AnckSuNamun - Thanks!...I think.

Ocean - Thank you!

Muse2NOPharaoh - Thanks! Wow, I really wonder what the Japanese would think if a truckload of Orgers of all colours and sizes came marching into town. I think I'm going to mess up their sense of order enough as it is.

Nikki23 - Thanks for believing in me.

Now those immigration authorities had better approve my visa application, otherwise I'll have to post a "I'm not going after all. Screw those immigration nazis!" thread.

Congrats!

And good luck!!


I wanna go to japan.

Congratulations !! I bet it's going to be wonderful there.

CarrieMpls - Well come with me then! And thank you.

shellyevon - Thanks! I think so too. But it will also be very, very different. I'm sure a simple thing like shopping for groceries will be a real challenge, which is cool by me. I like challenges and adventures. I just hope I won't inadvertently buy an ultra poisonous blowfish or something.

finally you'll be on here decent hours again!

well done!

charlottegelin said:

Thanks, Charlotte!

Decent hours...everything should be measured by Aussie standards, eh?

Are you in the exact same time zone as Japan?

of course!
no, I think we are ahead by an hour or so (?).

charlottegelin said:

Wherever I go or whatever I do you're one step ahead of me. Kids, marriage, proper job, time zone...

retina said:

I graduated from university when I was 21 - compared to swedish qaulifications I have a degree "lite" - feel any better?

charlottegelin said:

Yes. And I just realized that you are much closer to forty (at which age - as we all know - you're really old and over the hill) than I am. But don't worry, I'll buy you a cane made of the finest Swedish wood.

retina said:

50 is the new 30

charlottegelin said:

You know, that actually made me suddenly feel better about my age. Just like that. I love your positive attitude.

charlottegelin said:

No, seriously.

retina said:

That's nice

You're getting to travel to Japan and pursue the noble art of teaching?! Awesome!

Best wishes!

I have no idea what the rabbit is for, but I love it.

Thanks for your support!

retina said:

Well, uh, he seemed as happy for you as I am ..so I posted him

SynthiaRose said:

Ah, okay. I thought for a minute that maybe you're psychic and knew intuitively that I'm the proud owner of this little baby:



But I appreciate the emoticon bunny's happy hopping in and of itself anyway.

She just told me she's very hungry today...


...


Just kidding, Retina. Very cute bunny.

MarieLouise said:

Thank you. I think your cat and my bunny would like each other actually. They would fall for each other's cuteness.

What will happen to your bunny when you start work?

Reincarnate said:

Well, it's been a matter of great concern actually. When I left Vancouver I couldn't take her with me on the plane (her little heart wouldn't have been able to put up with the stress of a fifteen hour journey), so I left her in the care of a close friend of mine, who is unfortunately leaving for Japan too in a few days. Our solution was to put Dorothy in a bunny hostel (yes, there is actually such a thing) for which we will share the cost. The woman who runs the hostel truly cares about bunnies and has promised to give her love and good food every day and let her hop around in the apartment. Considering that our only other options were a guy with two cats () and a class of twenty school kids (), I think we made the right decision.
