100 Post Party!

So, my last post apparently was the 100th post I've made on my blog. Very exciting were it not for the fact that a lot of posts on this blog were rebloged from an older blog I used to have. It's interesting to see that after almost two months of absence that I still get people checking my site daily. Not a significant amount but it's more than ten which is at least nine more than I figured would. In fact today I've gotten a few views from Russia and Austrlia. Today I met up with Rob. He's the Canadian teacher who gave me his Friday class before he left for Canada. If you've kept up with things them you know he's moved back to Japan. While I was away in Canada I lent him his English books back and since I've been back I've kinda needed them. I was worried because we had a few email exchanges and then when it seemed like we had a plan he stopped replying. However yesterday he gave me his reply saying everything was a go. And also apologized for the late response. Turns out he had a terrible cough and his whole week hasn't been very productive. So we met up in Starbucks because it's hot out and Starbucks is air conditioned. We chatted a little while and I got a few tips and interesting things from him. Like how I should maybe invest in an e-reader. I love books, let's get that out right now. Love books. Would have a library if there was the room. But I don't have the room. Plus books don't do so well in the humid. Especially stored in boxes. I feel bad for my books. They don't often see the light of day unless I'm currently reading them. So as much as I'd like to just keep getting books because books, I am now figuring I should get one of those electronic book readers. Those can't get deformed. I will miss my books, however... Also I had mentioned that I like photography and in my spare time I occasionally go around and snap a few pictures of Japan. His response was "oh, really? I might have a job for you in November. My friend needs someone with a halfway decent camera to snap some shots of a motorcycle show in Tokyo." I told him that in no way would I consider myself a professional but apparently that doesn't matter as long as I've got a good looking camera. Huh. Interesting. The other thing he pointed out to me was how easy it'd be to get m license in Japan. Or he made it seem so. I'd have to look into it. But it seems easy although I've only got a paper license. Not a full one. This makes things trickier but he says it's still feasible. Just things to think about.
