I live on Planet Japan

I am taking a short trip back to the land of cheap beer aka the USA tomorrow. My best friend Mike is getting married and I will attend his wedding in Orlando. I am happy to see him but that’s a long flight for just a few days. I have to get back to Japan ASAP because my current job does not have paid vacation. So if I don’t work I don’t get paid. I like GABA and I would like to move up in the company but I am afraid I won’t be making enough money to sustain myself without working 12 hours a day. I have been looking around a bit for some other teaching opportunities but nothing concrete has come along yet. It’s ok though for now I am ok. As long as I make near 200,000 Yen a month I can get along ok. I just don’t have a ton of extra money. I have been thinking about taking a trip to Peru to visit a friend I have there but I am going to need to save about 3000 grand for the trip so I don’t see that happening this year. Maybe in 07 I can swing it. I want to take a trip to Sapporo this year to so I need to save for that trip as well. There is so much adventure to be had but so little money to spend ha-ha. However my life is pretty good and I am happy for the most part. I just need to find some ways to get a little more income flowing in and try to keep so much from flowing out. (^_^)
