How to tell the weather in Numazu
Giants baseball game
In Tokyo Dome
Giants won :)Well, not sure where to begin, but I guess I can start with the reason as to my very long absense from posting anything...my computer died. After six years of loyal service, my computer decided to kick the bucket. So I was without a computer for about three weeks. I do have almost everything backed up though (minus my pictures of Osaka...figures), so I'm not too upset. My new computer (a Macbook) is really great and I've been having fun with it...
I went to Osaka for Golden Week as well as swing dancing (several times) in Tokyo. I went to Osaka Castle and the Municiple Museum of Art for a special kimono exibit that was being held there. The kimonos were truly lovely and the castle was interesting to explore as well. In Tokyo, I did a lot of dancing. One night, instead of leaving to catch the train home, I stayed and danced till 6 in the morning...good times.
A few weeks ago, I finally used those tickets that I won and I went with my friend, Ai, to Awashima Marine Park. The park is small, but we had fun and saw some interesting marine life while there (purple lobsters, anyone?). Mostly, it was just nice to visit with my friend.
Last week I went to a Giants game at Tokyo Dome. The Giants are one of the most popular teams right now, so I was happy that I got to go. They won the game and it was a lot of fun to watch. The fans get really into the game...made me think of Navy football games in the U.S. :)
Well, I guess that is it for now. There is not much more time left for me to be here in Japan, so I am determined to make the most of it. I hope you are all doing well. Have a fantastic summer!
