The Tshirt Guy 6 - A hiatus explained

Those of you who follow this blog may have been wondering whta happened to the Tshirt Guy. I must say that I have found his lack of output lately quite puzzling.

However, it has come to my attention that he has in fact been moonlighting in the hat industry. I spotted this on the desk of another teacher the other day and all became clear.

Japan has a large number of NPOs and volunteer organisations. It is fairly routine for these to give out free pieces of protective or weather-proof clothing should such be necessary for the tasks encomapssed in the workings of the organisation. These often manifest themselves as dayglo jackets with NPO names on the back of them. This one NPO devoted to public sanitation has decided to try and atract young helpers by comissioning a hat from the Tshirt Guy. Here it is:


Note the warning and the icon. Pure genius!

Over half-way to re-entry now (190, I think), but more importantly it is just a few weeks until the boarding season starts. And I still have all my, ahem, sick days left!

Life in Japan - ever wondered why the sun is red on the Japanese flag?

That's why - sometimes it really is red. Another minute earlier on the scene and I would have nailed this shot without the clouds obscuring the sun.

The backend of no-where

Not much time to write anything recently, but here are some photos for you to peruse at your leisure. There are rather a lot of them.

This is my FLickr photo page here.

You can also see them as a slideshow here.

Enjoy!
