I'll be looking forward to some good pictures and a few lies to embellish them. ;)
Have a great trip!
Jun 29, 2012 at 5:48 pm #1891150enjoy your time away, Nick.
Jun 29, 2012 at 7:18 pm #1891165Have a great, safe trip Nick!
Jun 29, 2012 at 9:58 pm #1891184Are you and Roger trying to rub our noses in the dirt for having to work through the summer?
I wish I could go with either of you- have fun be safe.Jun 29, 2012 at 10:04 pm #1891185I will be leaving on a trip sometime in the near future. Just thought I would let you all know as I suspect it will affect your life in some meaningful way.
Jun 29, 2012 at 10:10 pm #1891187I have several trips planned for the near future.
I'll make up for it when I get back.
It'll be like I was never gone!
Jun 30, 2012 at 3:33 am #1891192I'll be sitting at my desk for the next few weeks. Safely hidden away from prying eyes, while all of you are out there roaming the wilds. Have a fire waiting for me if I get back. You never know about those domestic dust devils and indoor water sources.
Have a safe and unforgettable trip, Nick!
Jun 30, 2012 at 11:18 am #1891217Are you teaching over the summer?
Jun 30, 2012 at 4:42 pm #1891247David, yeah. Japan doesn't have summer-long breaks like in North American schools. I do, luckily, get 3 three weeks off in August, so better than nothing. My school is pretty miserly compared to most universities in Japan, who get a month or more off. That said, most of the non-teaching staff at my school (the office staff and custodial workers) get a mere three days summer vacation, and since most Japanese also work on Saturdays, I really can't complain. I don't know how the Japanese keep it together. Everyone is always exhausted and locked in this hellish 9 to 10 routine, including very long, sardine-can train commutes… and they all complain about it. Thing is, give most of them more than a week off and they have no idea what to do with themselves. I know what I'd be doing !!!. Nick's definitely got the right idea!
