Summer Vacation is drawing near...

I just discovered a nearby theater and I finally went to see the final Harry Potter in 3D. It was my first 3D experience and I quite enjoyed it, although Harry Potter's 3D was not anything too special. Next up, I am hoping to see Transformers 3, which came out in Japan today.



I recently went down to Kanazawa with Will to visit my friend Nicole. It was 10 hours by night bus but I was able to sleep 8 of the hours. I woke up and it was bright outside and we stopped at a rest center next to the ocean. We then met up with Nicole and went to this great restaurant with her local friend. After that we drove out to an island off the peninsula and went swimming in the ocean at midnight. It was beautiful. I took lots of pictures and documented the trip well, but Will accidentally deleted all of the pictures.

Oh well, here are two that I took after he deleted the rest.



Only 15 more days until Dustin comes to visit! I will make sure to take lots of pictures and save them to my computer so they don't get deleted.

This and That

You never know what you will see in Tokyo. For example, I saw Spider Man in Ikebukuro and Harry Potter in Shinjuku. This weekend I am going to visit Nicole in Ishikawa prefecture, which is on the west coast farther south than Tokyo. It's a ten hour bus ride down! But it should be refreshing to get out of the city for a little while.

I had to work on Saturday this week because we had a meeting to prepare for summer school, which is the last week of this month. After the meeting we went to a company sponsored dinner and the president and vice president of the company came and chatted with the new teachers individually.
It has been so hot and humid here recently. I just want to stay in my apartment and leave the air condition on all the time.
