Gym? Oh... GYM x2!

Joined up with the brand new Kita Koshigaya gym last night. It took longer than expected (about an hour) due to there being no English speaker on at that time. After talking to one of the guy staff members later on (who spoke a little English) I found out there's only one fluent English speaker on the whole staff. I managed though, and became quite the celebrity in the process. The girl that was helping with my signup yelling a big "SUGOI!" (cool!) when I said I was a teacher, while the other staff members huddled together saying how cool it was that I was joining.

Purrdence, I wonder if you got the same treatment?

I joined up with the REGULAR membership so I can go there any day and any time, though it closes at 11:30pm and all day Monday.

Loved the gym. Everything was brand new and shiny, though there seemed to be less variety in weight machines compared to Sengendai.

Hiroko gave me a ring the other day and we're FINALLY going to catch up in person! Only took us 7 months! :D I hate having to work on weekends. It makes it really hard to hang out with the girls from Uni and Yoshi.
