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

Another Post for Today!

Thought I should put up some of the photos that others have added of me on Facebook: I think I look about 10 years old in this one! Terrible photo of me! I never realised my hair colour was so light Welcoming Party...oh yes I love photos. Especially when they stand there for ages and I know it's about to happen. You're bound to get a lovely photo out of it. Pfft. The colour of my skin looks weird, and something is not quite right with my face! It's weird, I can't work it out... On a side note, 売買, pronounced baibai means buying and selling. Easy as! I'll have no trouble forgetting that one! Okay, back to study :D

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...

The Final Week...

Well it's not quite here!  My 'official' last week in Tasmania will be from next Monday.  In preparation I have made plans to make the most of my time in Hobart and the surrounding areas, and of course to spend time with Dede.  We're going to be doing more sight-seeing than we've done since living here! 13th Saturday: Get up early (preferably before 12; this is a struggle for us!  My body clock is still following our night-fill hours) and go to Salamanca Market.  From 8pm, 13 of us will be heading to The Quarry for dinner, then from 10pm we'll be joined by 20 - 30 others! 14th Sunday: Free day.  Most likely recovering from the previous night. 15th Monday: Zoodoo (Ridiculous name, but apparently there are tigers!  I doubt it is a proper, big zoo, but it's the best Tasmania has, I guess).  Apparently there are some mazes in the area, but it's a good place for Dede to practice his new found love.  Photography. 16th Tuesday:  Port Arthu...
