Transform to Tokyo

From Hexham to Toyko

Blog start! Sorry for the delay!

Burogu o hajimemasu!!! Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my sixth day in Japan, but at the moment I am very very busy, so I have not had time to post anything here yet but do not fear, once I am settled in properly I will do an entire back catalogue of the ups, downs and completely confusing moments so far.

Before this blog even starts proper, I would like to thank all of my sponsors because without you I wouldnt not have even been able to get here and experience these things. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading my blog and I apoligise at the lateness of this post. I would especially like to thank:

The 1989 Willan Charitable Trust

The Readman Foundation

The Henry Bell Trust

The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundatio

The English Speaking Union

The Rothley Trust

Thank you all for your kind support. I hope everyone who comes across this blog enjoys reading it, please, just give me some time to start it up! Thanks again.

Ben

  1. Hey Ben!

    Glad you got to Japan safe! What’s your apartment like? Do you have a Kotatsu? Every Japanese apartment needs a good kotatsu!

    ‘Spoons just isn’t the same without you. With Cara at Uni now there is only me and Ash left in the ‘Spoons Crew.

    I look forward to hearing all about your adventures!

  4. Ben! You need to post more, man. We’re all off to uni soon, so we need to know more details of your exciting adventures in Japan.

    I say we’re all off soon… most people have already gone, i’m just hanging about until this weekend.

    Anyway! Post more, biatch! I don’t have this page bookmarked for nothing, you know!

    Tom.

I dont under the Kotatsu thing, coz i dnt know wht one is… wait as im tlkin 2 you online i can just ask you… oh and im a sort of stand in for you on some of the ’spoons crew’ nights, but apparently i dont come anywhere near replacing you/being up to your standards… but i suppose thats understandable…
