Re: Shinjuku

I went to Shinjuku today on business. It has not changed much since I was last there 3 years ago. It is a difficult city to discribe, perhaps much like Manhatten. The atmosphere is much like a painting, with the awesome achievements mankind in art and technology displayed proudly in the forground w
ith the seedy grey market businesses greed and lust in the backdrop.

It is definately a place country folks like myself should visit once in a while to remind ourselves of the hugeness of the human race.

Well, time to get off the train.

Spring has finally arrived here in Yokohama. This spring has been unussually cold. I hear that vegitables prices will rise due to the reoccuring cold snaps we've had.

On a different note, I'm excited the future. Well, ussually I am, but this time in a very differnt way.

Yesturday I talked with two teachers who were subbing at our school. One came from England, the other from France. Both are nearly 10 years older than myself. The British gent went back to the UK to begin a "real career" in education but quickly hated it. He prefers to have the nicer students, less
er expectations and lesser pay he gets here in Japan. The lady from France told a very different story. She wants to go back because her job here has so little responsibilities. She's quite unique, since she can speak 4 languages - highly educated and modivated.

After hearing their stories I guess I feel that I can be happy (or unhappy) whereever I am. It is all about my way of thinking

Feelings of worry

Actually, there is little to worry about in my life. I have a job, I still have my health, I have loving friends and family... what more could I want?

Well, I want a new job. I've been given a small promotion this year. I will soon be responsible for doing progress reports for the sales department along with trainning teachers. However, I feel that if I continue it will only hurt my chances of getting a good career back in the US.

I still love Japan, but I now want to pursue a new career. I've applied to two jobs over the last year, and was rejected even before the interviews. I will be applying to three more jobs in the next three weeks. However, I feels these are just shots in the dark.

I'll try to keep this blog updated on what happens.
