Getting there!

I can't believe how fast this month is going! It still hasn't clicked that this time next month I'll be in a different country for the first time in my life. Yup, I havn't even ever been outside New South Wales! (Well I've been to the ACT but that's technically still in NSW. ;)

Bec and I went and saw Big Fish the other day at the George Street Hoyts (big Tim Burton fan) and then we snuck into the cinema opposite and sat in on the second half of Lost in Translation, a film about two English speaking people staying in Japan. Bec had seen it before and said that it had just started... naturally twenty minutes later the film was over.

While watching these twenty minutes of film it finally started to occur to me... "I'm going to go to Japan!". It was the train ride past Mt Fuji that did it. At least I've finally gotten over my denial.

On another note I'm trying to get my health all sorted before I go with dentist and orthodontist and doctors, etc. If you're going to be teaching in Japan, see the doctors and dentists 2 - 3 months before you go! Much easier to budget and if you need teeth out you'll be able to!
