This past two weeks...

So I didn't write last week mainly because I was busy. Last week was the school's open school so the middle school students come to kojokan to check it out. See if they like it or not. Kind of thing. Well I was busy with that. Also practicing for the Saxophone festival thing. I never knew that Classical Saxophone was so big here. Our trio got 3rd place of course. Mainly because we were beginners. 1st was middle school students and 2nd was ELEMENTARY Students. Got me off guard. They were really good at it. I was amazed at how they were very good. The next day we went to Tivoli Park to play with the Saxophone Orchestra. Yes Saxophone orchestra. First time I heard of it. Really interesting. Very fun though. Got some great tips about saxophone and stuff. Very fun.
Some Chinese people came to Kojokan to teach us RONGO class. I don't know RONGO but I didn't understand a thing. On Monday more Chinese people are coming but this time they speak english so lucky me. hahahaha. Next week is our Sports Festival. I am doing a relay. Playing ponyo and doing a tug of war. I am also maybe running with a flute or my clarinet. The school got new clarinets and man do they ever sound wonderful. As well November 9th there is a exchange student get together to Kyoto I am looking forward to that. Next week I am going to visit a friend in Himeji. Also looking forward to that.
Today as a family we went to see a Cosmos garden in HOkubo. I didn't bring my camera but it was just a bunch of cosmos flowers. I don't particularly love flowers but for those who do, it is a great place to go. Also there were a lot of people on a date who went there or people who wanted to take family pictures. As well I got a chance to make Mochi there. Mochi is so delicious I want to eat more. Well tomorrow I is the Autumn festival so I am looking forward to that. I am going with my sax friends. hahaha.
C u next week hopefully...

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...

Limbo time

Right now it feels like I have gotten over jet lag I have just become slightly lazy for the past couple of days... Its going to be hard when I have to start my part-time job I have to wake up pretty early. Actually more than that I have to wake up early for my first semester as three times a week I have a class that starts at 8:30 in the morning. Now why I chose that class? It's because it was a requirement course so I kinda had to take that one. Of course they offered other times but it would interfere with another class I wanted to take. Anyways my new roommate are still trying to find a place in Victoria to rent. However we have made some slight progress a we have arrange for viewings at a couple different places already. I hope one of the houses we see next week follows through or nor its going to be hectic until august. Well worst come to worst school doesn't start until September so we have a little over a month left. I may be starting up catering again next week so I ...
