why havent i been posting?

sorry for the delay in posting, after a night out in Kanazawa my camera took a bit hit, enough to smash the screen so havent been taking pictures recently. These are some surprise pictures to me as i took these without being able to see what i was taking a picture of. Things have been really busy here, finalizing traveling plans post JET, trying to get ready to leave, and dealing with a car on the verge of dying it seems, i have had to arrange a total of 14 flights that ill be taking over the next 7 weeks until i come back to San Diego. I have been teaching my final lessons to my great students at Uchi chu and spending time with friends before we all take off in 2 weeks. This is a big mix of pictures from 2 goodbye parties that ive been to so far, uchinada pictures, and the new camera. I probably wont be posting much but expect to see pictures when im settled back down in San Diego.

grilled shrimp heads, and only the heads, i had to eat this, at one of the going away parties, a critical part of japanese culture that i cannot leave japan without trying.

the rice fields are so green with the rainy season rain
