hail! phone still not working. don’t suppose you can call them dod and be a bit shirty as i told them i was going to japan when i accepted that contract and by all accounts on the website it should be working.

did al condescend to impart any useful tips? 🙂

will blog soon

i tried that. i got a mail from them saying the lifted some restriction or something and it should work in a couple of days.

alls well here. the area i am in is a lot quieter than i expected for tokyo but very nice. going to explore a bit more of the city on the morrow

it seems my mobile should work as other people on o2 are fine. i have sent them an email, but if that doesn’t work perhaps you could call them dod? its bitterly cold today. possibly it might snow. pottered around asakusa (the bit of tokyo i am in) saw a bunch of touristy stuff and a massive market. might visit a bit more of the city tomorrow.

indeed! but actually it was blackthorne. just got back from a hostelry where i met many a fine fellow. hopefully i shall sleep this eve and gain an upper hand over the jetlag. general concesus by the many headed at the bar i was at is that teaching english was a doddle and the entire “getting a job” part was a mere formality.

anyway must have a snooze. bye

ahoy!

it seems my phone does not work so i wont be texting till i get a new phone. bit disappointing.

just got to my hostel in northern tokyo, seems ok so far. everyone seems jolly friendly. not sure how long i will stay in tokyo before heading onwards to yokohama.

flight was mildly hellish. not much sleep to be had so i am feeling a tad shattered.

right will blog later

that is deeply repulsive, yet highly entertaining!
