So guys, next wk is already mid-break. Somehow, time seriously FLIES BY HERE. I guess times goes by really fast when life is easy and happy. Of course, we have homework and tests, but we are also having quite a lot of fun daily. I don't know, at least I do. It's kinda sad that it's already mid-break next wk.
well, light emailed us again, two questions 1. where have we visited and another question that I don't have an answer for, b/c nothing is too hard here, thank god. (ok, maybe besides speaking Japanese, but that's not a problem for me, I just talked, talked, and talked, I have no shame w/ my bad accent. I swear all that talking burned off quite some calories. Kinda bad, I know.) But anyways, I have gotta tell you guys the amazing noto trip that we went on the past weekend. It WAS UNBELIEVABLY FUN. I don't even know how to describe it, we went to the best and very expensive hotel, ate some very very good food, bonded w/ other PII fellows. I also entered an onsen (yeah, naked...ha, didn't thought i would do that. but then again, everyone else was too, so...) But the onsen experience was very interesting. Didn't thought I would be able to do that, but I did and I had fun. So for the future PII fellows, definitely do it, it's really fun and worth entering the onsen naked. But anyways, we also gotta wear yukata, and it was my first time. Woooo, it was sooo fun~haha. Besides that, we also went to tons of other places, saw a lot of sea, some rice field, some otera (what's the english name for it? I forgot, it's a place w/ all different kinds of god and stuff...) But anyways, I was so happy to see the sea and stuff, I guess I was quite hyper the entire time.
Oh, the night at the expensive hotel was amazing, first we got to wear yukata and looked pretty, and then we got to eat this amazing (I don't even know how many courses) meal. Wow, really amazing, but since I was wearing yukata, I couldn't eat that much b/c it was kinda tight. Oh, there were even performances during the meal. Seriously, I wonder how much they pay for this?!?? and then we even got to dance w/ the dancers and witnessed first-hand how they make fresh mochi and then ate the ones that were just made. AMAZING. wow, words cannot describe that good feeling. Later that night, we went to a fellow's room and had a little party and I got to know those people better, which I am glad. Well, we are going to Kyoto together for mid-break again next wk, I am quite excited. We ten people booked the same hostel, 5 people in a room in two rooms.
The next day, we saw more sea and stuff.
anyways, this week, we also visited Kanazawa college and made some Japanese friends, which is quite nice. They were all so nice, and I am glad that they understood my Japanese fine, thank god. But anyways, so now is friday and we went out for Karaoke tonight, a group of American students and three other Japanese friends. Well, it ended up fine. I hope they had fun, well, I had fun. Before the Karaoke, we went to eat okoniyaki and talked about North Korea, haha, interesting. Of course, in english. But before that, we went to game center and played some games, it was fun. I don't know, I have been having fun w/ these PII people, it's quite amazing. This program is very well planned. PII always plan some activities for you in the afternoon, it's interesting. For some strange reason, I think I talk more here in Japan than in America, I didn't know I was so talkative before.
I haven't found anything that's unexpectedly hard, at least not yet, maybe when I got to Kyoto and get lost, I will write about that experience. But let's hope that that doesn't happen.
Oh, there are tons of pictures that I took, but I've posted quite a lot of them on facebook. So I will just upload 2 here.
ok, till next time w/ more stories?
Time DOES fly! Enjoy each day. =)
