4 months all in 1 post ;>

Yes I know, it's been 4 months since I have posted a blog. I can't say that I don't have anytime, but I have just been a bit lazy, especially when it comes to the Internet and my homepage.

So let's see.... Where should I start.

The new year started out great. Went home for 2 weeks and I really enjoyed the time back in the US. I still can't believe that customs actually asked me... "What is the purpose of your visit." I get questions on why I am returning home?... I responded with a polite "I'm visiting family." Like it is any of their business. I will update my website: http://brown.najapan.com/ soon so you can see the photos of the trip there.

Came back and spent a wonderful New Years in the country. I went to Guma, a prefecture about 3 hours away from Tokyo, and spent 3 days traveling around the area. It was nice to se snow. I must say, just a few hours away from Tokyo they do get a lot of snow. I think it is about the same Colorado gets in the winter.
Didn't do any skiing, but I really wanted too. Maybe next year.

For the rest of January and pretty much until March I just worked. I worked onsite at Seta International until March 18th but that place just got on my nerves way too much. I was working 6 days a week and with Oyamadai Junior High School, I found it just too much.

Mid March was really fun. I slept about 3 days straight. I think the stress of leaving and work, with my company, was just too much. I needed the rest. After I spent most of the time around Tokyo having lunch and diner with friends. Driving around. And just exploring some of the finer parts of Tokyo. It reminded me why I enjoy Japan so much.

April brings new opportunities and new challenges. I will keep updating here as well as my website.

Sorry for the long delay.
