Coming Soon & We’re In The Newspaper!

Posted October 21st, 2006. Filed under Gap Year Teaching In Japan

This morning, the site’s template ate itself and I had to reinstall it, but I lost the header graphic. I thought this was a good opportunity to do a new one. It’s the same sort of thing – black and white image of a Japanese castle, but I think the new one is a bit clearer.

I’ve tried to restore the rest of the site as best I could, and although I lost my big list of music it was really more for me to show off with than anything else. I’m going to use Flickr a lot more than I have been, too. Daf talked me into that one. :)

Other than that my main goal is to update more regularly – I am going to try to get in at least one update a week and ideally I will try to do one every couple of days.

In other rather interesting news today, Matt and I were featured in the Yomuri Shimbun, one of Japan’s largest national newspapers. When I say featured, I actually mean a tiny little picture of us was at the back of the newspaper. Still, here’s a picture I took on my cellphone of the lucky event. I’ll scan in the page itself when I get the chance at school.

This was on about page six hundred and fifty of the newspaper. We have absoloutly no idea what they’re saying about us.

    “Dirty gaijin taking our women and our jobs.”

    It’s cool that you’re in the paper though, and the new image is rather snazzy looking.

    Thanks Kirsten. I actually made the new header image in about 2 minutes but nevermind. :)

    As for the paper – it’s pretty cool being INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS (not really…) but as for “dirty gaijin taking our jobs”, I don’t think I’ve met more than 5 Japanese people who could teach English…

    Well it doesn’t show, it looks very professional.

    But you are stealing their women, presumably ;P?

  4. [...] Tom and Craig have to do media training.  They’re going to get into the papers more than Matt and I did though. [...]
