Update!

Next update time! it's so exciting!

This week, there was the autumnal festival at 熊本城, Kumamoto Jyou, which is the castle here. i got some very cool pictures at night of the candles that they had out and had a blast at dinner and karaoke with some friends. Classes here carried on as usual, with a plus being that i joined the aikido club, making that the second one that i am in. next week, i hope to join the photography club. so many clubs! anyways, japan continues to be awesome and the other day, i bowled my personal best of 137 while out with friends!

Last weekend, i went to a festival of sorts at the castle, part of the autumnal festival where we met kumamon, the city mascot and i was on the news with another ryugakusei talking about it. we learned the kumamon dance as well. it was a lot of fun and i got to hear a japanese band play the final countdown. here is the kumamoto surprise song and dance that we did :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBBZop5j6D0&feature=mh_lolz&list=FL6tN1rLLJKdrtQpKnQODrGg

damn strait.

my ukulele playing is also getting better, it has gotten a lot easier to transfer between the chords in songs and i know most derivations of the major chords, which is exciting. also, i am almost done buying omiyage, souvenirs for people in america, which is exciting as well.

that does it for the update!

picture time!!
