oh i love flickr (if that worked that is….)

so, one place down, one last place to go…  find it hard to believe!  I’ll go the the botanical gardens on either wednesday or thursday afternoon, so next weekend will be very relaxing…..

neway, Zao – in winter a very popular ski resort.  in summer, well, pretty, cooler than most other places around, but unfortunatly for me cloudy and very windy when I decided to go.  Well, actually i had a blast – i love being in clouds, but i kinda wish i bought a sweater or something, was a little cold.  took a little over 2 hours to get there, and about 5,000 yen, so it was a bit of an expensive expedidtion.  would love to drive there!  so many facinating things to see, but unfortunatly using the bus was pretty restrictive – only 3 each way all day long….

um, obviously i didnt go to the island like i had orinally planned.  After getting a mild sunstroke on friday i thought it wouldnt be the greatest idea.  so instead i went out with the dorm mother yesterday for lunch.  we also went shopping and she bought me heaps of stuff.  put it this way, if she had her way I would have a half meter koteshi coming home with me….  but i managed to talk her out of it….  heavy things…

kinda stressing about packing.  i have far to many books… 

oh, today was a public holiday, so that was a very nice change. 

now i just have to prepare for my history lesson tomorrow.  we are looking at WWII, so it will be intresting…..
