Birthdays come and go...

And I feel so much older. ARGH! Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. I'm sure there's a few people that I forgot to reply back to, so I'm sorry.
Anyway, someone pointed out that this is my first birthday away from home. It is. Somewhat crap, but I still managed to have a good time on my birthday. Went to an Australian-themed American restaurant in Japan, kinda strange...called Outback Steakhouse. Doesn't really do justice to a real good Australian steak, but you can get a pretty decent meal with MEAT. Anyway, here are the two photos I took on the night, hahaha. All guys...sad. :) Oh, but the girls were cute, the second from the left was the one serving us, had awesome english too.


Well, not much has happened recently, except that two of our three staff are moving to a new branch. Nova is incredible with its treatment towards its Japanese staff. Since I've been here, I've had three different managers, and am about to get a 4th. And they give the staff about 1 days notice. It's ridiculous! Our manager was awesome, such a great, fun person...but now she's going to Geoff's branch!

Amanda's back in Melbourne, I bet you had an awesome time, maz...can't wait to get back to Melbourne either. But in the meantime, I can't wait to see Tim and Min! Just a few more weeks.

thank u everybody back home...missing u
