Sorry Michelle...but NO RENT...NO STAY!!!

Another one bites the dust...

Looky looky who I found behind the couch! And off the balcony he went!

I got my gaijin (alien registration) card today...so now I can officially do stupid stuff and, when I'm questioned about it, shrug my shoulder and whip out proof of my foreignerness! O Joy!

Tomorrow is Fukuoka Orientation...I'm so excited to meet the rest of the people who are "working" in my prefecture! Saturday (and Sunday but i'm only going on Sat.) is Isla De Salsa...Sponsored by Tiempo Iberoamericano, an organization promoting exchange between Japan and Ibero-America, Isla de Salsa is Japan's largest Latin festival. Now in its seventh year, the festival invites Latin musicians both local and world-famous. There is also a Latin dance show and contest, ethnic food stalls, and art displays. As the event is held by the beach on Nokonoshima, clothing requirements are minimal...I will however be wearing linen pants because I don't care to merengue with mosquitoes!!!

By the way...

-This is "weekend" hair...

-I think this photo makes me an honorary Hawaiian... hmmm?

-That tea cup in front of me (behind the beer bottles) is my drink... Hakuna Matata Mommy!

They look fun and that Isla de Salsa thing sounds fun! :-( Sorry you missed maybe you won't be hit with a typhoon again for a couple of days. Unlike us cause it's been raining cats and dogs everyday.
