Nuptuals

Well well well.....it has been a while since i made an entry, life has been moving fast and there have been a few changes in the Reeve-Gamez household. Luke got his job and despite being told we were going to be in Washington DC they changed their minds and are shipping us of to New York City instead....not that i am complaining!!! We will be trying to find an apartment during thanksgiving week and moving in around christmas time. After waiting for what seems like forever for the visa things have finally started moving along and more forms have come for me to fill in....it's never ending i swear! Also i have moved to Arizona while Luke is doing his federal training in New Mexico, so i am driving out every weekend to see him and spending the rest of the time getting to know his family, which is really nice. Check out the wedding pictures.... if you click on the "Nuptuals" title at the top it should take you to the photosite.

Countdown 4 days!!!

Am am heading back to Old Blighty in 4 days time....the bags are almost packed, the apartment is almost clean....and i can't sleep for the excitement!!!

Sayonara Party 2006

The Sayonara Party of 2006 was a quiet affair, but nice all the same. People escaped the mainland for the night and hit Naoshima art island for a chilled out BBQ. I, however, headed back in the evening to be disappointed by England defeat in the World Cup...Grrrr!

Night Party-Tottori

This picture of me and chris is about the only one where at least one of us doesn't look totally special! Glad it was taken when we were reasonably dry....later in the night chris could wring out his shirt from the hardcore dancing to...urm....Kylie.

Trash on Trash!

Basking in the glory of the beautiful Japanese coastline, does it get much better than this? It's not a vacation unless you come home with hepatitis.

Tottori Beach Party

So it has been argued that the annual Tottori beach party is the best party of the year in Japan....ok....yeah it was pretty good! Just a few injuries and scandals, so all in all a sweet time. Despite this picture being taken during a cloudy spell, the weather was gorgeous and we partied the day and night away to the cool beats of DJ Silva. Strange that the best DJ i have seen in Japan was on a beach in Tottori not in the clubs of Osaka and Tokyo.

Last Day at Seto

This is Satsuki my lovely team-teaching buddy at Seto High School in our last class together this week. Sayonara Seto!!!

Rainy Season

Sweet lord it is lashing down today!!! Despite being an incredibly HOT 32 degrees this week, the heavens have opened on Okayama. It is so heavy it actually hurts when it hits you....and to make matters worse the humidity is killin me in the staff room....counting down the days for the AC to be turned on!

地震...EARTHQUAKE!

Yup, another earthquake happened on monday morning. The epicentre was in Kyushu (southern Japan) and it measured 6.2 magnitude. I was rudely awakened at 5am with my house shaking and screen doors banging. I think i am getting used to earthquakes too because i stayed in bed a while deciding whether it was bad enough to get out of my cosy blanket and take cover. Not a nice way to be woken up! There was another smaller one about 3 hours later in Aomori (northern Japan)....luckly i didn't feel that one and neither caused a Tsunami.
