Where are you now karmie?

I know I haven't really updated... at all but after coming back from Junsu's solo concert in Nagoya, I needed to type out all my feels. Since I'm not part of the official fan club, getting tickets close to Junsu is always hard. Come to think of it, every time I go to see him (except for the very first time when they came to Vancouver), I never got to see him up close. This time was no exception. I was up in the standing area. However Nippon Gaishi Hall is wonderful. It's big enough to fit quite a bit of fans but it's small enough to see the artist on stage well enough. I was seated on the left side so sometimes the location of the screens were weird because I got a side view of everything. Let's start from the very beginning I should say. I went to the first day of the concert. 11/28. The concert started right at 5pm. Leave it to the Japanese to start concerts right on time. The set list for the concert was: 1. Out of Control 2. Turn it up 3. 알면서 4. ...

I haven't really updated this blog since I arrived in Japan it seems. Unlike my Korea trip, where as an exchange student, I didn't really have that many commitments besides studying and attending classes. Being on the other side of the school system definitely makes one busier. I have been travelling around Japan and even returned to Korea for a couple of days during the last 4 months of last year here. Although I can't say I have completely gotten used to living in Japan I can say in a way that I am at a comfortable period right now. Of course certain kinks need to be straighten out but that's with every thing with living in a different country, especially in the first year. Wakayama has been really nice. Many of my friends have decided to come and visit me here. To think that I was nervous about driving in the beginning, now I'm driving everywhere! Not only have I driven to Mount Koya I have also driven to the next prefecture to Osaka and Nara. Taking my friends ...

Monday: We started the day with practicing driving on the other side of the road and learning how to get to the office, our schools and back to our apartments. Although it was nerve wracking at first, as long as I put my watch on my left hand, I was for the most part okay. Only once did I accidentally go to the right. However, good thing there were no accidents in the process of my mistake. After a quick lunch, we switched driver seats and drove to see Oishi Mountain. Although the drive up was windy and narrow. HORRIBLY narrow. Picture below. When we were at the top, it was worth it. The view was absolutely spectacular. After taking some pictures at the very top, we went to log cabin type place where we enjoyed some Mikan Juice. Mikan or I think a certain type of mandarin orange. Wakayama prefecture is very famous for its mikan. The owner also gave us some watermelon as a service as well. Tuesday: Since school hasn't started yet, The other ALT and I have...
