I am sure that from the title of this blog, some of the readers can make an educated guess at what the latest news from us is. Yup - Shawn has a job in Sapporo as a snowmobile guide. He went for an interview today and charmed the pants off the Japanese owner. The company is called Snowmobile Land Sapporo.
I don't think that Shawn anticipated having a job so soon, but this will be more like play time than a job for him. We met a Canadian english teacher at our favorite pub a couple of weeks ago who had been a snowmobile guide last year. We got out our notebooks and squeezed every bit of information that we could from the guy in case we never ran into him again (and so far we haven't). From there Shawn started searching companies online and sending emails. After the last big snowfall, he made the public transit trek across town to Snowmobile Land Sapporo and walked in and told them that he wanted a job and was ready to work. The owner was a bit reluctant to hire another foreigner (there apparently have been problems in the past) but we, like the owner, have all been a victim of Shawn's amazing charisma and there he is now - working in Japan.
We will post more details as they materialize. Anyone interested in a snowmobile excursion to Japan??? I know a really cool English speaking tour guide!
