ayana, saki, misato, and chihiro. on this "thing" at the playground at the castle

they played an impromptu game of tag on this "thing". in japanese of course. why speak english at english class?

naomichi and the spherical merry go round

mana vs. the spherical merry go round

today we went to kaminoyama-jo because the rooms in the community centre were all occupied with a trade fair or something like that. it was hot hot hot! (but i bought them all ice cream after). and then i went for lunch and had cold ramen! the weirdest thing ive eaten here. aside from chicken skin on a stick. though there was cartilage pieces in the ramen (i picked them out). i also went up to the nanyo-shi sky park (南陽スカイパク). the view was stellar. but a thunder storm was rolling in. so bad pictures. i will go up there at sunset and take pictures. i wonder who i can convince to go up there with me to makeout and watch a sunset..hmm... (the crafty weekend begins!)
