Been back for a little more than a week now. Most of the jetlag is gone lol.
Anyway I uploaded my pictures here so you can finally see them or…most of them xD (cept for the ones I took out har~mm..I still want a new camera xD). Just click on the respective day in the Navigation to look at the pictures.
Videos will seriously take me forever. (hmm…I wonder if WordPress has a plugin for it now)

hmm…slightly contemplating whether I should upload them to Facebook or not aha~

I miss Japan so much T . T
(´┏_┓｀)oO[かなしみ〜]

Feeling: satisfied from lunch

So yesterday we went to Hiroshima and wow. it was absolutely beautiful there. That plus the weather was great, a little too warm but since the city is kinda a costal city there was a nice breeze during the day. The shinkasen (a.k.a. the bullet train) was also really cool, and really fast xDD imo. Canada should build one too >3 My ears kept popping at certain points during the ride though aha. Overall it took us…I think about 1hr and 45mins to get from Osaka to Hiroshima. This time the Japanese students and faculty weren’t with us though so we were doing everything on own. It was fun nevertheless :33 I ate momiji manjuu yesterday at I don’t remember the island we went to xDD (“momiji manjuu” Ayame *nudge nudge* lol) it had red bean paste in it. =u=

Oh and I’m quite happy now cause another person in our group also has a psp and brought their charger with them so yayyyyy I can charge my psp :’D (I miss my music =u=) Tomorrow we’re going to Tokyo. woOt really excited x333 Tonight we’re going to karaoke too :333

I leave you now with a pretty picture I took from Hiroshima yesterday :333 zomg, there were so many kids there it was crazy inside the museum Oo;;;

ONE WEEK!
It’s officially been one week now woOt. and boo at the same time because there’s only one week left till we leave to head home T__T Anyway~~

Yesterday we went to Kyoto which was beautiful =u= I love how there’s so much green in Japan even in the cities. lol then again the climate is a little more suited for greenery (sp?) here than it is in Canada ahahahaha~~~ ummm…yes. I have no idea what else to blog about ho~

Tokyo in 3 days. Tomorrow we’ll be going to Hiroshima. gahhh, gotta wake up so early x__x

oh there was a huge thunderstorm last night here in Osaka. Somehow I slept through it. xD so tired. I actually didn’t know about it until my homestay dad told me this morning xDDD then again I kinda expected it cause it was raining pretty hard last night lol

Feeling: happy
Melody: Number Six

aha, haven’t blogged in a while har. So what have I been doing for the last few days

day after the welcoming party we went to Downtown Osaka and FINALLY got our cellphones =u= yayyy. Mine was pink though D: I wanted the black or white one cause they looked cooler x3 oh wells. Unfortunately because we had taken up so much time with the cellphones and travelling, we didn’t get to do much shopping T__T But we’re supposed do more of that this week ^^

Day after (Saturday here) we went to Nara and zomg, there are deer running around EVERYWHERE! It was insane, you can also buy food to feed them too. lol One of the professors that was with us tried it and LOL *rotflol* she was totally mauled by the deer (I’d show you a video I took of it but I don’t want to upload it because it’ll take too long Oo;; ). The Japanese deer aren’t as big as Canadian deer though aha. We also went to a shrine with a huge buddha in it. But then my camera died so I couldn’t take a picture of it T__T There was also a pillar with a hole in it that’s the size of the giant buddha’s nose. They said if you could crawl through it you’d have a long healthy life. (lol I didn’t go through). Bought a few souvenir’s for my parents. (Ayame: was going to buy you a charm but then I’m thinking of buying you something else from Tokyo lol *cough*Girugamesh*cough*)

Yesterday was a free day so my host family actually took me back to Nara again to visit another temple/shrine. Which was cool because I didn’t get to take pictures at the other Nara shrine. We also went to a Japanese art museum, and fwaaaa. Japanese art is way. too. cool. and obviously beyond any art skill I’ll ever have xDDD Oh also had traditional style Japanese green tea. They said it would be really bitter but I thought it tasted fine LOL (I prefer stronger tea aha). It’s the same kinda of tea used for Japanese tea ceremonies (it came with really sweeet powdered candies xD). Went out for dinner and then drove by the mountain to get a good view of Osaka at night. I was pretty tired by then so I wasn’t paying too much attention to stuff LOL.

And….that’s pretty much it for the last few days. And yes I’m at school today so….I’ll blog again later on my break (it’s about 11am here right now).

Feeling: happy and tired
Melody: Guren – the GazettE (in my head har)

O.k. I finally have a break yayyy lol.
Umm…let’s see… Expanding on what I was saying before. xD

We got to Vancouver at about 10:30am local time. Had 2 hours for lunch then got on the plane sat there for an hour and then got told to get off the plane because one of the engine’s wasn’t starting up D: So our flight was delayed 4 hours, they gave us $10 vouchers to compensate, spent it on snacks and drinks aha~

Anyway, started boarding at about 4:30pm (late, it was supposed to start at 4:15pm Dx) and didn’t take off until about 5:10pm. Got to Osaka at 8:10pm local time and got out from customs/security registration by about 10pm. Some of the exchange students met up with us there which was awesome and really nice of them. Of course the opening reception was cancelled meaning we had no homestay’s for the first night. So we ended up staying at a hotel paid for by the university. (too nice TuT;;; ). Yep…stupid Air Canada Dx First night driving to the hotel though, my impression of Osaka was: “everything reminds me of Toronto!” xDD The highway roads along the lake completely reminded me of the Lakeshore and Front St. (factories, ferry’s and all xD)

Anyway today has been awesome. The university is kinda on top of a huuuuuuuggggeee hill xDD in the middle of a national park so it’s not that big really aha~. We got a tour of the campus which was cool lol, the interior of the buildings really remind me of typical school-girl-type shoujo anime’s. The classrooms, halls, doors, really EVERYTHING lol. But it’s really cool and people are really nice :33 Funny thing is that really amuses me is that there are literally, vending machines everywhere you go (drink machines, food machines etc.). On our campus tour I even saw a instant noodle machine! xDD (it sells nissan cup noodles x3).

Oh we also had a vocaloid workshop today which was awesome x333 So awesome it makes me want to do it ahaha~ I really don’t want to go through explaining it but for you people who are free I highly highly suggest Wiki-ing it and then Youtube-ing it. It’s really cool x3333

So….umm..yep, I still have about an hour before the reception starts and I dunno what else to say other than I can’t wait to move in with my homestay x3. Oh and this mac I’m on annoys me to some extent because one. I can’t access my e-mail at all, apparently none of them can in the room we’re in because the computer’s (for some reason that they’re still trying to figure out) won’t let you access ‘https://’ sites, I’m not going to rant about the technical mechanics on it but basically ALL e-mails use https:// D: so ya, if you e-mail me anything. Expect a little bit of a wait before I reply because only one computer in the lab we’re in can access e-mail’s for some reason. >>;;; And I’m sad T0T cause my PSP ran out of batteries and I completely forgot to take my spare *cries* I think I might go buy a new battery if I can because my battery died pretty fast and it’s a few years old now so…ya…

Anyway, leaving for reception soon so see you all later in another post. I leave you now with a picture of the awesome instant noodle vending machine I took today xDDD

Melody: 春色の花 ~ Kra

Well, this is it. Gone tomorrow. 13 hour flight. Approximately 4 hours to Vancouver and another 10 or so to Kansai Osaka. Yipee~ Oh boy, I wonder what we’ll do to amuse ourselves on the plane xD

Maybe I’ll just sleep the first few hours….or try to (can’t really sleep on planes). I’m going to be up until 4am again first night Oo;;; (or sleeping on and off). woOt~ jetlag
