Today's Picture: Abs of a Savior!

Japan

knows what's up when it comes to fitness. Why look to any other source for body image? Here's the thing, though: this product is an appetite suppressant.
So, what does it take to get the body you want? One word: Sacrifice.

Some Funnies

As our first year (6 months, really) draws to a close, I think it's important to display the winners of this year's worst (as in best) English sentences. Coming in third place is a very silly dialoge written by some third-years at my school. Another ALT discovered this and thankfully showed me. It's obvious what they're trying for but they really miss the mark: A: Hello. B: Hello. This is H. May I speak to T please? A: This is T. B: Great! I'm going to prikura (sic). Can you come to porice (sic) office at midnight? A: Yes! Of course! That sounds fun! Do you want me to bring anything? B: Sure. Could you bring some monneys (sic)? A: Yes. Thank you for inviting me. I'm so bad! See you! B: You're welcome. Fuck you! Second place is two sentences that can be taken as a pair or as stand-alone awesomeness. These were written by one of my third year students when we had a unit on debates: A: ...

A Return to Japan, 2015

Several years ago we had the opportunity to take some good friends of ours, Bo and Liz, to Japan. I'm going to focus on the new things we did and then link to previous blog posts for reference to the things we repeated from our time living in Japan. The trip started out awesome and then kind of fell into a bad place for me and Matt, unfortunately. I chalk it up to our inability to tell Bo and Liz when we wanted to do something different from what they wanted to do, and Matt's desire to be a good guide in the country as he was the only fluent Japanese speaker. He felt a lot of responsibility and then got really tired and very stressed out, which in turn made me very stressed out. I say this not as a rebuke of our friends, who had no way to know how we were feeling since we didn't communicate, but as a gentle suggestion to anyone who travels with friends. Say how you feel and don't be passive aggressive about it. Own up to your limitations and ask for what you need. Your ...

Amazing Architecture of Kyoto

With our extremely long summer vacation, Matt and I decided to take another trip, this time south to the cities of Osaka and Kobe. We again went via nori-hodai , passing through Kyoto on the way to and from Osaka. For purposes of time and space, I'll consolidate our two Kyoto outings in this post, then move on to talk about the main part of our vacation. On the way down, we visited two temples just a short jaunt from the main JR Kyoto Station. Walking north we quickly ran into the Higashi Hongan-ji , or "Eastern Temple of the Original Vow." Apparently it is in the top few largest wooden buildings in the world. In any case, it is quite impressive. We weren't allowed to take pictures in the site, so I can't wow you with the inner glory of the temple. I can, however, show an aerial view of the complex taken from an online tourism site and wikipedia: You can see just how awe-inspiring the structures are, even from the outside. If you go...
