'Twas November in Japan....

...and autumn was in full swing.



We ventured to the Iwatayama monkey park in Arashiyama, Kyoto. The monkeys were out and about, doing their thing...

Consensus is out - we are lazy... and cold

The weather has now turned and is reminding us of the cold that greeted us when we first arrived. Its amazing its already been 9 months into this journey of sorts, and we feel that the next 3 months will be gone before we have time to catch our breath.

We have been up to much since our last post, and we hopefully be up to much more in the next few months. We have planned a skiing trip with several work friends to Hakuba in Nagano, Pat and Di are in town at the moment, and the day they leave, Jo will arrive. Following on the heels of her departure will be Rob, followed by Andrew (possibly). Then we head to Nagano for skiing, then Tokyo, then the rest - we will see.

That seems to be what we will be doing, but we have done much since September. From what I can remember, we have had an impromptu visit from Aimee and Dirk, managed to catch Radiohead in concert, saw an awsome fireworks display, finished up with our Japanese lessons, Halloweened it up in Osaka and possibly more things that i cannot remember.
