During the First Week of May it was a Holiday Period in Japan known as Golden Week. It is a period of time when Japanese and Foreigners living in Japan travel in different Areas in the Country. I myself decided to Travel by going to the Northern island of Japan named Hokkaido. There I went tot its Capital City, Sapporo.It was a short Trip but I Managed to see Many things including the Sapporo Beer Factory, the Sapporo Olympic Ski Jump Slope, the Sapporo Park and the Main Part of the City, Downtown.

Hello Friends and Family! I've Been Taking a BREAK from Using my bLOG but I'm NOW BACK and READY to ROCK and ROLL! I'll Be Adding some New Pictures that I hadn't added from my GOLDEN WEEK Trip Up North of JAPAN in Hokkaido. Here You GO! :)

-BEGINNING

Well after 4 Months living in Japan these are my First Impressions:
Japan is a BEAUTIFUL Country to Discover and this is what I am starting to do. So Far I have done most of my Sightseeing in My Living Area which is in the Prefecture of Yamagata or Yamagata-Ken located in the Northern Part of North Honshu, One of the Main Islands of Japan. I work in the Yamagata-Sendai Prefecture which means that I can go as far as the Largest City in the Area Sendai which with its over 1 Million Inhabitant makes it a Popular Spot to get a Big City Atmosphere. For Most of my transports by Train when I go Teach, It usually takes me about 30 Minutes to get to my Destination and so a typical Teaching Day makes me Travel an average of 1 Hour Train Ride. The Trains in Japan are very efficient, Fast and Reliable. It is in my view, the Best Way to Travel in Japan. I Really enjoy riding the Trains. They are very comfortable and during the Cold Months, the seats are heated so that passengers are never cold. Regarding the Food, Japan has plenty of Specialty meals that are waiting to be discovered. Eating out in Japan is Fairly cheap which makes it more possible to try out the many delicious meals from this very unique Asian Cuisine.
A Few Words on my Actual Job which is Teaching to Kids aged between 0-17, yes that's Right this wide age Range. I should also include Full-Grown Adults since I am also teaching them so they can teach their kids. The Work is SUPER FUN and EXCITING! There is not a single day that is the same and that is what makes the work Rewarding and varied. The Kids I have to say are ALL GREAT! They are well-behaved, Disciplined and possess a Genuine Interest in Learning the Language of Shakespeare which makes the work for me Much more easy to do!:) The People that Work for Peppy Kids Club are also very nice and I was Lucky enough to meet some Great people since my Early Arrival in Japan, in Nagoya, Takasaki and the Yamagata, Sendai Prefectures. Social Networking is something that is Important for any Foreigner who is just arriving in a New Country. I have started doing some and of course, I will know even more people as I continue enjoying my New Life in Japan!

FIRST PART -2 DAY TRAINING AT KTC CENTER IN NAGOYA

My First Two Months

Hello Folks! Just a few words to let you in on how were my first two months. I arrived in Japan on February 5th. Then I was welcomed at Nagoya International Airport. I received training for two days and then was re-located in Takasaki an area near Tokyo for the remaining of my 2-Weeks Training Period. After succeeding my training I was then sent to my Teaching and Living Area: Yamagata City in the Yamagata Prefecture. I have now been in Yamagata since February 22nd. It is a very Nice city which ias located on the Eastern Part of Northern Eastern Honshu. I am Teaching for Peppy Kids CLub Company affiliated to ITTTI JAPAN, the Company that hired me to teach English to Kids aged between 0-Late Teens. It's been a Great time to Adapt in Japan and the Process as gone smoothly although it's taken a while to get all of the papers and documents done. Anyway, I'm glad to be all set in Japan and from now on I will be talking to you about my Life, my Work and my Travelling Experiences! Cheers! :)
