Soccer Day

One really great thing about coming to Japan as a JET is that we get an automatic social network. That is great for people that are really lazy about making friends. :) There are 50 of us, and of course we are not all automatic friends, but there are Prefectural Reps and natural leaders that put together large events.

(Thanks Shak for planning this soccer day!)

Here is a great pic of me totally making this shot! (I didn't make it, lol). BUT I did make the last shot of the last game. There were 4 or 5 teams, divided geographically. Our team was the "dirty South" since I'm in the South. yes.

So we did it tournament style, and I made the last shot of the last game. AND our team won the championship.

Here's our team: Ryan, Eric, Me, Steve, Chris Mack, and Kholo. Yeah, splitting us geographically will not happen on our next sports day, because (rightly so) everyone was complaining that 5/6 people of our team are crazy strong handsome sporty maniacs!

****Please let our next sports day be Volleyball!!!

P.S. If you get special permission to use a school-grounds in Japan on a weekend, please don't "moon" the other team out of spite. Hopefully we'll be allowed to use that field again! ;)
