No wonder the Japanese are so slim, half the food in Japan is made of none other than plastic!!
I refer you to the BBC's report on this Fake Food Phenomenon: Click here for the BBC's Video Report
Andrew and Jen model an entire loaf of bread made of plastic for a mere £5. Now I've seen everything!
My phone charms-Oreo, Pingles and Peroni (left) and please enjoy the typical poor english found at the bottom of the Yakitori packet (left)!

A bit of a mouthful!
The Olympics is a popular topic among AEON students. It's refreshing to see the usually restrained students get so fired up and patriotic! It's also eye-opening to watch tv coverage from a different country's point of view: extensive documentries and interviews of each athlete are shown on many channels simultaneously, and Japan's first ever medal in the men's figure skating is still being discussed on talk shows 2 days later! When Japan played the UK at curling, I wasn't sure where my priorities should lie!
Everytime I watch the Olympics coverage, I'm reminded of Mamgu and Nagypapa :)
Birthday requests
It's my birthday soon, so I wanted to make some modest requests:D Some things I've been craving:
Trebor Softmints- I haven't found any mint-based sweets in Japan :(
Bounty chocolate bars
Crunchie chocolate bars
Moisturising cream
A tin of baked beans
And finally.. a new camera, since the display broke when I dropped it in the snow two weeks ago. ヤバイ :(
Contract Extension
I will be renewing my contract for at least a further 3 months, which will take me past December 18th ２０１０年. I will have a meeting with the staff about it early next month.
It's a long way off, so it's impossible to make an informed decision, but it's a good income, I like the hours (12-9pm) and I enjoy getting to know the students and feel confortable teaching them. Work can be stressful, as can any job, but it's definitely the best job I've ever had. I enjoy my life here, and although I miss family and friends and certain undefinable things, I'm not ready for job-hunting in the UK when I have a stable job here.
