Last Spamurai: August 2006
http://lastspamurai.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. Not far from my place is an incredible toy museum. It specialises in tin toys, automata (animated toys) and German wooden toys - especially nutcrackers. It seems strange that Arima, a famous onsen town, would be home to these beautiful little objects. but seeing as I'm only a few kilometres away, I'm not complaining! This is an example of automata. They involve winding a handle to make a scene come to life - often with humorous results. This one isn't funny, just quirky...Did I...

Last Spamurai: November 2005

Monday, November 28, 2005. Lest you think that all I care about is stuff like plastic knick knacks, novelty cars and different coloured trees, I thought it was about time I introduce some more people to you! The Sanda school team. They are a really great bunch! But I've never worked somewhere with such a high turnover. I guess that doesn't usually bode well! Oh well. 3 of the people in the picture will be gone as of the end of this year and 2 have started since I have! Yes, that's a pumpkin on my head...

Saturday, December 17, 2005. I got dumped on tonight! I got off the train and stepped out into a mini blizzard. Everything was white and so so silent. It looks like slow moving rain but there's no sound. Sorry to all you people from cold countries - "get over it, would you Ian! Resoko naka ni sunde imasu! I live inside a fridge.

Monday, February 27, 2006. Hi again. It's already a month since my last post, which was filled with things from a month before that! I won't say "the flu" ever again unless I am dying from influenza. well, not in Japan anyway. I can't wait to show them around and see some other parts of Japan with them. Also, my friends that I holidayed with in Gifu - Tom, Jen and Ruby are moving to Tokyo in a month! Congratulations on your new job, Jen! Posted by Ian at 12:44 AM. 0 slices of devon.

Last Spamurai: June 2006
http://lastspamurai.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 11, 2006. In a week's time! Kazuya-san (Dad) keeps plying me with drinks, too - he's pretty fond of it. apparently I don't drink much. They are a really nice family. I had a funny weekend a week ago, hitting the town in Osaka on a Saturday night for the first time! I'm too lame/timid to confront people - I guess I should have said something, but I just gave a very unimpressed response as he cracked himself up next to me. Better to shoot at him from the safety of my blog, huh? You come to thi...

Last Spamurai: March 2006

Saturday, March 25, 2006. Well, true to form, these shots are really outdated - from before Christmas! Sorry, I know they aren't photos of rotund, semi-nude men as promised, but I don't have time right now to sift through all the images, upload and format them etc. It's tempting, but I would be a very tired fool tomorrow if I started. Instead I've given you a couple of shots of. I thought I'd post these shots up now before they become any more redundant. It's become an annual public sculpture (? Restaura...

Saturday, July 22, 2006. Edition, part 2 (. That's mobile phone to you Aussies, cell phone to you Americans and handy phone to you English-speaking Japanese. where did that originate from! I made a mistake,. Watch it disappear photo, by photo. Oh, but first, this is just before Christmas. my Japanese class' Christmas party. with my buddy Justin cranking out Jingle Bell Rock. What a sport! We ate lunch looking out over the lake, watching distant snow and rain fall on the far mountains, and then I was pers...

Last Spamurai: October 2005
http://lastspamurai.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. It's interesting to see what the kids I teach are into. They bring little things into class - the usual. Type things hanging off their bags and mobiles. Mr. Must be fabulously wealthy. Often a kid will have 2 that are married to each other. Yes, married! You feed them, take them to the toilet, put them to bed, rear them and send them off to be married and reproduce. One girl has an eighth generation. They have more going on in their digital lives than I do. They were on a holida...
