Well, the dream is over. I’m back in work. Today was the school’s opening ceremony, which means standing around for ages in the cold, and then the students all went home but we had to stay in work until 1.30pm. Doing nothing. So yeah this might be the one day in my whole gap year that I remember as being the best. I’ll write my speech just as soon as Jessica Simpson writes her MENSA acceptance speech.
Yesterday was coming of age day in Japan, when all the 20 year olds dress up and become adults. I got quite a lot of nice photos of the girls in their kimonos, so I’ll post them when I do my next update. Speaking of which, the frequency with which I update may slow down a little over the coming weeks, until March when I’m on holiday again! Woohoo!
My Harajuku Girls entry is getting an awful lot of attention from fashion blogs, so I’m planning to head back to Harajuku when I can to get some better photos of the oddly-dressed lunatics. We don’t really have much else coming up but when I get the chance, I’ll run off with my camera and take some interesting photos.

How much do you get per ad clicked?
Not very much but it adds up. It’s just to cover the cost of the .com which is coming up soon.
Hi.
I am currently studying my AS-Levels (got a Maths module in 2 hours :( ) and I stumbled upon this great blog when searching Google for the words Japanese Studies at Sheffield University, as it is what I intend to do at university.
Anyway, the website you link to on your Gap Year page has peaked my interests, as I too want to take a Gap Year in Japan, with my only prior problem being that I just couldn’t find an organisation that had a structure build up for one, like the one Project Trust has.
Anyhow, I was wondering how much of the Japanese language you knew prior to going out there, as currently I know only a few words, and how much you know now.
I would’ve e-mailed you this but I couldn’t find any contact details on the site
Thanks.
Greg
Greg:
I’m working on contact details. Whoops!
Anyway – you need to know exactly no Japanese to get on my gap year project. However you need to apply soon (before Feb I think) and the competition for this project is huge. Best of luck :)
Better go to Harajuku on a Saturday or Sunday :P
dude, watch out. if you tell people to click on ads, google will get mad at you
