Japanese Whiskers

Observations from and comments on my stay in Akita, Japan.

Fall is here

And I'm terribly sorry I have once again been such a lazy ass when it comes to updating this blog. If there is actually anyone still reading this I am surprised, but also thankful. Thanks dude!

So anyway, the reason why? Can't really say. One reason is that I am now so busy I only have time to do the bare essentials. Eat, sleep, and do homework. Apart from being with my girl that is. Oh I didn't tell anyone about my girl did I? Well, I have a girlfriend now, you see. She's the most wonderful girl in the world. I've had a few attempts at relationships before, but this is it, baby. This is the real thing. And I'm just happy. So happy. It's amazing what a little love can do to you. I will try to get back with a picture or two of this God's most wonderful creation. Just like I said I'd be back with pictues of my trip... erm... yeah, like that. This time I really mean it! Really!

In other news, I am taking some really interesting, though intensive, courses this semster. Business Management and Entrepreneurship are both filled with lots of reading and actual thought process required. But thanks to the great teachers, Dr. Nishikawa and Dr. Lacktorin, they are both among the most enjoyable classes I've ever taken. And I'm only a couple of weeks into the semester.

This weekend I had a lot of fun, all that homework aside. Today we went to Akita City, me and a bunch of other students, and had nomihoudai, which is basically "all you can drink". Loads of fun, with free Karaoke and lots of beer and drinks. On Saturday I also had a lot of fun, even though I got a bit sunburned. We went on a school arranged trip to a mountain and hot springs. After an hour hike on the mountain we got back to the bus and stopped at an Onsen on the way back. The water smelled a bit bad, but felt really good. I really do love Onsen. I want to go to other exaotic ones, wherever they are. It's just so great.

Anyway, that should be it for now. I truly hope I will get some time to get pictures up. There's just so many...
