Hello

So updating again….

today is saturday…. or sunday as it is past 12 but who is counting hehe….

Yesterday i was in class and then i get a message from KEVIN and he says you want to go to osaka and i am like sure… so we text message for a bit during class. I am really loving this text mesaging hehe… It helped to kill time during what would normally be a boring class. I do not know… i need to really build a schedule as the classes for the most part here are very simple. Most are intro classes for topics that i have been studying for 2 years now, so it is some what redundent. But the logic is that you should be enjoying japan more and studying japanese… at the moment i feel i do not have a pattern yet and i am going from thing to thing without any real chance to relax.

so hopfully tomorrow, i will plan out my schedule, or a rountine of some sorts that i can follow… i know Mariko would be happy with that as i have no idea on when to chat to her, so it results in chaos hehe… I still love her

But yah… yesterday… i went to Osaka with Mohammed and Kevin and we met Rie, who was one of my tour guides in the earlier trips to Osaka. She is a very nice and friendly girl, and happy to have met her. Mohammed was funny… he was very excited to purchase his digital camera, so all along the train ride to meet Rie he would talk about it, and once we met her almost the first thing after nice to meet you was “where can i buy my camera” hehe… so we went to the electronic shop and he purchased his camera. They have such an amazing selection there, i hope to pick up a smaller model for fun shooting… I seriously need to read my book on it more…. taking photos that is….

Then we went to dinner at some italian resturant… which was really nice, though they brought my pasta way to early, like 10 minutes before the other people got there dish, so i had to wait for 5 minutes, then they all said i should eat. I was hungry plus i did not want my meal to cool down so i had to eat early…but i was still hungry when i was done, so i shared a pizza with mohammed, which was good as i was not to hungry for a full meal, but hungry enough that i needed to eat…

so we eat and later on one of Rie’s friends, Lisa came and we met her, she seemed like a very sweet girl, she wanted to learn english so we chatted at the resturant for what seemed like 3 hours or so, it was nice converstation, i forgot for a second about all the stuff in my life and just enjoying a simple converstation with friends….

But they had to leave as both of them were busy (lisa and Rie) and so we made our treak back to Hirakata, it was not a problem. I love metro systems so it is fun to nagivate between the lines and such. As we had to switch from the metro to the Keihan line, which is more of a inter-prefectural line, it goes between Osaka and Kyoto and stops at Hirakata which is in the middle… which is nice… it is not too expensive.

So that was my yesterday….

I am finally enjoying japan, i mean i did… but i am enjoying hirakata, though i need to go out into japan more, i still feel to not japan yet… but may be that is because i have so many international friends, that it is not like going from Canada where you would have all canadian firends to another country. I have spent a majority of my studies in such situations, so the beauty of an international environment has worn off, and i am used to it…

I am good… tomorrow will be a simple day, of cleaning and studying…

take care,
pat
