- Afternoon thunder! It’s not actually raining, for a while you could see clear blue sky… while listening to thunder. Hunh? I know. It’s weird. But very, very cool.
- “Super 8″.
I saw this movie the other night and it rocked my face off. Maybe not something I want to watch again right away, but definitely a good film. Very likable child characters, which is not easy. Hilarious bits, and also scary bits (I SCREAMED in the theater and flung my hands in front of my face).Also contained the LOUDEST train crash I have ever seen. It was incredible. - This natural makeup video. She knows her stuff.
- School lunch
Today was curry pilaf with sweet chicken, cabbage, potato salad & miso soup. SO DELICIOUS. - School Trip to Hokkaido
Both my schools took school trip to Hokkaido this past week. I did not go, so why do I love it?THE OMIYAGE (souvenirs)
Hokkaido omiyage are basically all made out of chocolate. The big omiyage attraction, Shiroi Koibito (White Lovers) Park, is a chocolate factory. That’s all. I mean, Hokkaido has other stuff, like Lavender Ice Cream and Ghengis Khan (lamb kebab, usually in all-you-can-eat format) but those don’t translate into souvenir food so well. So, chocolate it is! Yum yum yum.
- Speaking Japanese
I am trying to sort through the paperwork of leaving Japan (it’s a bureaucratic nightmare just trying to get a plane ticket). Because my visa will expire before I actually leave, I had to call the immigration office today, to ask about changing my visa. There is a lot of info online, but most is contradictory, so I needed to know when I had to file by. I have to take time off work to go down to Komatsushima and do filing, so it’s important to have all the stuff I need before I go.The clerk I talked to was all “No English”, so I did my best in Japanese… and got all the info that I wanted. Some clarification came from a former ALT who did this all last year, but I feel so good every time I can do communication. Ha ha!
