Future Continuous: May 2006
http://future-continuous.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 31, 2006. If I hadn't been so busy, I would have written sooner.'. Well, one week on and I must apologise for I have written nothing - and so much has happened! So, what was I saying before I went off on a tangent? It is just after eleven pm. Given that I got to school at midday, it makes for a rather long shift. Although I am only teaching 22 hours per week, I have to be in school for 29.5 hours (? Posted by Genki Wren at 11:09 pm. Tuesday, May 23, 2006. Posted by Genki Wren at 4:15 am.

Future Continuous: December 2006
http://future-continuous.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 27, 2006. As I was about to join the line he asked me if I had a ticket. Confounded, I shook my head and tried to explain that I had just tried to buy one but was sent to the end of the line. He just smiled and said "yes, yes" and pointed at the ticket office. So, I went back to the office feeling rather annoyed. What was going on? Posted by Genki Wren at 11:45 pm. Yes, I will miss Tokyo. It is a truly unique experience. Posted by Genki Wren at 8:24 pm.

Wednesday, March 21, 2007. Today was the day that I used up that last of my Japanese orange-menthol toothpaste. It was also the day that I missed my return flight back to Tokyo. As far as my life in Japan was concerned, it really was goodbye. Upon returning home the first thing people tended to ask me was "So did you have a good time? So of course I said that I had a great time - which I did. Mostly. Though some of it was difficult. How long are you back for? Actually, I will miss everything. My frie...
