Hello all, had a very busy week at school doing training activities and trying to sort my classroom the way I want so am very grateful the weekend is here. Had a slight incident earlier in the week when IKEA (they get everywhere - just need to find Primark now!) came to deliver the furniture I'd ordered. I have a video entry system into my apartment building and, lets just say, I haven't quite worked out how to use it yet as all the buttons are in Japanese (naturally) so when I saw the IKEA men appear on the screen I didn't know which button to press and when I did press one it started to make a siren sound (aaggghh!) I managed to make it stop and ran down to reception to let them in. They were very polite, lugged all my furniture up the three floors to my apartment and left with a bow. I then went upstairs to help Andy - who also lives in my building - with his stuff and when I came back down 2 minutes later there was a police man outside my door! The siren button is linked to the police station and he had come to see if I was ok! I was very apologetic and managed to convey to him that it was a "mis-take" nevertheles he took my name and I will probably be appearing on the top 5 nuisances in Japan very soon! Nice to know I'm safe though.
