This is Wally Nes reporting LIVE from my blog.

Welcome in these warm surroundings where I will be writing of my trip to japan and, as the subtitle suggests, beyond. These pages will contain records of my adventures, my screw-ups, my feelings and my general goings on. Some of it may not be at all interresting, but hé: That’s as much a part of life as the interresting parts. I will also be posting my pictures here which can also be reached by clicking on either of the two links on the right hand bar. Next to stories and pictures regarding my life in japan and (again) beyond, I will also be posting things about the grander scheme of things. These articles will provoke comments (I hope), but what should be taken into account is that they were written for the grander scheme of things, and not everything will fit in that article. Some holes of reasoning will be intentional, some not. Article coming up: “Why we need global mantatory Birth control”.

I’ll write down a few points of what exactly is going on:

• I’m going to japan for a year
• I’m going to be studying Japanese Language and Culture for the first 4 months
• I’m going to be doing my internship at Mitsubishi Electrical Corp. for the following 8 months on a subject I am contractually bound not to reveal (Wicked éh)
• My first 4 months will be spent in and around Tokyo
• My last 8 months will be spent in and around Kobe (Well, Sando City and Amagasaki City really, but Kobe is a lot easier to refer to)
• I’m going to try and see as much of this gorgeous country as possible in my free time
• I may try and see some other gorgeous country while I’m over on this side of the world
• I’m getting sponsored for this
• Free rent
• €15.000,-
• Life is tough. Isn’t it though

I’ve started my preparations for the trip ahead Done all the paperwork and even started packing. That combined with the goodbye party I’m throwing today makes my room look like:

Doesn’t it just look grand? And It’s still 4 weeks to go. Hehe, might’ve jumped the gun a bit.

As you browse through this site you may notice that it’s been active for quite a while now, and you may wonder why.

This is the reason

I’ve been dating Mayke for almost 5 months now and at the place we worked this is not officially allowed. Co-workers aren’t allowed to date. Well, far be it from me to be thwarted by rules, so I asked her out anyway, that was exactly 5 months ago today. Well I knew the boss wouldn’t mind too much, and we didn’t work similar hours anyway so I didn’t think it’d be that big of a deal. But if you guys knew, you’d talk about it, and if you talked about it it’d be overheard and steps would have to be taken etc etc etc. Hence, you didn’t know. But Coby did, so it was alright.

I’ve mentioned her quite a few times in this blog and to avoid you all (meaning other coworkers) finding out you’ve not been given this ip. But it was great fun playing hide and seek with this thing

This is Wally Nes, signing off

Some practical notes: Still working on the appearance of this weblog, going to insert a relevant picture somewhere and stuff like that. And I may revert back to having you all register for comments, this is a slight hassle but I’ve removed 20 spam messaged from bots over the last 2 days and that’s just not something I want to deal with on such a big scale.
