I have had my salsa debut in Japan! You can see the video here:
During the spring I took a wonderful vacation down to Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. Hopefully in the future some photos from the trip will be posted.
In Tokyo we are now on the verge of summer and the rainy season. The past couple of weeks have been a bit humid but actually quite pleasant overall. I'm told that starting now, however, it will rain non-stop for a month and eventually become oppressively hot and humid - I'm bracing for it! It also appears that we are in the beginning of cockroach season. Summer will be a... new experience.
Regarding teaching, things are going quite well overall and I have just renewed my contract for 1/2 year, which brings it out to around May, 2011.
Just wanted write a quick post because it had been quite a while.
Enjoy the World Cup! (Congratulations to Japan for winning the first game they played : )
