So, what has happened since I lasted posted in July? I had a nice low key summer holiday: enjoying Australia in the winter, visiting Noosa, Melbourne and Sydney with most of my time being in Adelaide with family, and it was great to catch up with a number of good friends as well.
The school year has started well and the 13 new staff have added a good vibe and there is a real positive atmosphere around the campus - possibly a testament to our hard work!! We, however, have also begun the process of looking for a new Head of School, so that will add a new dimension for next year.
As usual, there has been quite a bit of fun amongst the work, with traditional summer festivals, trips to the nearby mountains and beaches, plus a weekend in Matsuomoto, in the mountains, where Mihoko and I enjoyed the craft beer festival in front of the castle and visiting a wasabi farm. I even went to the Mariah Carey concert! Who would have thought?!
Fall Break was spent in Malaysia with a few days of relaxation in Melaka where we enjoyed the fusion of the different cultural influences over time and then we headed back to Kuala Lumpur for a conference. Naturally, it was very stimulating from a professional standpoint but also a good chance to catch up with friends from the region.
