It's been a while!I keep thinking about what I should post, but I always forget to do so. Sorry!
And today's post is a little short
I went to a ramen place near my house. From the outside it doesn't really look like a ramen restaurant, but unexpectedly it is really good. And it is apparently well known.
I recommend the miso ramen!
The picture is dark, but it really is delicious!
Hello
On Saturday I went to a Halloween party in Osaka with my friend.
Of course I went in a costume. The party was at a fashionable restaurant by the river in Temmabashi.
It was a lot of fun
My friend did my hair and makeup
We played a game. I talked to a lot of people. I had some good food. I drank a lot (LOL)
I was also in the costume contest
It was so much fun
And I made some new friends
Hello Yesterday I went to a drag show in Kyoto with my friends. One of my friends is moving to Tokyo today so it was lie a farewell party. I often hung out with her, stayed at her ace, ate out, etc., I also stayed at her place last night. We got back just after three and stayed up for at least another hour talking. And before 6:30 her boyfriend called. The two of them fought for about 30 minutes. All I could do was sit there quietly and listen. It was really awkward. I really wanted my friend to enjoy her last day until she had to leave but.... I don't know what will happen with the two of them but it looks bad. In the end I got less than two hours of sleep. Needless to say I am ready for bed now.....
At least the club was fun! I have a lot of good memories with her so I think it is OK.
BTW, I am not posting a picture of myself this time. My clothes are too much for this blog. LOL
Hello!
Soon it will be HalloweenI LOVE Halloween.Actually, I like it more than I like Christmas.
Every year at elementary school, I do a Halloween lesson. The 5th years make a monster. It's actually a review game. The students listen to an English sentence, choose their favorite thing, and then draw a monster. For example, if the student likes blue, they draw four eyes.
The 6th graders do a Halloween quiz and origami.
It's always a lot of fun.
This year I took a few pictures.
Some of the kids are really talented!!
Recently I have been into Zara. it's a really fashionable brand. I have bought a dress, a skirt, shirts, etc., It seems that corduroy is fashionable now. So I bought some corduroy items.
Today I took the afternoon off. So I went to Kyoto.
I went to a museum by myself.
I love history and museums. Actually, I majored in history. I studied it through grad school. One day I would love to work at a museum.
Today I went to the Washington National Gallery exhibit. It was for Impressionism and post-Impressionism so I really enjoyed it.
After wards I went to Starbucks and sat by the river with my drink.
Then I met up with my friend and saw Captain America. Action movies are the best!.
Then we had dinner at a great restaurant.
I will get home late tonight. I will just have to work through my sleepiness tomorrow.
Today I bought an iPhone, but I don't really know how to use it yet. It will take time, I gues.
I can type English faster than on a regular cell phone, but it feels like I am slower in Japanese.
For now, I need to look for applications to study Japanese. I really have to study more.
Last week I went to Tokyo Disney Land and Tokyo Disney Sea with my friendI have been to Disney World (the one in Orlando, Florida), but it was my first time for the ones in Tokyo.
It was a lot of fun!
Tokyo Disney land used the Magic Kingdom (part of Disney World) as its model, so I had been on most of the attractions
But for Disney Sea, the only one I had ridden was The Tower of Terror.
My friend always screams really loudly on rides, so the pictures are always hiliarous. I usually spend most of the ride laughing at her
I LOVE Chip 'n DaleI have wanted a cute cell phone strap or stuffed toy.
At Disney Sea I saw some people with huge stuffed toys. I didn't see them at any of the stores. But! I saw some people playing a game and walking away with them. So, they are prizes!
I didn't have a lot of confidence, so I thought it would be best if my friend tried for me, too.
The game has four balls. You roll them and try to get them to stop on one of the gold plates.
I went first. My first ball was too strong and fell off the back. My second ball wasn't strong enough. My third was PERFECT!
I got Chip!!
I let my friend use the last ball to practice with. She threw it too strongly. Then, it was her turn. And, on her first try, she landed on the gold plate
I got Dale!!
Thanks to my friend I was able to get both of them!!
Everyone around us got really excited too(LOL)
I'm so happy now (LOL)
One try is 500 yen. It's so much cheaper than buying them at the store!
We were so lucky!!
By the way, looking at the picture, my face is so small!! (LOL)
Today I went to the English Oratorical (Speech) Contest. My student came in third at the block contest. Today we are at the Precture one so the level is much higher.
I don't know what will happen.
Another teacher said my student improved from last time. Yay!
