Late with updating here as usual... Friday, and I figured I should get this done =='
Had kanji test this Thursday, but I think it went fine. Could write and read everyone of them, now it's only left to see if it was correct haha.
Looking forward to Friday next week by the way! The school is taking us out to Nagazaki!! Yay!! A three-hours bus ride from here, but I'm really looking forward to it! Not too sure how much we will actually see of it considering we're going 8 am and will be back the same day around 6 pm, but oh well.. Really want to get around this country before I have to leave. Spring holidays is soon here -in late April I think- and me and some friends have been talking about maybe going to Tokyo for a week or two. Will dissapear a hell of a lot of money only for that though, so nothing is decided yet. But for sure I want to go there while I'm here in Japan, but brobably there will only be money for one visit. If I go during summer there's the possibility of climbing mt Fuji, and that's something I really want to do that as well. Will have to do some thinking I guess :/
And here comes a few photos from the Setsubun! The funny thing is that it's also kind of a celebration for spring to come, and actually, since February the 3rd -setsubun- the weather got way better :D And about ten degrees warmer! ^^ Today is kind of gloomy weather though, but at least not as cold as it has been before.
This setsubun thingey was recorded and sent live via a channel (dunno which one), but since it was live I of course couldn't watch it myself on TV ;) Man, that's the fourth time I'm on Japanse TV since I came here four months ago hahaha...
So here I am, beauuuutiful, am I not...? What this god is all about I'm not really sure, but I was told by a random guy standing in the crowd by the temple that my club was something in the lines of an almighty club. I did some research later and found out this guy is some kind of god for agriculture and wealth or something like that. Read here if you wish.. />http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/daikoku.shtml
And just because I want to show you all the clothes underneath the clothes... But it was really fun being dressed up in all these really japanese clothes!! Even though it's a mans clothes... ^^'
A bit from the temple. It's actually really pretty there.
A looot of people came to this mame-maki. We did this every hour, and each time tons of people gathered!! And went kind of crazy when they started throwing out the bags of sweet beans to the people. Means good fortune to catch them, so the otherwise extremely polite and humble japanese showed us they've got some sharp elbows if they want to. Kind of fun to see XD
