good to hear from you again. ...Konnichiwa Noel san,<br />good to hear from you again. I make sure my students don't call me Jason san more than once. I do this as part of teaching them what to call people in Western society. I think that the sooner they know how to refer to another person in English speaking countries, the better, especially as most of my students are business people, but yes, it does happen from time to time!<br />The top photo was taken at the Ogimachi area of Shirakawa-go. It definitely took my breath away while I was there!<br />Typhoons don't have much of an affect on Tokyo. That's why I felt pretty safe heading out into the typhoon to take the video.<br />I saw that Paddy made his move and that we got Cooney. I just hope Cooney's injuries are behind him. I also see today that ASADA are ready to issue the show-cause notices to the players again. I just want for this whole issue to be over so that the players can simply focus on Footy.<br />Take care Noel, and speak again soon.<br />Jason.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-45176402037910281942014-10-17T20:32:32.756+11:002014-10-17T20:32:32.756+11:00Konnichiwa Jason san(by the way,do your students.o...Konnichiwa Jason san(by the way,do your students.or Japanese friends use Jason san to you?).The cover photo seems to be taken at Ogimachi...one of the most beautiful places I visited whilst in Nihon.<br />Although typhoons are common in Japan, they would no doubt be we well controlled in Tokyo;although it would be only natural that from time to time flooding and power blackouts would occur.In the last month , we have had two very windy days...with events cancelled on the Monday long weekend.Winds reached around 100 kmph.<br />The videos worked just fine!<br />As you would know by now,Paddy Ryder is gone,but getting Cooney(an Adelaide boy) will add a bit of sting to the centreline.Giles the ruckman,could be a bonus.Overall,I expect the side to improve on last year.Nice to see Fletch. go around one more time!<br />With winter approaching,I was wondering if you might head to Niseko...apparently lots of Aussies go there during the snow season,where I believe the snow is as good as anywhere in the world.<br />Weather conditions here are heating up and the hills are dry as a bone.Fire bans have been put in place for this coming Monday.<br />Well Jason, can forget footy for a while and keep our fingers crossed for a better season next year.<br />It will interesting to see how Paddy settles in at his new club!<br />Dewa mata...Noel.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.com
