Catchup!

Catchup time! I know I know, I'm late with everything, so this is a catch up post. I'm just going to do a photo summary of what I've been up to, and then hope to keep up with posting so I don't keep lagging behind. Also, if you DO read this blog, let me know. Would be much appreciated. Just a short comment, anything, just for me it would be nice to hear.

Here it goes!

March 19th: Daan in Nagasaki! (eating home made Cheesecake ;) )






March 20th: REALLY big ice cream! Fun with Gerrie, Masa, DAAANNNN en Haru.






March 22: Daan gone, Risa in town!!! Risa a friend I know from Nagoya, who now lives in Osaka, came to visit with a few of her friends, here's us on top of Mt. Inasa = very cold! But beautiful Nagasaki night-time view!

March 25th: Taiko debut! I had my very first Taiko performance (as in I played myself!) It was a little unexpected (they forgot to tell me I'd be playing haha) but it was lots of fun! Was in honour of the start of the Sakura season. Unfortunately it rained so it wasn't outside like it was supposed to be, but nonetheless very fun!


March 29th: Went to see Deja Vu (the movie) and bought new shoes. Guess which ones are mine!?




March 31st: Nono bowling!! There was a bowling competition for kids, and Nonoka entered. She may not have been the best bowler (barely being able to carry the ball) but she definitely had the biggest fanclub!



April 3rd: Hanami! It was Sakura (cherry blossom) season in Nagasaki, and Sachi took us for a Hanami (lit. flower seeing) trip. This means picknicking under a flowering cherry tree! :D


April 7th: Ioujima Island; Mariko, Nessa, Maarten, Andy and I took a boat to a nearby island called Ioujima. It was very very nice, and am definitely going again! Total holiday feeling, right before class started again :)



Easter: no real easter here, but they do have very cute bread~!








At random other things I've done: Started class again (woo), started teaching English every week to a elementary school kid, started going to the gym, Assisted with interviews at the University for a new staff member for the international center, had drinks with friends, went into town for some shopping, met my new tutors! (yes I have 2! Erika and Miho - though Miho I haven't met yet) andd.... it started raining in Nagasaki.

cheers!
