Gawd today was great! I was planning to just take the day to clean up my room and settle a bit, but Sukyung-san who:s been helping me settle asked me to go to the Hanami. Which is kinda like a picnic every year at the sakura season. I met a lot of people today and ate BBQ’d shrimp, oysters, clamps, meat you name it.
Meeting people while eating delicious food, while watching beatiful sakura, gawd this is friggin great! So today a photo special of the Hanami enjoy!

Unrelated pictures have been posted at my flickr account. I made an easier link to the account: www.flickr.com/photos/chewster
On the japanese language front, I’m able to work my way through it. Now I’m here and actually using it I think the Japanese language isn’t actually that hard. As a westerner you’ll have to switch your way of making sentences, but in general if you go with the flow it will be allright. That’s because so much communication is just context based. Now I just gotta bump up my vocabulary.
Gawd I’m tired. Either it’s the hay fever or I’m starting to get a lil’ bit sick. either way I’m wasted.
Signing off and going to the bootleg mac,
