An Air of Uncertainty is Looming...

So it's been about 3 months since I got here to Japan, and time has totally flown! Not unlike the psycho jets at the US army base in my city. So anyways, I'm off probation now at work which is supersexy, despite the fact that I am "generating an air of uncertainty amongst the Japanese staff" due to me coming to work consistently within 10 minutes of the time I start. I was like, "well if I get here at that time everyday, how are they uncertain about whether I'll be here or not?" Given that Japan is so on-time with everything I don't want to startle the precious flowers by getting to work too early, right? Also I'm considering a relocation to somewhere more fantastic. At work we have to teach a class called "voice" which is essentially a room of students and 1 teacher and you just talk shit. It makes you feel like a whore though. So with my plans to transfer in mind I took it upon myself to use a voice class today to get them to rate 8 major cities (or potential new homes) using a system of 5 stars on the following categories: beautiful(ness), weather, public transport, food, interesting(ness), amount of snow, green(ness), relaxing(ness), safe(ness). Little did they know that their precious voice-yen was being used to aid the relocation of my modern life. And the place to be apparently is Kyoto. Osaka would also be good, but unfortunately it only gets 1 out 5 stars for safe(ness). I'll talk to my kinder class about it too, although I'm pretty sure the only thing they would say is "gorgeous" since it is the only word I have taught them. As a result it is the only word they respond to as praise. Unless I say it's gorgeous they think it sucks. Subsequently all I hear is "Sensei mitte. Dekitta. Gorgeous desu ka." Which means, "Teacher look, I'm finished. Is it gorgeous?" Yes. Yes it is gorgeous.
