I went to see my great Aunt (Keiko) hoola dance in a singing/dancing performance thing. We (me and my grandma and grandad) had just left and was looking at an art exhibition in the same building when the earthquake started. The building felt as if it was still moving when the earthquake finished but I might have just imagined that. It was very ( Read more... )

Last weekend was a bit uneventful as everyone was so busy, my dad was away on a business trip, one of my friends was in Hawaii, and everyone else seemed to be otherwise engaged. I could have gone and done something on my own but it seemed a bit loner-ish so I decided to stay home and do some uni work instead and as it turned out it took me quite a ( Read more... )

The girl who's showing us around doesn't ( Read more... )

So.... Ive spent my first night in Tokyo in a hotel which was more than a 3 hour drive from the airport, had no internet access and was totally rubbish. I had my first day at uni today which was a total waste of time. I had to listen to some American man give a talk of "How to survive in Japan" for 2 and a half hours!!! Luckily we had a lunch break ( Read more... )

So,I'm leaving tomorrow and it totally doesn't feel like it. It just feels like I'm going on a bit of an extended holiday or something, I think I might be in denial. I really want to go but I also really wish I had more time to spend with everyone and wish that everything wasn't such a rush. I really probably shouldn't be on the internet but am ( Read more... )

I found this in my room during my MASSIVE sort out and I read it and it amused me muchly so I thought I'd share it with you all. It was a piece I had to do for English lit/lang A-level titled: Rhetorical Speech ( Read more... )
