The last 10 days have been eventful, and at the same time not very eventful. I finished work on the 25th and it was emotional and also a relief to have finally completed my year of teaching. The last lesson went well and I was given presents and photos from the students. I even got a call from one of my students who wasnt able to make it so that was nice.

On Sunday the 26th I packed my bags and tidied my room, went to the leaving do and got very drunk, sang at a Karaoke place with Russell and my old boss until 5am and then went home and crashed for a few hours.

Then over the next few days, me and Sheryl did various necessary things to prepare for Mt Fuji and going home. We bought tickets for the bus to get to the 5th station and back and got the final few things before we set off on the Thursday.

Climbing Mt Fuji was tough, the experience was amazing and I’m gonna write a seperate post about it before I leave, because it warrants it’s own post to do the whole thing any justice. So that was Thursday night/Friday morning and after Fuji, was a 2 day break to recover.

Sunday was the second leaving do, this time in Shibuya. It was all of our friends, about 10-15 people showed up in the end which was nice. It was a relatively quiet affair, everyone coming, giving gifts/taking pics whilst drinking lots and then leaving by 11 (it was a Sunday night after all!). Yesterday (Monday) was spent getting the last few things packed as well as ensuring that everything is ready for the flight home on Thursday.

Today the plan is to head into Shibuya, clear out the bank account and go for one last session with Matt and Sheryl. Not too sure how late it will be but it should be great. Tomorrow will be the last day in Kita Kogane before heading to Narita to stay in a hotel near the airport.

Thursday it’s all over.
