Day 88: Fire Festival!

Hey ho, would you look at that! I went out and did something! 😉

Saturday and Sunday was the Hakone Fire Festival. Hiroko said it’s really famous and popular and that since I was here for summer I should go!

Before the burning, this is what it looks like. Also, my camera zoom is amazing. Super amazing.

And lucky me one of the families I teach had never been either so off we all went to Hakone. It’s about an hour and bit away from where I currently live but it was still an entertaining trip there. The older of the two girls was constantly falling asleep on my shoulder haha.

But there were so many food stalls! Candy Apple, chocolate/and other flavours for bananas, cotton candy, takoyaki, yakisoba, okonomiyaki, beer etc. So much food.

We found a good spot to watch the burning and fire works but not necessarily the concert aspect but everything was still fun. Once lights went out the bugs were everywhere. GROSS.

Also please note: I have drunk more beer in Japan for the past 3 months than I have my entire drinking span of Canada. I don’t know why but I have.

Yebisu beer! Finally! I didn’t get to drink it at the museum but the dad went to the market and bought it for student T and I. And it was good. I think it beats the Sapporo beer. . . But I must have further taste testings to prove this.

But finally after waiting patiently they finally lit it on fire!

IMG_0345

They did all sorts of cool things with it and the fireworks too! They made it look like it was raining on the fire with light and it was just really cool!

And after that we rushed for the trains which were a gong show.

All and all, twas an excellent day! I’m glad I got to see it!

Day 86: Obon Week!

HAHAHA. I am getting so bad at updating. But I don’t know what to post on here. Maybe I should do some research and see what I should be posting. . .

MINUS THE APARTMENT POST. I am getting there I swear. Hopefully tomorrow they’ll be up. My apartment should be clean because I’ll have company here for the next couple weeks. So hehehe. I’m slow forgive me.

So this week was the Neverland Summer Holiday. We were suppose to have this whole week off but Hiroko ended up by teaching most of Monday (and I taught for an hour) and then I taught a lesson today and I have another tomorrow. And then I get to announce the tests on Monday. Whee. I am little nervous about that. Hopefully all will go well. And then summer semester will be over at the end of August. Dang :<

So a couple weeks ago Hiroko, Yuta, Student M and I went into Yokohama for the day. We were delayed 2 hours because of a really bad car accident that happened. So basically in the car Yuta was playing anime music and I kept telling him to look up the English versions. HAHAHA. His face. Yeah I know Yuta, it’s bad in North America. That’s why I watch everything in Japanese hehe.

But Yokohama was so stupidly hot. It was 35 with like 70% humidity. INSANE.We went to the Zoo but a lot of animals weren’t really out and about (not that I could blame them poor things). The poor red panda we saw was just panting and panting. :< So we all quickly ate lunch and then off to the skating rink! I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS. I miss skating so much.

HOWEVER. When we got there the rink was in use by a hockey team ;0; So no skating for Amber. I WAS HEARTBROKEN.

Well quickly after that we went to the Ramen Museum. This is different from the Cup Noodle museum in Yokohama. There’s a mini village of old time Japan and just Ramen shops galore. However since we were still full from lunch we didn’t eat there. The Museum was really cool to see. There was also a comedian duo performing and they were cool to watch! Then we drove to Terrace Mall AND OH LORD. It’s massive! D: Like Japanese malls put our little one to so much shame. >.> And we ate a fancier restaurant (I thought. There was all you can eat bread but like lots of different bread types. I think I liked that more than my actual meal haha). After that, it was back to Hadano!

So after that I was busy busy busy with lessons.

Then on Tuesday (Aug. 11) Hiroko and Taisuke went to Ebina for a movie and Hiroko asked if I wanted to go. So I said sure and went with Hiroko to meet Tai! I didn’t go to the movie (it was a French Movie with Japanese subtitles. Both of which I am not fluent in the way of speaking or reading :P) So I just putzed around the area and waited for them to finish up. I had a really good Peach Frapp (NO MILK YAY!) from Starbucks and I bought a really cute headband and earrings. I need to start buying more headbands. I I just want my hair out of my face. I might try to grow out my bangs. . . we’ll see how that goes anyways. No promises. Anyways. We did some shopping and I bought the most amazing book. I am going to try and find some more copies because I think some people at home would really like it. (Don’t worry it’s in Japanese AND English. heheh hence why I bought it!)

IMG_5454

Seriously this book is amazing. It made my cry. Also HUSKIES AND POLAR BEARS BEING FRIENDS? SIGN ME UP.

IMG_5455

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
ははははははははははははははは

The next day we went to a mall in Odawara for Baba’s Birthday! We all went shopping and Baba and I bought new clothes (yes surprise surprise I bought new clothes. . .again. I know. ) So once we were finished shopping we went for supper at an Italian Restaurant. No, I didn’t have pasta. 😛 But we shared the weirdest caesar salad I have ever seen. Like the lettuce wasn’t chopped. It was full leaves with the sauce on it and croutons. I mean, weird in the fact that it was not like the salads back home. O_o But we all split that and a pizza and I had chicken. So after that then, we all went home.

IMG_5456

And thus far I have spent my break roasting in this heat. I can’t wait for fall. Or winter. Hadano’s cold is like 0 to -1 (celsius) as it’s coldest temperature. AHAHA. Bring it. I am so ready to wear pants and sweaters. I didn’t bring a jacket out here whoops. I hope that won’t bite me in the butt out here.

Anyways that’s all I have for now. For pictures you can always check out Facebook.

I will upload the apartment pics. . .I will, I will, I will.

(PS if you guys want I am pretty good about updating Instagram with fun photos. Look for abner_ski if you wanna check them out!)

SO HOT.

Oh lord. Kwan warned me about the fact that I’d probably be takin multiple showers in a day. SHE WASN’T LYING. It’s been so hot and we still haven’t even hit August (where it gets worse apparently??). SUMMER YOU EVIL HOT THING. Humidity makes things even worse here too. SO UNREAL. I have a heat rash all over my thighs and even my arms. And I didn’t think it was heat rash till I tried to pop the trail on my arms. X_X Kids please note: DO NOT POP HEAT RASH BUMPS. That hurts as bad as the rash itself.

So yeah. Fall you can come now, I’m done with summer. =_=

Hmm last night (Sunday) Hiroko asked me to transcribe a video so that she would have an easier time translating it. And that took me a while to do. Holy cow you think it’s going to be a breeze but a 20 minute video took me like close to 2 hours to do. WOW WOW WOW. And we were suppose to go to Ebina for dinner but instead we stayed in Hadano. We went a Korean BBQ like place. Yuta and Hiroko basically cooked everything hehe. I tried shellfish (I dunno what it was, but it was in a pretty shell) but I wasn’t a huge fan of it. I am not destined to like all fish out here it would seem. But the meal was really good! And then we were going to for ice cream/gelato but the place was closed so we went to this adorable bakery. My cake was an apple custard something-or-other. I have no clue. It was tasty though ha! And Tai picked out these seashell shaped sweets. THEY TASTED LIKE LUCKY CHARMS MARSHMALLOWS. I want to go get some more.

I’ve also begun the transition into Kwan’s room today. She has a whole closet with hanging room which is better for my clothes. And a bookshelf for my other stuff so I can pretend I’m somewhat organized. Somewhat.

Also I need to really start cracking down on my studying here. Maybe I’ll make Tuesday’s my study day. .  .I feel bad because the kids go on and on in Japanese and then they’ll ask me something I can only go EH? I don’t know sorry.

Summer affects some of these kids different too. The young ones? So hyper and active and listening become hard for them (oiiiyyyy) and then my older kids are all tired and sleepy. So it’s been different to say the least.

Also I’ve been trying to start prepping tests for the kids. I’ve started the oral  test portion but the written is going to get me a little stumped I think.

Anyways. I think tomorrow I have to go to Odawara so I can venture for stickers for the boys and new ones for the girls. Boys are so hard to get stickers for but I will not fail in this task! I will go find some weird stickers. Maybe treat myself to some Taiyaki and Takoyaki tomorrow to. . .HMMM. What to do. . . .

Anywho just thought I’d put this update here quickly before bed. Or before Dragon Age/Sim time. HEAT RASH. HURTS. Can’t sleep. ;0;

He he.

こばんわみんなさん!おげんきですか?

Okay okay. Sorry. I’m trying to practice my Japanese. I have been BARELY getting by with my English. I wish there was a way to magically imprint your brain with languages cause that would be cool. I’d be out of a job but IT WOULD BE SERIOUSLY SUPER HELPFUL.

Anywho. Summer time has arrived! With typhoon season here I get to enjoy heavy rainfall then right back to humid hot grossness bleh. But I’m hoping September will bring coolness and relief.

I also thought that I really wanted to fast forward through summer as well. I don’t like it hot and being in a humid place can really bring you down. However, I did see a really great part of summer today and that the festivals! 😀

Hiroko said that there is pretty much a festival everywhere every weekend which is really cool! So today Hiroko dropped Baba and I off at (one of) the shrines within Hadano. Baba and went to give our offerings and then I bought a happiness charm/paper. I haven’t actually opened it yet, but your suppose to read it then tie with the other prayers at the shrine. Then we sat down and listened to the young taiko performers play. VERY loud but cool all the same! Then we headed the Dragon’s Path (I only got the dragon part of the sign hehe) and gave another offering. I also drank sake and had fresh purified water at the shrine. Very tasty and fresh! :O

So after that, we hit up the food stalls (of course) and now of course I can’t remember the pancake name but I had that and shaved ice peach flavored AND takoyaki. Like food coma hello. Which is what I went into after this part of the day. I meant to have a quick nap but that morphed into a longer one. X_X Baba did the same though. hehe.

So the next festival was actually put on by Yuta’s work! I bought Baba and I ticket books which were good for all the food stalls and the draw at the end. Like so much food. I had popcorn, cucumber, yakitori, watermelon, shaved ice (again I know BUT IT’S SO GOOD), yakisoba, juice, yakisoba, edamame, fried potatoes and maybe more? I can’t remember. FOOD FOOD FOOD.

The girls workers all did group dances of sorts (and I now have new music to download! Thank you!) which was fun to watch. Then there was some comedy skits and Yuta’s skit was about the 3 power rangers and the Pie bad guy. Haha. He came in to Darth Vader’s theme. Hehe.

And I was 1 number off from winning a prize tonight. SO SAD. hehe But it was all good.

So yeah, good day! It’s been a long one, I had to teach in the AM but overall it’s been a good day. I’ve learned a lot and ate a lot. ^O^

IMG_4952 IMG_4951 IMG_4958
I hope I will continue to have more fun things to report while I’m out here. It’s only like 3 weeks till summer break?

Everyone take care at home. Remember you can LINE or message me if you feel like talking! 🙂

Long Time No Update

Hey boys and girls long time no talk! Hehe ^^;; I’ve been very go go go the past couple weeks and so I haven’t had a huge amount of time to just sit down and write.

So when was my last update? *checks*

20 days ago?! Yikes. Well um. HUH. Time just flies by hey?

Well I will start with that after that really fun weekend of activities Megan and her friends were finishing their Asian tour with Japan! So I got to see her which was awesome. Megan and I don’t normally get to hang out or talk very often so her coming here was great. 🙂

I took them around Yokohama for the day. So we got lost (I hate walking sometimes =_=) on the way to Minato Mirai but I think that worked out because they were taking pictures of the building and what not.

So we finally were in the sites of Minato Mirai and thus our day of adventuring truly began! They wanted to go to Cup Noodle Museum (luckily I hadn’t gone yet! hehe) so we went in there for a while and made our own instant noodles. I have not nor will eat mine though. Bleh ramen. Then we made our way down to the oceanfront and got to look at the boats going by.

After that I took them back to the amusement park but we went into the arcade first. I showed them the photo booth. They loved it! So we did that for a while then we finally got to go on the Ferris Wheel at night. And the view! :O It’s gorgeous.

The next day (after they slept in for a bit), I decided to go to Tokyo and we met in Akihabara. THERE WAS A GAME EVENT GOING ON AND IT WAS SO COOL!! D: I wanted to stay so bad to watch the whole thing. ;0;

After that, we headed off to Harajuku for the 100 yen store. (That seems to be very popular out here :O ) We all did some shopping and then I had to leave them. I had an early day to the airport for Okinawa. ^O^

It was busy weekend but that was just the beginning!

Okinawa. Okinawa.

HOLY HUMIDITY BATMAN. I’m sorry my Canadian friends, I know the weather has been warmer than usual at home BUT OH MY GOD JAPAN’S HUMIDITY. IT’S AWFUL. Like picture your hot. Then add WAY MORE. SO HOT. SO HOT.

So first day was basically walking trying to find places. We found our hotel after a little bit of wandering and then we found a taxi to take us to the main shopping street and to a good place for dinner! Mhhhmmmmm Okinawa Soba. Yummmmmyyy. We also had Sashimi and octopus salad and something else. Everything was good don’t worry! AND I FOUND THE POKEMON CENTER HEHE.

SO NEXT DAY! Bus day!

We went on a bus tour for the day! It took us to the Aquarium (which was the world’s largest until 2005). So many cool things to see! They even have a beach there. That was my favorite part. After that we headed off to the Pineapple place. They have a commercial with a super catchy song and that’s all the girls sang during our stay haha. So we were there eating and drinking everything pineapple flavoured. And I actually didn’t mind it, surprisingly enough. After that it was off to glass blowing. Which just turned out to be a shopping place. So once again, we headed back to the popular street to find supper. Which was a 9$ steak! Not too bad. Not really like home though. And then for the rest of the night we did some more walking and got dessert (crepes!). Then back to the hotel.

Day 3!

We hired a taxi driver for the day which was such a good idea! We went to Okinawa World which had all the older traditional stuff of Okinawa. So we looked around, got Kimono photos. And I did a fish foot bath sort of thing with Kwan. IT FELT WEIRD. But my feet feel so much better after it hehe.

After Okinawa World IT WAS BEACH TIME! It was glorious and short. But the water was so warm and I spent Canada Day on a beach instead of working this year. Hehe. Weird but nice!

So we flew home the next day and kinda had a chill day.

Saturday though it was Peach Picking time! We got to pick 2 peaches and then it was an all you can eat after that (within 40 minutes!) This is when my cold really kicked in so I couldn’t eat much. :< This cold has been awful and I really wish it would go away. . .

Meh I might try and type up part 2 of what’s been going on later. I am still pretty sick and all I want to do is be lazy.

IT’S TOO HOT. WAY TOO HOT.

PS. IF ANYONE WANTS TO POST “BUT ITS HOT HERE YOU HAVE NO IDEA” I will clock you. I know it’s hot at home right now, I see all your statuses and Snapchats. HOWEVER. My skin is actually peels from humidity here. NOT SUNBURN. Humidity. So it’s REALLY HOT for my poor Canadian soul. Also turning my AC on will make my power bill crazy expensive so I can’t have that on.

Ahem. That is all.

HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT/WHATEVER folks! Till the next update!

Day 20/21: Sashimi Me Crazy!

Good Evening and Good Morning!

(Shut up I know my titles suck. You try being that creative! :P)

So the past two days have just been a blur almost. It’s starting to rain a lot here which means my ankle has been flaring up and being stupid. It’s still bruised like crazy and it hurts with the weather changes. =_= But I will suffer through the next two weeks of rain if it means Okinawa will be nothing but sunshine!

Tanizaki (another worker at my job) went on a day trip with her mother and brought everyone oil blotting sheets, and I even got one! 😀 I’m sure I’ll be using it with the heat wave that’ll be here. . .

Then Hiroko’s students brought snacks for Kwan and I today too! I know the one is like Edamame bean stick snacks (like the Pringles sticks but Edamame flavour? They’re good!) and I think the other thing is a cake (I haven’t had it yet. . .maybe that’ll be tomorrow’s update haha) but the saw me in person for the first time today (they follow the school’s facebook very closely!) and they told Hiroko I look so young in person! I asked what that meant and I guess my photo’s (on the FB) make me look much older? T^T Aiyya….

So once a month we have to go to the Kindergarten to teach ALL the kids in one massive lesson today. So next month I’m taking over that and I’m not going to lie, I was terrified to even be in there today. I have 2 groups from this place already and they have been very shy around me. But today the looks I got were just O_O. Actually one girl gave me the dirtiest look I have ever seen on a child when I tried to smile and dance at her. I was thinking HAHAHAHAH I’m screwed. But, at the end everyone went up to give Kwan hugs and I was going to go clean up and all of a sudden I had a hoard of kids on my legs and they wanted to be picked up so I was doing that, and all the high fives and BYE BYEEESSS hahaha. It was cute. So only 1 student out of the lot isn’t too bad. Some of those kids are so cute. . . But low attention span aiya!

So I know this is like 3 weeks in but I gotta say, I think I’m dropping weight already. O_O Mom gave me jeans that were too big on her, but just a little tight on me so I brought them out here. However today as I’m dancing around and doing stuff it dawned on me that I had to keep pulling them up! D: Like they’re getting to be big on me! I AM OKAY WITH THIS! I don’t mind the weight loss. Maybe I’ll be able to fit into pants out here then?? xDD

But seriously. The diet change out here has been huge! Like tonight (Thursday) Baba made sashimi for supper. I recognized the salmon and that was it. There was fish with scales on it still. . .but I ate it all! I DID IT! Actually that fish wasn’t too bad. I don’t know what they all were. . .but I ate it all! Baba always has a soup of sorts, plus rice plus a nice portion of Protein and then either fried veggies or a salad. Like I am eating really good out here! I don’t USUALLY have sugar or chips or that bad stuff out here. . .I hope I can keep it up at home and not give into the temptation of eating bad once I’m home. I do crave my movie popcorn and my Kernel’s popcorn out here though.  Japan you are so healthy. *_* Or I am I too poor to buy snacks. . . .? HMMM.

I don’t know if I’m going to do anything activity wise this weekend. . .I am trying really hard to watch my pennies right now. My funds have been dwindling and I want to make sure I have money for Okinawa! I don’t even get paid and full and proper payday till August. (June is probation month, and I’ll get that money in July) >.< So hahaha anybody want to donate? ;} Although, not gunna lie, I want to go back to Yokohama and go to the Pokemon Center. . .the new Eevee line of merchandise is out and I want to buy some of it. :< Maybe I’ll see how long it’ll be out and go after Okinawa. . .? HMM.

Also, I went out and bought a different face wash as well. The collagen stuff I bought previously was making my skin worse but I think this stuff is better. I hate playing this “Does it work or no?” game out here. It took me long enough in Canada to figure out. =-= Baby steps though!

Hope all is well at home with everyone!

Till the next update!

Day 17/18: Week 2 on the job!

Good Evening! Good Morning!

How are we all this fine day? Well not a super fine day over here. As of 11pm it’s pouring out right now. I’ve been warned about the hot, humid summer rain season and personally. . .I’m not looking forward to it. BLEH.

Sunday/Yesterday for me I popped into Ginza for a couple hours. I went through Hibiya Park which was beautiful! There were a couple bands playing and it was a nice day out for a walk! And then I went through a couple shopping centers and I found the Sanrio store in Ginza! There were two floors of it but I didn’t go shopping. I need to get a paycheck before I can start doing that. . .bleh.

Sorry folks I realize I’m getting boring. :< My ankle has been bothering me with all the rain going on so it’s hard to walk far distances.

Hopefully something a little more interesting will pop up to report on. . . .

Anywho, until the next update!

Day 14/15: Shadow

Good evening (my time!)

So for the past two days I’ve continued to shadow Kwan for her classes. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the information but I’m hoping I’ll be a quick study! I’ve been making notes in my book about who’s who and their lessons so I’m hoping I can pick a nice teaching tempo….

Tomorrow is another back to back lesson day which means supper at 9 :<.

Also I’ve bought face wash finally but I think it’s making everything worse. :S Like my face is extra breakout-y it feels like BLEH. Also the shampoo I bought is Herbal Essences (the one one I could see/recognize from home) but man oh man it’s destroying my hair. ;~; I need to find some sort of leave in conditioner or SOMETHING to help my poor hair. It feels like straw and it’s gross and I don’t like it. I’m hoping my car sells fast (and for a decent price) so that maybe I can order something?

On the food front. . .lots of tomatoes. Like a lot. I don’t want to be rude and be like EWWW TOMATOES because I’m not allergic to it but YUCK. BLEH. Yes I’m eating them but urgh. Also there’s cheese in some of the dinners we’ve had but I don’t have my lactose pills so I’m suffering for all my dairy consumption (which in reality. . . isn’t that much. )

Meh the heat might be starting to become a tad bit bearable? But then again it hasn’t hit the actual summer temperatures yet. Which is depressing because I’m already finding it crazy hot. :< And the rain here? Not a nice cold rain back in Canada. No it’s like a hot and sticky just MORE BLEH.

I’m still nervous about work, but I’ve been pinning while Kwan’s doing her lessons I can shadow and doing my notes so hopefully I can come up with my own plans. Cause if not this may be a long year *_*

Tomorrow is the last day of work and then I get Saturday/Sunday off. So I might go do some more exploring. . . .
PS

Please someone send nice hair stuff for poor Amber. If not now then I would love a Chi Iron for Christmas. My hair thanks you for your consideration.

PPS

Also send Mike and Ikes. IT’S SO WEIRD NOT EATING SUGAR. D:

Day 7/8: I’ve been here for a week. . .ish

Hello boys and girls and welcome back!

So for day 7 I decided to head out to Yokohama for the day! I saw that they had a Pokemon Center there and I knew I had go find it! My SIM card came and I thought everything was good and dandy so I wouldn’t need to worry about anything today (I have a Data/Voice (I thought?)/texting plan) so Kwan and I quickly got my phone good to go and then off I went! Except when I was the train I couldn’t access my data. AT ALL. So uh yeah. . .another day without that working. OYYY JAPAN GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER. 😡

So once in Yokohama, I wandered around the station for a bit trying to remember the general direction of the store. Which I kinda failed at so I walked back to the station and I followed the emergency evacuation signs which actually led to me to the general area. Let me show you a map:

yokohama mapSo this map here? I pretty much walked it all (save a couple areas) FROM THE STATION. WHICH IS FARTHER AWAY. SO. MUCH. WALKING. My feet have blisters today. (Also made me realize at the end of the day to take the Subway back because I seriously couldn’t walk any more.) Also. . .cause I was lost. IF MY DATA HAD BEEN WORKING OR THIS SO CALLED ‘FREE WIFI’ grumble grumble. . . .urhg. Continuing on.

So I went to Rinko park and to the Annex Hall and the Yokohama Center, and the fancy hospital till I finally got to World Porter. This is in the Minato Mirai area! Which is a big BIG mall. It has a Hawaiian Section. Why, I have no clue. It’s also about 1:30 and I AM HUNGRY. (No breakfast or supper the night before) But too scared to order anything from anyone. (Also half of Yokohama are pasta places. WHY?? D: ) So I decided to brave Starbucks cause I needed something in my system.

soymilk amber

Wrong first Katakana but oh lord they spoke English and were nice so I didn’t even care. So uh that’s my food post of the day (seriously I didn’t eat. ;0;)

So off I went to explore the park across the street!

daytime wheel

That is called the Cosmo Clock Ferris Wheel? I think? It said it’s the largest Ferris Wheel in the world. Haha. Kwan told me to ride it at night but I was so freaking tired by that time I just couldn’t. So I poked around, tried the arcade (failed =_=) and then headed off! I walked by the Cup Noodles Museum but they were closing soon so I decided to not go that day (maybe another day . . .WHEN I GO TO THE POKEMON CENTER).

So I walked around some more towards the Osanbashi Pier and down to akarenga soko (Red Brick place) and while I was walking there wasn’t enough room for me and this older man to walk so we kind of collided and I tried to say sorry but then he just went CRAZY and yelled at me hard core. ;0; I DIDN’T MEAN TO I’M SORRY. TAKE YOUR GANGSTER TALK ELSEWHERE SIR HARUMP.

So I walked some more. Down the the Bashamichi Shopping Street and the Motomatchi Shopping Street and then I walked back to Cosmo World. But while I was in these shopping districts I found a pet shop. . .WITH PUPPIES EVERYWHERE. It made me so happy but then sad cause now I miss my dogs. :<

Also a random guy (Like foreigner and not a white one) came up talking Japanese to me and I told him nope no Japanese and then was all ENGRISH? Ok sure sir. . .And then he asked me if I was alone and that if I could go to a place with him? Go drink? I replied “No drinking thank you, and I want to be by myself thank you!” and took off hoping he wouldn’t follow me. =_= Whee.

I went through Queen’s Center (and hahaha now that I do my research the Pokemon Center is the tower next to it. FACKKK) And found the station to go back to Yokohama. Where there I decided to kill time because rush hour traffic sucks. So after that I got on the train back home and and I ended up sitting next to a guy originally from Oregon! He moved out here ages ago and he has to commute 3 hours each way for his job which I think sucks. :< But we talked for the ride and ya, now I know another person in Hanado.

I bought a couple shirts and all the water and liquids yesterday. So maybe today I’ll head to to market and grab some real food. So day 8 is going to be a relaxing day too. . .my feet and back hurt so they need a break.

Anywho, till the next update!
