The exchange rate is AMAZING right now. When I came to Japan it was 250 yen to the pound, now it's 174. I just wish I had some money I could send home, I'm going to have to keep my fingers crossed that it will stay low until payday on the 21st.

My predecessor's predecessor has to come to school for a visit. It's been interesting talking to him and getting his thoughts on the job. If he ends up turning up today I think we're going for ramen at lunch. I've moved my private lesson to this week instead of next week so that he can come an see everyone, they'll be so happy to see him!
