I apologise for the delay! I had been busy helping with my co-worker's wedding, then I've been having some technical difficulties.
News: As for the 'Adventure' that Toshi and I will be embarking on, it looks probable that Toshi will be starting late next month, and that I shall follow early October. I'm trying not to stress out (and failing..)
Camping May 30th 2012
I appreciate you've probably had enough of seeing my camping photos, so I'll just put up two. We left straight after our work finished (we both happened to finish at 6) and hurried to a place called Kawai (no, not kawaii , meaning cute!). This campsite was amazing- no ants or insects to speak of at all! And a lovely, clear stream flowed nearby. Definitely want to go again!
Charlie's Wedding June 2nd 2012
Charlie and his wife Rimi chose to hold a Western-style (as do approx. 90% of couples in Japan) in their favourite Italian restaurant. As couples in Japan legally marry at the local City Office (the same as in France and some other countries), the couples are free to hold any kind of ceremony or party afterwards and officials do not participate. The vows and exchanging of the rings were led by Charlie's old friend, Walter. I was given the honourable task of being receptionist and greeting the guests, as well as organising the party games for the after-party.
Venus Transit June 5th
Clouds, clouds, and more clouds ;( Oh well, only another 105 years to wait..
Disney Sea June 10th
Since Jen's departure from Japan, it had been a long time since I'd been to Disneyland or Sea, but I finally managed tocoerce convince Toshi into going with me! For someone who loves Disney movies and songs, he had been a bit grumpy, but I think in retrospect he isn't such a fan of rollercoasters..
Anyway, we had a good time =D

Hadn't realised my Japanese had such a Welsh accent!

No, not Mexico, the Indiana Jones ride!
A Planetarium (yay!) and a bunch of Japanese girls wearing their school uniform who all looked exactly alike (..;)
Typhoon #4 June 19th
Not a happy, drenched bunny with a destroyed umbrella (>.<;) But at least the rain was warm!
