I'm leaving AEON and Tottori soon, and some things I will miss while others I won't. This should make for a good summary of the countryside Japan English conversation teacher lifestyle.
Things I will miss: * Going to the most popular restaurant in Tottori on a Saturday night without a reservation and having no problem getting a table. * My tap water tastes like Zeus's water on Mount Olympus. * The air doesn't make me gag and cough.
* Allergies? What allergies? I think I remember having those. * Living 3 minutes from Jusco. * Waking up at 10am and not having to start work for 3 hours. * 3-hour lunch breaks (maybe I'll watch a movie). * Playing at Afterhours. * Having Mondays off because everywhere and everything is empty. For example, I have the entire Hyou-No-Sen ski resort to myself when I can get outta bed and head over there.
Things I won't miss: * That damn temple drummer. * Oh, it's raining again. Oh, now it's snowing. Damn... * Where's the sun? I haven't seen it in 2 weeks. I hope everything's okay. * Did I mention the frozen Siberian wasteland? * Those sometimes-creepy students that drive me batty. * Next train in 55 minutes! * Having to work Saturdays. * You have a sudden craving for Mexican food? Good luck, dude! I hope you brought your credit card.
