hallo there..

well hallo there,

 sorry for not posting that often

i've been here more than 1 month , and I still really enjoy ,

every day is a gift for me.

tomorrow i have a day off because the typhoon will come (don't worry I am save at home xP)

a lot of things happend these days,

it is usual to celebrate the succes of bunkasai with your classmates so i went with my classmates to karaoke ,

that was really fun and again a new experience

in Japan karaoke is very popular you hire a karaoke room for various time which is not very expensive.

then you have a huge range of different songs where you can choose from (even german and french songs xP)

 the time flies by pretty easily while doing karaoke and it is a lot of fun

after singing karaoke  i went to a yakiniku restaurant with my class ,obviously yakiniku is like a bbq but than inside xD it is delicious and a lot of fun xD.

with the girls i took purikura , which is popular among young people , it is the Japanese style of fotoshopping i guess

also I have a special schedule ,that means I am not attending to some subjects , 

for example history is very difficult for me to understand (unfortunately it use to be my favorite subject), instead of those subjects i will study in the library ,also i have on monday and tuesday special Japanese classes and on thursday as wel , which is pretty nice,

but my Japanese is still pretty bad, sometimes it is very hard to talk Japanese instead of english but i will manage it ^_^ ,also i keep a Japanese diary , i am not writing every day in the diary but more than 3 days in the week is ok by me ^^ , i think a diary is pretty useful , you can see your improvement and also read back what you  what you did in japan.

But of course the question is , can i ' think' already in Japanese ? not fluently, I am thinking now in 3 different languages  (english , dutch, Japanese) which is sometimes pretty disturbing for me.

also a big thing what got me buzzy was finding a club,

 i've been watching kyudo , which is a sport so it is serious business , it looks fun but first you have to learn the basics which can take 4 month which is a shame because I am here for only 11 months

also day practice 6 day per week , a friend of me invited me to join the volleybal club, which is also VERRY tough  , the team is very nice but the training individual was very tiring.

the 3rd club was the right one , it is a cultural club ,better know as the animation club.

the moral of the club? drawing, gaming, and talking about anime which is pretty amusing and very fun .

and for those for would like to know , yup i shopped in the centre of Chiba city ,

i heard a lot of complaints about clothes prices but they actually look like the dutch prices 

prices are the same as dutch clothes prices(which is pretty expensive) so their was no big shock fortunately haha.

i bought a few things which you may find on my blog later,

what keeps me buzzy these days?

on Thursday I will go on a 3 day school trip to Hiroshima ,I will go by Shinkansen i really look forward to the trip ^^.

also  i might going to try okonomiyaki which is traditional Japanese food which can be as best describe like a pancake with pork and vegetables and sometimes seafood , every area in Japanese has a different okonomiyaki so is the  Hiroshima style okonomyaki with ramen noodles 

p.s if you are friends with me on facebook (which the most of you are) you might have seen the most of them, i also added photos which a made 2 weeks ago when i went cycling with my host family around town

purikura<3
