Why are we afraid of the dark? Like the way we are afraid of the unknown? I went out walking last night, around 6:30pm. It was dark and cold. But, I loved it! The serenity and calmness of the quiet streets. The stars twinkling above, the fresh wind blowing in my face. Felt so free and relaxed. I was so happy just to be...

Autumn/Winter has definitely made its way to Japan. The temperature has dropped dramatically over these past few days. I'm going to have to redecorate my house and bring out the rugs and the kotatsu (warm table).

Shops are bringing out their xmas decorations and selling xmas cards...wow, another year. Time just seems to fly. What should I do for my xmas break?

It's the weekend again, I'm going on a trip with two of my students mothers. They're around 40something years old. They can't speak English, and I can't speak Japanese. It'll be an interesting trip for sure! We're going on an Onsen trip (Hot Springs) So, we'll be onsen hopping instead of bar hopping. Looking forward to it ^_^ I'll try and take some pics of us in the onsen..hehee...
