Hello everyone, this is Julie writing. We've come to the end of our adventure, Booo hooo sob sob! It's been a great year and we've done more than we thought we'd do. Here are some final photos of scorching hot Tokyo (36 degrees this week!). For our last weekend we went to Tokyo Dome to get some rollercoaster action, and we were not disappointed, it was fantastic! We screamed our heads off. I also managed to have tea with a Moomin, which is another life long ambition accomplished. More shopping, sightseeing and a little Karaoke. It will be very sad to leave, everyday we have to say goodbye to our favourite students, but we can't wait to get back and see you all.






As the sun sets on Tokyo and on our trip, we're as busy planning to go home as we were when we left! So I haven't had time to look back and unfortunately don't have time to summarise it all into some poetic blog entry other than to remember one of my favourite lessons in Japan, teaching a low level student, whose reason for learning English was to be able to sing Amazing Grace in English, and of course, we finished the lesson with a memorable rendition.

Thanks for all the comments, see you all next week...

Tis grace has brought us safe this far

and Grace will lead us home
