Monday- exploring my area and shopping :D It's very easy to spend hours in a 100 yen (64p) shops buying non-necessities!!
Tuesday was spent sightseeing. Andrew and I went to Asakusa to see the famous Sensoji temple. Unfortunately the temple itself was hidden under construction work, so pictured below are the Senso-ji pagoda and the iconic Thundergate, Konarimon with its trademark 4 metre high red lantern.
The day was followed by karaoke and a good night out with my friends from school, Josh and Branwen :)
It was nice to see some friendly faces!
Wednesday I went to Tokyo Disneyland with my friend Andrew from training, his coworker Ben, and two Japanese students. It was a total scorcher of a day!! We conquered Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain, and of course we went on the cheesey international boat ride "It's A Small World". I still have that song stuck in my head!
I have not seen anything cuter than little Japanese girls dressed in Belle and Cinderella princess dresses!!!!
The Hallowe'en parade and fireworks were spectacular of course!
Oh and today was the first lesson I conducted on my own which I felt was highly successful. Yay me!

ReplyDeletePictures or it didn't happen. :D (Damn I wish I could use html here.)
I have a cooker! Brand spanking new! I am really depressed at how excited I am to have my own, brand new cooker! :D :: Claps like the happy seal she is :: So I need to do a few things to it before some actual cooking can commence (like, heat it up, let it be warm for ten mins, turn it off, let it cool then rinse down with soapy water, cause new cooker smells of plastic, and you don't want that on your food! :D).
I have wax under my fingernails. Weird.
So yeah, pictures or it didn't happen! :D
