... life before. That's only human. That's why there's pictures of my family and friends all over my room, that's why I rat-pack every memorable item (worse than my mother) for every event or special occasion, that's why I find myself craving a weekend out in the city, whether for drinks or gigs. But then once in awhile I'm reminded by just how different things are out here, and why that's not such a bad thing. Like a fish out of water, I keep trying to ...

... myself to (Myoujin), he said the word onsen and I thought "why the hell not?".<br>This time, no bandage, but just my trusted long-hand-towel. I drape it, and it seems discreet enough. In fact, it was almost empty this time. I only saw two men in it at any time, and most of the evening I had the whole onsen to myself. It was amazing, and I'm falling asleep as I write this entry.<br><br>Again, there's no pictures (common, I'm not THAT perverted), but I ...

... Now just to make it harder, I'm going to stick rivers, mountains, trees, and piles of dirt between you and the hole. OH, and did I mention, that you'll have to wack at this wee ball with a wee stick? Har har har" and all that jazz. The point is, it's fun because it's a pointless challenge. Back in the days before telegrams or camel-riding, some poor sucker who was quicker on his feet than others had to deliver messages, well ...

... that because she was drunk. I mentioned how I liked strawberries and then Tencho was like oh we have strawberries so I had those as well and then a banana and even chocolate (and yes this was at about 5:30 in the morning). Talk about good hospitality. Tencho had this really really cool toy it was literally a pet dinosaur. But you pet it and it was like it was alive. It was so cute! it would even make the kissing sound if you touched its ...

... class. We got there and did one round of itsy-bitsy spider, and then class was over. Talk about a waste of time...so I went home and then went out to Nagoya. I met up with John and we had onigiri for lunch and I tried this mango-apple juice. It was yummy! We were watching the tv and talking, when all of a sudden I realized what drama was on. I actually understood it! hahaha ...

... umbrella and tried riding my bike but eventually just gave up and rode my bike and got soaked. I had Yamaguchi's class first. OMG it was so much fun! We started watching this movie called Ponpoko (A Studio Ghibli movie) . It was about raccoons trying to save their forest from the humans. Very cute and very funny! Nishio's class was well, typical. I tried, I really did! Now I actually have to do reading because we have a 2-3 page essay to do for his class by the end of this month ...

So I was able to make it to the Sword Ceremony after all, it doesn't mean I was feeling better but I figured I just couldn't miss it. The ceremony itself was alright, couldn't see too much but I don't know what I was really expecting. After the sword ceremony we went and looked at the special exhibitions they had, which was kind of cool I suppose but swords really aren't my thing. We went to an art museum afterwards and the coolest part of that was being able to make our own prints ...

... and we went through the translation of Homeless Chuu Gakusei. Aftere that, Yamaguchi took us to the Iwa Tengu Shrine and this other really cool temple, unfortunately, that is also the day I forgot my camera. So no pictures from those adventures. Yamaguchi then treated us to pancakes and I also had a pretty decent hot chocolate. After that I went with Emily to meet Megumi and first we took sticker pictures and then went to Maharaja ...
