HEYOOOOOOOOO

UH WHAT
Yeah still here, still aliving it JapanLand
READ THAT AS YOU WILL

It's been a long while since I've dropped some knowledge on you dudes so I guess I better just RECAP things which have happened in the past few weeks/months WHATEVER IT'S BEEN A WHILE

MARCH
was cool. I think. I don't really remember when things happened and all that. Wait I think already posted in March about the whole 99 islands and all that jazz. Okay March DONE

APRIL
is this month right now. Things have been happening and they have been going well. I had a big ol' spring break (two weeks! and a little more!) and that was rad. Been playing a lot of Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart Wii and stuff. That too is rad, but probably to a lesser extent.

I think it was in April that I went for Hanami, which is when everybody in Japan stops what they're doing to go to the park and admire the Sakura flowers blooming before they're all blown off the branches and the trees are just left with boring green leaves instead of pink flowers. I ate a carrot while there. It was unwashed, but I peeled it.

I went to a TALL SHIP festival in Nagasaki recently, which was pretty cool too. Some of my friends brought some cricket stuff and were fooling around with that. There were a TON of hawks hanging around, chasing birds and being generally intimidating. I think one of them ate a small dog. Or a child.

COMING UP
is GORUDEN UIIKU, or Golden Week. Golden Week isn't really a week, but rather a collection of holidays in such close proximity that they usually end up taking entire weeks and giving everyone a wonderful, relaxing break. This year, however, a lot of the holidays fall on the weekend which is a BIG BUMMER. Oh well. Anyway, I'm going to a mountain. Should be fun. Plus I miss two days of school which is goooood newwwws.

Shortly afterwards, I'll be making the trip to Kyoto and Tokyo with the other exchange students and taking super touristy pictures being all OOOH AHHH LOOK AT THE SIGHTS! That should be fun.

More on that stuff when I actually do it. Pictures and all!
