tanjoubi omedetou!

Well, after having a birthday in the US, it really makes me wish I wasn't here. There are so many party options in the good 'ol Nihon. Getting plastered in the largest city in the world is just one option. No designated driver is of course a bonus.

Lets not forget massage parlors, love hotels, girls bars, etc. I can't speak for the ladies, but all those ideas sound great.

The only problem is, how do I get back to Japan?? The JET program is always an option (you teach your native language in Japanese middle and high schools for a few years for low pay but a free place to live). But I'm not sure if you're allowed to stay in the country after your contract is up. Word on the street is that you can't just find another VISA sponsor, you get booted out. Anyone know if that's true or not?

Well, with any luck my next birthday post will not be in english...
