Tsu Festival, October 13, 2013

Yay! I was productive this weekend! Here is a look at what Tsu festival was like way back in October! It was a lot of fun and the food was awesome!



Another part of Tsu Festival that is very famous is it's Yosakoi dancing, so here is a video of some of the different Yosakoi dances I saw! They kind of made me think of marching band haha



Finally, at Tsu festival I won my wonderful pet turtle Taiko!! He is still alive and doing well!! :)

Nothing much

So... I have been doing a horrible job of keeping this blog! So, I thought I would post something to let you know that I have not given up! I have tons of video footage since October of Tsu Festival, Kyoto, Nara, and Vietnam that I really hope to put together eventually and post... just editing takes a lot of time.. and my computer doesn't like to not freeze every two seconds when my editing program is running... so, I'm working on them, just its a slow process, and the videos might not come out in chronological order, but something is better than nothing right??

Life update: These last few months I have traveled around a lot, and so I have had little down time. However, now it is winter in Japan, and it is cold... not as cold as most places in the US, but cold enough that I don't want to go for a 30 min bike ride to do anything. So, these days I'm just chilling at my apartment and going to work(which hopefully means I'll be more productive on my blogs and vlog than I have been).

Last a list of some things I miss about the US in no particular order:

-central heat
-cheese/milk
-having a car
-being able to see movies when they first come out in theaters(Japan gets them usually around 3 months after the US)
-netflix/hulu
-having an oven
-having a larger group of friends to hang out with
-my painting supplies
-fruit that isn't overpriced
