Week's End

Its about 5:45 PM right now, and I just got back from our last day of training, which really didn't amount to all too much: we did some practice lessons in the morning, but it mostly amounted to the trainers telling us about housing (which is changing tomorrow - we're all moving to apartments in Chiba (its way cheaper to live outside of Tokyo than to live in)), and then a guy who runs a mobile phone business through Softbank (a cell provider in Japan) that provides foreigners with cheaper deals. I waas about to hook myself up with an iPhone, but then I thought, "there's a 5 day holiday break coming up and I can't cash any travelers checks during that time. Do I really want to throw down a good 150K Yen on something that I can pick up when I'm much more economically and geographically stable?" So I held off, and am, thus, still phoneless. Its not so bad... I'll just mooch off of everyone else who did buy a phone.

Who knows when I'll be placed, probably pretty soon. Gotta run, we're all headed to Shibuya. I'll post pictures at some point.
