Training done and dusted, JPK formed
Well It's the day after I returned from Coll after a great week training, learned many valuable things about my particular project at the Junten high school in Oji (a town on the outskirts of Tokyo).
I also met the other guys going to Japan, Craig (on the left with the kilt) and Tom (next to Craig) are both off to the Toya project in Hokkaido. Ben (the furthermost right) is my partner (sounds weird saying that) and of course we are off to Tokyo.
Together we are the 'Japanese Kru' (JPK), seriously though I couldn't have wished for a nicer group of guys, I get on well with all of them and I am looking forward to spending a year with Ben.
Amy is in the middle she is our Desk Officer, she is the one who looks after us overseas and sorts serious problems out. She is so nice, really approachable and can hold a funny conversation.
Everyone I met at Project Trust (including staff) were lovely and just made me want to get to going to Japan faster. We leave for Tokyo Narita on the 7th of September.
I think i have gone on enough for one post, for more photos visit the photos link at the top of this page.
In summary training was great but I can sense that this next year will be a lot better.
I am starting to realise that this is going to be much more than a gap year...
