I had an amazing time

I had a definitely amazing time in Japan.
I am now back in Canada and I didn't want to go back. It was very fun that I am quite sad that I had to leave. Yet I am quite glad that I am back here in Canada. I get to see friends and family again. Although I don't get meet them for a while.
Before coming to Canada I had to pack for a while. I actually fought with it so that it would enter. It all went smooth with all the bullet trains and the airplanes and immigration. I am quite happy. Nothing big there. I had farewell parties 3 times in a day and I bawled my eyes out. I recieved so many CDs and rilakuma stuff. If you know what that is. If not you can search it on google.
So I miss Japan already. I can't really communicate with my family right now as well as I hoped. And I am scared for school. I think I am going to have more Canada culture shock than I had in Japan. OH well. I'll work hard on it.
I don't want to forget how to speak japanese, english or indonesian. I can't speak it anymore.
This is one of the challenges when you are trying to master tons of languages. you just forget the other. So from now I have a lot of unpacking to do. So gotta go. Thank you. Till now you have read my journey. Today is the last entry for my highschool japanese diary. Maybe I'll write again if I were ever going in University. maybe. hahahaha
Thank you

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...
