Very free week

This week I was very free. The school had a test. So I was free this whole week. So I would go to school. And go to the library for some alone studying. Than when test is over I would go to the classroom and clean and then go home. This whole week except friday I went to school by bicycle. I am slowly getting used to it. I am slowly remember the roadway. Slowly. Step by step.
Monday was a holiday here. I bought some manga books. Sunday was the middle school sports day. It was really a fun day. Except really hot. Asuka chan was working hard. I also bought some origami paper to work on whenever I am bored. I bought a hat for only 7 bucks. Canada it is normally 20 bucks for a single hat. Here it is sooo cheap. There were fashionable shoes for 3 bucks. A fashionable vest for only 9 bucks. Where as in Canada is in the 20s. I have 5 months to purchase those. hahaha. I only bought a hat tho.
Next week I have tuesday off because the day is half and half. 12 hours day and 12 hours night. Kind of weird but great. Monday is the last day of testing. So last day of free time in the library I mean study time in the library. NO I actually do study in the library. I am trying to memorize 80 kanji. My goal is to remember them by the end of the first week of October. Will I Succeed? I hope so. It's really difficult. First week of October as well is very busy for me. School festival is on the 3rd and 4th. Than the end of October is sports festival. So really busy for October.
Today at 4 o'clock I am going to Ouchi san's place. They are going to show me kurashiki and talk about the Church in Kurashiki. I am looking forward to meeting them. Finally a church. ^0^
I showed my homestay father a golf advertising booklet I brought from Canada, he was really happy. He kept saying he wanted to go to Canada just for the golfing experience. My homestay mother knows about the Little house on the prairie series. That is her image of canada. So I showed her some images of Canada.
Sunday after I return from Kurashiki I am hoping to make some chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't find any oatmeal here so I am just making chocolate chip cookies. They sorta have a very small oven. But it is okay. ^0^. cookies are easy to bake. Surprisingly most of the students in school here don't know how to cook. Most of the time it is their mothers that do it. Only some students know how. Yet they study home economics at school. Yet home economics at school is not hands on. It is only from books.
well I can't think of anything else. I am working hard here. ^0^

Transfer and Communication

So, I arrived in Seoul after a long 14 hour trip. 14? maybe even 15. The layover in Shanghai was brutal to say the least. Well the flight to Shanghai itself was brutal as well. First, there was no tv like i'm used to on long flight travels. Second, My laptop wasn't fully charged, so I couldn't even use it for long as I was saving it for the layover. Third, Food/service on the plane wasn't that great. I got 2 meals and some sort of sandwich snack. Also, I told you yesterday about gate checking in my guitar? Well, that didn't work out well. At least they let me put it in the overhead compartment besides it being a full flight. However, I sat beside a really nice person who helped me. The flight attendants were not really good at understanding English, so the person beside me helped me ask the flight attendants what to do and etc. So the 12 hr flight to Shanghai was brutal with me fighting to sleep or staring into nothingness, attempt at conversation to the perso

Osaka! Takarazuka! Junsu?

So where do I begin? Last time I told you I was going to update in Japan but I ended up not doing that because on the flight to Japan, I made friends with the person beside me. We somehow connected in conversations during the flight over that, before she had to move on to Shanghai, thought we should chill together a little bit more. (Which reminds me that I need to e-mail her). Anyways, the flight over to Korea eventually was uneventful besides the turbulence in the beginning, well landing in Japan was very turbulent as well. The weather was not great at that time to say the least. Landed safely and I was happy to see that my friends had came to pick me up. Keeping it Korean style, decided to take a picture of my arrival/reunion. We caught up with each other on the way to the friend's place I'm staying at, and it really felt surreal for me to be back in Korea. It was nice and welcoming at the same time it was... yup I'm in Korea... kind of reaction. Since my plane lande

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already.  I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep.  Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for
