another update so soon?!?

well, had a very quite weekend.  it was really nice to sleep in both days  but as of tomorrow its back to school and waking up at 0630 everyday….  blah

so anyway, saturday was spent doing some homework, and then with some girls i was introduced to by one of my teachers – Shizuka and Megumi.  We went shopping in S-Pal for few hours and then out to dinner at this tiny quite italian place.  Dinner was great!  I love how in japan they like having all these little courses!  we had salad and raw(?) octopus to start, followed my a shrimp and soy bean cream pasta,  a cheese pizza, then lemon soy chicken followed finally by desserts of sobet, creme’ brulee and a tira mizu like apricot, rum and rasin cake.  Absolutly lovely!  I love food

today, i decided to do a little walking.  I live withing 30 minutes of a place called Kitayama, which has about 5 well known temples and is near Aoba Shrine.  pretty cool actually, but i need to learn to avoid places with yama in the name – means I’ll be climbing either stairs or hills…..  Aoba shrine was pretty, heaps of trees and quite grand.  So was Rinno-ji another of the temples, but it had a garden which was beautiful!  Unfortunately you could take pictures, and the websites photos suck, but if you wanna look, its at http://www.rinno-ji.or.jp

so thats really all for sightseeing until next weekend….

on a side note, found a story that I think is absolutely hilarous – The Hikokiri Stainmaster.  if you dont mind reading rurouni kenshin fanfiction, give it a whirl, but you probably wont understanad what i think is so funny…..  its a parody, but the thing that really really got me laughing was the ‘scrubbygumi’ bit…..  hehe, cant say it without giggling still….
