5月の始めには妻と京都を訪れお寺、神社、お城等の探索に時間を費やしました。
お寺が何世紀もかけてよく管理されていることに感銘を受けました。お寺その物だけでなく、汚れひとつ無い庭園も同様です。
練習は激しく今まで自分がやってきた練習とは違いますが、とても楽しんでいます。
全ての選手達が私をやさしく迎えてくれていると思います。
10月から始まる大会ではチームは大きなインパクトを与える事でしょう。ビッグブルーの成功的な年を楽しみにしています。
G'day, my name is Josh. I have recently moved from Sydney, Australia, with
my wife Gina.
We have now been in Japan for 2 months. We both love where we are living and have settled in nicely.
We have been able to enjoy many of the sights of Tokyo with the assistance of a few of the players.
Sakuta san took us to Asukusa on a very busy festival day in April.
We then took a ferry ride across to Odaiba which was very nice. We finished of the hard day of sightseeing with dinner at tsukishima (?spelling) where we enjoyed japanese style pizza, which was very enjoyable.
In early May my wife and I travelled to Kyoto and spent time exploring some of the many temples, shrines and castles the city has to offer.
We appreciated the way that the temples have been looked after so well over the centuries. Not only the temple itself, but how immaculate the gardens are.
Although training is intense and a little different to that in which I amused to, I am enjoying it very much.
I feel that all the players have welcomed me kindly and enjoy the mateship that is displayed within the team.
I feel that the team will have a big impact on the competition come roundone in October.
I look forward to a successful year with the Big Blues.
