Saturday
John, chase and i went to nagoya castle in the afternoon to check it out, it waas pretty cool but with the inside was more authentic and not changed into such a museum, like wish some of the rooms were kept intact or something, they did have an art dispal however which i liked a lot, it was sliding doors and folding screens with paintings of tigers and some with dragons. for the most part they were really cool. not many pictures from inside the castle though, not much allowed in the was of pictures in there. After that we had walked to nagoya station to check it out, there are a lot of resturaunts and other stores but being a saturday it was super crouded, attached below is a picture of a crispy cream donughts shop in the station that had a line to get in easily over 50 people, it was split into two lines, fist one of those i've seen here though. after that i took a train home and they kept on exploring, i was pretty exhausted, later that night i went to kanayamaa to watch more preformers outside the station and play a couple arcade games and grab some food.
Today:
Study, do laudry, clean.
I have also signed up for a home stay with a family that is all paid for by the school and i'm excited about that. also i am trying to plan some trips to other places in japan, hoping to go to kyoto, osaka, and definatley going to tokyo sometime soon and will most likely be my first trip once i find an open weekend. other than that it is just class and trying to keep myself busy while i am over here.
It's fun
