Landed, luggage and language!
I am in Sapporo!
I arrived here on Tuesday and luggage came too. My big box from the UK hasn’t got here yet, it is taking it’s time through customs with a complication or two… But DHL is keeping me up to date and I hope it will be here next week!
I have moved into my new apartment. It’s great! Actually larger than I expected and really nice… I will post pictures sometime soon I promise!
I also spent some time today talking to Miriam Davis, the language co-ordinator here. We were discussing the syllabus and how things work for me in terms of language study. I was also introducted to Saito-sensei who will be teaching me Japanese for the next while. I will start before Christmas with two lessons a day, including some kanji (the chinese characters) and going up to three in the new year… I am really looking forward to this part now! I think I will enjoy language study!
While I was on the plane from singapore I saw an episode of Flight of the Conchords and this song made me laugh. So practise your french with the Conchords!

Great clip. Not to just be totally out of the loop, but I have not seen that. Is it part of a movie? Is the whole movie like that or is it just a strange aside?

Its from a comedy tv show called Flight of the Conchords about a pair of Kiwis who have a “band” are trying to make it big in the US… Every episode has some kind of musical bit, which are always much better than the music the band play in the series…
