japanese floats

* Update - tried fixing the links to the pics, hope it helped *

So, yeah, the last week was a *little* rocky. And something is still wrong with my system, because I’m waking up japanese glass float like… 6… and anyone who knows me knows that this sort of thing, similar to life spontaneously generating, doesn’t just happen. But things japanese glass float starting to level out. I’ll have a car soon, and my friend Matt, at work, took his truck to my storage unit and helped me haul home my futon, and a japanese glass floats and some things, so I’m not sleeping on the carpet anymore.

Something nearly as shocking as culture re-entry is discovering who missed you and who didn’t. This is seriously weird. Sometimes people who you thought hardly noticed your existence really miss you beachcombing your japanese glass float Other times, people who you hung out with constantly are sort of… indifferent. Still scratching my head. But spirits are up. No more alarmed, S.O.S. japanese float Japanese paragraphs should be posted in a while, I think. But there are still good stories to tell.

Oh, here’s japanese float funny thing - japanese glass float no beachcombing of taking a Chinese class this semester, but I went to visit my teacher from last year. She really missed me, gave me a big hug, and insisted I take Chinese 3 (3????). Even though the class was full, she manually installed me, and now I am taking the class every day. This is actually one thing that has made life significantly better. I need something like that. Anyway, it’s gonna be a little tough since I almost forgot japanese glass float the previous lessons. japanese floats now refreshing like crazy (well, sort of, I guess, I’m busy doing other things japanese float all the old material. Good news is, my pronunciation seems to still be pretty good.

Ok… japanese floats real quick then, I want to post some pics from my trip to Hokkaido. This was only 3 weeks ago, beachcombing it sort of japanese floats like a separate universe ago now. But here you go!

Takuma met Eria, Shinju (Pearl) and I at Izumi Chuo that Monday evening.

Before going to far, we stopped to foxandfriends.com some drinks and stuff. (Eria-L, Shinju - M, Takuma - R) . Everyone (well, except me) had slept normally the japanese floats before, and we weren’t cranky yet.

We got on a tollway, and in Japan they are really expensive (around $50). The drive to Aomori is a long drive, so here we are at one of the japanese glass float locations on the Toll-way. Pearl had some bad tasting beachcombing Takuma and I had some sort of beachcombing on rice thing japanese float I am getting hungry thinking off, and I can’t remember what Eria ate.

We got to Aomori at about 2AM. Our ferry to Hokkaido was going japanese floats leave at 2:50, so we ran to a konbini, grabbed some moderately tasty and reasonably cheap konbini crap food, and headed back. The ferry was amazing. Didn’t look like a Puget Sound ferry, looked more like a regular ship. It was huge. There were a million cars inside, on lots of floors. To board the boat, the japanese floats folded up.

Unfortunately, I was a moron, and didn’t take any photos of the interior. It was really interesting - japanese floats is a large lobby inside with chairs, couches etc. A second floor with a large room full of computer games, smaller rooms for the rich people, and a large observation deck.

(looking down on a ship next door)

If japanese glass float want to sleep and are a normal class person, you go into a very large tatami room, (no shoes) and just lay on the carpet. There’s tons of people trying to sleep, so you just try to find a place where you can sleep w/your buddies. An old lady saw me trying to sleep and gave me this squishy block thing to put under my head. It was nice. Anyway, the boat was about 4 hours long, I think I got about 2 hours sleep.

Here is Eria. Eria is Japanese for “Elijah.” Stout Christian, he is a dentist student. He wants to be a dental missionary. He was japanese floats very hard at learning English, and so we had an arrangement - he would speak to me in English, and I would speak to him in Japanese. Had many long interesting conversations with him while japanese float in beachcombing Sento’s (spa).

Some mountain visible from the boat before docking.

Anyway, when we got to Hokkaido and popped back in the car.

Here’s Shinjuchan in the back. We were all really tired, and foxandfriends.com hungry so we stopped at a rest stop and Takuma got some sort of smoked ika stuff. There was a park, and a really cool mountain in japanese floats background:

We had another 6 or so hours of beachcombing ahead, so we hit the road again. japanese glass float if you don’t know, is the frozen northern island of Japan. Only, this summer, it was roastingly, unbelievably, boilingly hot and humid (as was all of Japan).

Impressions of Hokkaido: very few people japanese floats has japanese glass floats expansion room, I see), gorgeous, japanese glass floats the coast is dotted with a million small fishing villages (Japanese floats!), tons of onsens, and tons of wildlife (avoid the foxes, they carry some sort of disease). I’ve asked a lot of Japanese people if they’ve gone to Hokkaido, and most of them say japanese glass float When I ask them why, they normally say japanese floats it’s a different Island.” This just seems so japanese glass float to me. I mean, nothing in Japan is really all that far away from anything else. Another japanese glass floats thing is, it seems that people in Hokkaido don’t japanese floats to get out of Hokkaido all that much.

So, japanese floats stopped at some shopping mall because we were supposedly going to japanese glass floats basketball foxandfriends.com a nice court, and I needed some cheap but japanese float basketball shoes. Whatever. After searching 2 stores to find shoes big enough for me, I found a pair that were almost large enough and shelled out 3000 yen (~$25) for them. We finally got to the camp, brought our stuff in, and had some hang out time so we played basketball. Turns out they were too small and gave my toes blisters. Eventually, I just took them off and played barefoot, heh. Oh well.

The camp had already started 2 days before, so we brought our bags to our rooms, and found some empty seats then went to the sento, washed off, japanese floats headed to dinner where everyone else was. After that, there was a worship time and message. Came back to the japanese floats and saw bugs crawling all beachcombing the windows outside the room. One in beachcombing looked gigantic, so to everyone else’s amusement japanese glass float out the window and caught whatever it was. Brought it back in, and everyone was like “wow! That’s huge!”

It’s called a “kuagata.” The males (with the giant pincers) wrestle each other when they encounter, and little boys find this incredibly entertaining. So, they find or japanese glass float Kuagata japanese glass float have bug wrestling tournaments. There’s even computer games here based around kuagata matches, or kuagata vs. caputomushi (another wrestling beetle) matches. Speaking of, in my dream last japanese floats there was a cuagata vs. caputomushi match. japanese glass float Takuma, Eria and I, bonding in our mutual exhaustion, took photoes

We hit the hay and woke up japanese floats next day at 6:00 AM. We were supposed to japanese glass float out front for… “exercises.” ok… these were absolutely hilarious. You tune into the radio and do these really funny stretches. You beachcombing to be there, japanese floats understand japanese floats it’s so funny. Japanese radio broadcasts are just really… weird.

(Little boys wrestling Kuagata, before the exercises)

japanese float some free time at this point, so like normal I went exploring. I went on a small hike up a path. Here’s a cool dragonfly. I did not crop this shot, I had to make several attempts and approach very slowly!

japanese floats we had another worship time. foxandfriends.com they are practicing.

The worship/talk was the last event of the camp, so here we are posing with some of Takuma’s friends. This was a church camp for Takuma’s home church (he’s from Hokkaido) so he knew just about every one else, it seems. It’s like his yearly catching up time with his friends.

This girl is Kumiko. I think she has some type of palsy, but she was a lot of fun and she sang the songs with more enthusiasm, and beachcombing than anyone else. When her church was japanese floats a group photo, foxandfriends.com ran up and pulled me into the pic. heh heh

Since we caught only the tail end of the camp, we weren’t there very long. Our foxandfriends.com left Hokkaido at 2:50 AM again, so we had some time to spare. Takuma followed japanese floats pastor’s car, and drove us to Sapporo, beachcombing we visited his old church.

(Sapporo Rainbow Chapel)

Rainbows don’t have the connotation that they do here, it’s an Assembly of God church. We hung out at the church for a long time, and I met the japanese floats for the band at the camp, her name was Saki. She was really cool. Really really cool. Infact, er… well… yeah. Think about these things japanese float Marston. Anyways, that was my favorite part of the expedition.

Finally, we left the church and went downtown Sapporo

Sapporo is a japanese floats amazing city. It is ultra modern, and arrayed Chess board like. They think japanese glass floats like beachcombing American city. Well… maybe… there’s plenty of un-chess board like cities in the states. Seattle, for example. japanese glass float it was a really cool city.

(this was a rad shot, I think)

Sapporo is famous for its Miso Ramen, so we went in search of some. Takuma knew a great place japanese glass float the top of a building. It’s a whole floor of ramen shops. We ate and were satisfied.

We then began our long and tedious drive back.

The drive back was fairly uneventful. Once more, we got to the ferry station. My hours of sleeping for the previous nights was something like 4, 2, and 6, so I wasn’t doing so hot and neither were the others. Takuma had been drinking these straight caffeine pills (the box illustration was a giant bloodshot but very stimulated looking eye). I didn’t really sleep that night at all, actually. The next morning totally sucked, but we went to a spa the next morning and felt japanese float better afterwards. The trip home was sort of a hazy memory for me. All I remember is that they put up w/my crankiness really well, and Takuma was an unbelievable stud for driving and not falling asleep.

Good times. If you can go to Hokkaido, Sapporo specifically, I highly recommend it.
