Osu Kannon

Yesterday I went to Osu Kannon (a temple) with Natalia.



My breakfast. Don`t eat Japanese oranges. I swear, they smell like lemons and just taste really bitter and horrible. I could only eat one piece :( Was so looking forward to it too...



A tiny car parked next to Osu Kannon!









The pigeons attacked quite a few people as I was walking past, looking for food.


I don`t really feel like writing anything else. Sorry everyone, maybe I`ll update this post when I`m feeling a little better.

EDIT: I`m feeling awesome today, hehe. Okay, more about Osu Kannon. It`s not the best temple I`ve been to, but I think if it were someone`s first time, they would be pretty amazed by the whole structure.
The shopping in the area is really good too. I found a shop that sells second hand kimono with prices mostly around 3000 - 5000 yen, which is incredibly cheap. I found a beautiful pink kimono for 3,600 yen, and it was pure silk. It would`ve looked so good with hakama, but I`m going to wait until Christmas time or something until I actually get one.
I had a sandwich for lunch, chicken and honey mustard and salad. They don`t make sandwiches and rolls like in Australia/New Zealand. The fillings are a little scant (is that the word?), I would`ve liked more salad. Still, it was very nice.
That night I was going to go with friends to the Hilton Nagoya for unlimited cocktails from 6.oopm - 9.00pm, but wasn`t feeling too happy, which is also why I didn`t write much about Osu Kannon the other day.
I`m great now though hehe! xxx

君がいなくなると、寂しくなる

The last time I went to Japan, I was really home-sick.  Recently I realised that I never really comprehended that I would actually have to leave .  It was quite silly really, now that I think about it.  However it's easy to do. The original plan this time around was for me to get a job, go over, and D would follow in about a month.  Things changed, and now he's decided to go over three months later.  Initally it was no problem, but now that the time for me to depart is getting closer and closer, once again I'm in the same situation.  Only this time, I'm going to be really alone.  No other exchange students who are in the same situation.  Everyday I think about how awesome and hard this is going to be.  But I know I'm going to a really lovely place, I'm going to be making new friends and my Japanese is going to be awesome...eventually! Plus there's Skype.  And until he gets there I'll keep myself busy and in contact, and time will fl...

Sugiyama Jogakuen Welcoming Party

...it was not a `party`. Today was rainy :( I still haven`t bought myself an umbrella. So when we left, I took one out of the stand. I hoped that whoever owned it wouldn`t be wanting to go out. I`ve noticed Japanese rain is remarkably different to when it rains in Tasmania. In Tasmania, the winds blow, so it`s impossible to use an umbrella anyway. It Japan there is very little, so the rain falls straight down. I actually prefer Tasmanian rain. You`ll hear why later. Sugiyama`s Sunday bus...I guess they don`t expect many people to be going to University. I couldn`t believe how much space there was! So, at 9.20am we arrived at Sugiyama, and I jumped immediately onto the computers. Still no news. There has been no news for a few days now, which is extremely disappointing. When there`s no news, it makes me feel isolated. Once inside CIEP (Center for International Exchange Programs) we became aware that today was going to begin on a formal note. In one of the classroom...

Old Photos - Nagoya Castle, Purikura

I have some semi-old photos I`d like to share which would belong in other posts, but you all might miss them if I put them there. So here they are! Starting with the day we spent with Asami and Yuuko (I took the photos directly from Facebook, so I haven`t been able to make some of them clearer in Photoshop or do any croppping. Sorry!): Oh I did something different for once! The view from my window at night. Left is a 24 hour internet cafe; handy if I ever happen to get locked out after curfew! Top right is apartments I think, and bottom right is a train going past. I never notice them because I`m always so tired. I don`t even remember where this was taken...it must`ve been the second day here because my hair isn`t straight. I think I`m a bit fed up (of some thing ) already. Nagoya Castle: Yes I am in this picture... Hehe it`s me Really, really yummy ramen with lots of vegetables from last night. I al...
