日本語がわかりません !

Yo! Summer has well and truely arrived in Japan. Despite the aforementioned rainy season, the mercury hangs out in the 20's all day and night, and the humidity is very uncomfortable....thank goodness for air-conditioning!
From July 1st, I will be teaching at a new school in Omori, near Tokyo. It means I have to travel a little further (no more cycling to work) and the train is one of the busier lines - sardine style.....hopefully its not too bad. I've also lost my Sunday/Monday weekend, in exchange for Tuesday/Wednesday, but on the plus side I will be working more mornings - great for the summer - and I have found some gyms to play midweek basketball (pickup games only).
Here's a few pics of me with Aki, Terry and Saki, dressed in Yukatas for a recent neighbourhood festival. T and I were definately the subjects of many stares as we showed the locals how its suppossed to be done!
