Random madness keeps you healthy
Ok, so it has been a really long time since my last post. From now on I will try to keep them more regular. Since I went to the sumo match I have done a lot of small things, nothing big. I would say the biggest thing I have done since then is stayed with my host family. Unfortunately the stay was only for 1 night, but my host family has invited me to come back again. My host mom is one of the nicest people I have met in a long time and my host father is really cool and laid back. Their son, though busy with studying for the entrance exams for college, is in a band and he plays the guitar. I will have pictures and stuff up on my FlickR so check them out there.
Oh, yeah, I went to the Kawagoe Matsuri (かわごえ祭り). Kawagoe is a city that is just a few stations from mine, and a matsuri is a festival. There is lots of festival type foods. Everything from grilled squid and takoyaki to cotton candy and chocolate covered bananas. Its really really crowded and they carry a moving shrine that has people dancing and playing instruments, and the different shrines will battle as they meet at intersections. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait until the next festival. I want to go to Hokkaido for the winter festival, but we will just have to see how that goes.
There are a few more things that I have done which are just sightseeing and hanging out with friends. So, yeah check out the FlickR.

Konnichiwa! Hisashiburi.
It’s me, sensei.
I’m so glad that you are doing very well in Japan.
How’s your study going?
I know it’s cold in Japan.
So stay warm and have a safe and good winter break!
By the way, it seems little strange to me that you have short hair!

Sensei~! Its good to hear from you. My studies are going very well I stay pretty busy, and yeah its getting colder and colder each day. Winter is going to be a little different away from home, but I’m sure I’ll be fine. Yeah, it is also strange for me to have short hair. Well, thank you for visiting my website!!! I hope you and your family have a great and happy cristmas!

Josh, I require more frequent updates so I can pretend I know stuff about Japan. Also you must find one of those vending machines I was talking about before I left and take a picture of it.

Understood :P. I have already said that I will update more often. I do suck when it comes to updating XD lol. I actually don’t remember what vending machine you were talking about, but if its what I’m thinking they don’t actually have them XD lol, or at least i cant find them because I have looked rofl.
