fish and ninja







Vacation with Tiffany and Carolin, before they headed off to Osaka! Much of this was spent at Taiko no Tatsujin.....



Kabuki

Watching Kabuki for Japanese Dance class.

Culture day


Cooking International food for culture day in class. I seriously almost cried seeing an oven after so long. Our group made fruits sushi and a German baked pasta dish, Spatzle. FAIL on Australia for having no tradtional food!!! Please note Joanna from Texas DEEP FRYING HAM SANDWICHES.

Tea




As an extra class, our Japanese Dance teacher, Nakamura-sensei, took us to a tea ceremony performed by her friends. N-sensei is the kindest teacher I've ever had. Of course she's a Cancer, ahaha


Birthdays and haircuts




Summer fruit

My god this apple was big

Ghibli Museum time! Ghibli Museum is fiddly in that it only opens on Saturdays, and you have to book in advance. We cleaned out our local Lawsons ticket machine to get everyone in.
