It's a nice system and I enjoy being able to look for a song or two that I like and buy just those. I bought...

Night shift finished on Sunday morning so I had Monday and Tuesday off to compensate for the loss of the weekend. I'd originally planned to go see my friend Philip up in Toyooka (about... Personal JapanMike 2004-08-09T01:08:06+08:00 http://WWW.japanmike.net/blog/archives/000070.html As you can probably tell from my last post, I've decided to start using this blog again. I'm planning to post about once a week though maybe more often and inevitably sometimes less often. I want to use the site...

Apparently some Australian Falun Gong practitioners had gone to South Africa to reveal the human rights violations committed... Falun Gong JapanMike 2004-07-07T01:25:05+08:00 http://WWW.japanmike.net/blog/archives/000068.html Just a small announcement to say that I'm not using the blog anymore - frankly I'm just not interested enough in it. For now I'll leave it up as an archive but once I've transferred the things I want to... JapanMike 2004-02-08T17:33:51+08:00 http://WWW.japanmike.net/blog/archives/000066.html I’ve been studying Japanese for a little over a year now and felt like I was getting quite good. OK, so there’s lots I don’t understand and can’t say but I felt I was getting somewhere despite my lack of...

I got an even 50/50 split between thinking and feeling the first time I did the test but closed the window and had to take the test again which...

Today, as is often the case, the ESS students were doing maths homework at the beginning of club. I have a strange fascination with mathematics and always want to have a go. To take whatever... JapanMike 2003-10-09T21:07:47+08:00 http://WWW.japanmike.net/blog/archives/000063.html For some reason when I (or anyone else) tries to post a comment on the site it comes up with an error. Of course the person then reposts and gets the error again (I think). This is resulting in multiple...

By this I mean the things that I come across that make me feel "thats just not right!". Living in Japan has taught me that I need to reign this impulse in and think a... JapanMike 2003-09-18T15:40:41+08:00 http://WWW.japanmike.net/blog/archives/000059.html Just thought I'd put this pic up. This was taken while my friend Philip was here in August.
