So a few days ago i finally decided my coffee intake was really not sufficient and i scouted out the 100 Yen store for a mug big enough to satiate my need for caffiene. I finally biked home with a large mug (at least three times the size of the dinky little green tea cup i'd been drinking from) that sports some fabulous words of encouragement inthe morning. Plus its polka dotted, my new thing it seems. Here is what it says (word for word, letter for letter, in perfect engrish):
Hou are you?
Have a nice day! Gentle time is on my side.
Under that sky...
Hello!
Today's feeling is what color.
very good!
So yeah, hooray for morning coffee and english phrases on japanese things. It never fails to make me laugh seeing something like this on a cup or a t-shirt or whatnot. So good.

Oles at our graduation picnic
Whose idea was this? Here i've landed in a country where i can't read, write, or speak the language, where grocery shopping or withdrawing money from the bank is an adventure, and where they expect me to actually teach young, impressionable students. Luckily, life in Japan does have its own fabulous rewards - like all night karaoke, Hyaku-en shops, conbini's, other JETs, new Japanese friends and so much more.
Because why not?
