Busy days coming up

Starting a new job far from my current address of course means that I have to move to Kuchan. I'm not going to spend 8 hours a day commuting, that's for sure.

Had a quick look on the internet yesterday, but unfortunately not a lot of information about real estate for rent was available. However, my mother in law made some quick calls and as a result we're going to check out some places on Sunday. Hopefully we find something nice so we can start preparations for the big move.
I'll be living in Kuchan by myself for a short while since Kazumi cannot quit her current job before the end of July. Not looking forward to being alone by myself again, but I'll hang in there. After all it's only for a short while.

It's hot out here.

Haven't posted a lot recently (or should I say not at all). This is because life is just going on slowly without any special events. Just the daily routine of preparing lessons for the English conversation classes, go out for grocery shopping, prepare food, cleaning, ...

And of course also try to find a more steady job. I actually have a meeting with a company on Saturday. The company is called "West Canada Homes" and it's based in Niseko. Let's hope I can land a position with this company.

As you probably could have guessed by reading the title, it's very hot in Asahikawa at the moment. The temperature rises to approximately 30 degrees celcius every day. And it's not only the temperature, but also the humidity that contributes to a not so comfortable feeling.

Here's a site with frequent updates for those curious about the weather in Asahikawa.

Job Hunt

Last week I was contacted by a person from Huckleberry English School (after sending out several letters to many different schools to apply for a job). They are looking for an English teacher in Asahikawa. After meeting with this person from Huckleberry it became clear to me that it is not really a school, but a company that introduces students to teachers for a fee (much like the website findateacher.net). After consulting with Kazumi I decided to take the offer. Today I'll meet up with my first prospective student. Let's hope it works out well.

edit: Things worked out well. Starting next week I'll be teaching English to my first student. Let's hope many more will follow.
