My car!!

As I live in a small village, and have almost no public transport..... I went out and bought my very first car 2 weeks ago!

Although I'm going to be paying it off for the next few years... I got a really good deal, as I bought it from my brothers friend for the amount left owing on it... way below the market price!

And I even found a bank that would give me the loan to buy it! Can you believe it!??

Back on the horse

My baby, Marcello

Saddling up...

And straight back in to training (I couldn't walk for a couple of days after this!!)

Home in Australia

After 2 days without sleep, I arrived at Sydney airport (at 6am) where my Kagoshima little brother, Fumi, had come to welcome me home!

3 hours later Silas arrived and we showed him a little bit of Sydney

Leaving Japan

These are some photos from my farewell parties and dinners.
I am so grateful to all my Kagoshima friends for watching out for me and being there for me while I was in Japan.

I miss our nomikais- Onoya, Bodega (jejeje) but especially Sunkus and Family Mart (Toto's office).

Thinking about all the things I miss from Japan, there's so many actually, but almost all of them are to do with the people I left behind... As much as I never thought I would say it so soon......

I wanna go back to Japan!!

(just to visit of course...jejeje)

Playing extreme jenga at Big Ben (Rocio, Toto and Ramon)

My 2 best Kaikan girls- Julia and Rocio :)

Ryo-chan, there is no-one on earth who could meet this guy and NOT fall in love with him.

Anderson, we can all agree, is one of the hottest guys in Kagoshima... :D

Leaving Japan...

Do not enter (age restriction 20+) Rocio at Sunkus...

Our last Sunkus nomikai... =(

Julia just discovered what the elephant is really for...

Rocio is a little more traditional.

But at least they can agree on something =)
