April 9th marks exactly six months to the day that I stepped foot onto Japan soil. Hot damn, where has the time gone? I was eyeing this graduate school that is run entirely in English here. It’s a one year program and looks pretty cool. Downside: 3,600,000 yen for the program plus living expenses, books, accomodation, etc. The tuition itself is almost $50,000 CDN. A little too much for my blue collar butt. I’ll wait till later I guess but I think I’ve decided to study in another country, be it Japan or Jamaica or something.
And today’s big bargain: 5 bananas for 38 yen (about 50 cents) - that’s dirt cheap!!! Bananas are sold by the bunch here instead of by pound or kilo. The price I paid before was usually 100 yen to the bunch. I’ve done and saved meeself a smart 62 yen… Cletus! You’re going to college!
