Dear Dad, if you come visit me, I will feed you Marie Sharp's

Here it is!

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow is a holiday, so lots of different things are going on in the city.  For example, an arts and crafts fair!  The guy in this next picture was making animals out of a kind of taffy-like substance.  I think in this picture he's making a Picachu.  I got a plant and some cards.  Also some pamphlets so I can order stuff online if I want.

Also there's an India festival going on down at Merikan Park that is apparently the biggest one in Japan.  I went both yesterday and today.  Had tasty curry, naan, lassi, and KEBABS!!!!  If I've ever told you about Ireland, you've probably heard about how much I love kebabs.  If this is new info, you should know that I really love kebabs.  I might go back tomorrow for another. 

Also bought some curry mixes.  Considered buying all kinds of spices, but decided I'm probably not going to do that much cooking, and I'll just get them as I need them, instead of buying them and potentially never using them.  Then I got some incense.  Why?  Cause it smells good.  When I got home I realized I have no way of lighting it...  Finally, got two giant containers of Chai mix!  I feel totally prepared for winter now!

Henna tattoo.  Strategically placed so it can be covered with long sleeves when I go in to work on Tues.  Notice how some of the dye has come off already?  Yeah, I'm pretty positive that it's going to be absolutely horrible getting it out of my white shirt. 

Henna after I removed the dye.  I had it on for an hour.  I guess longer would have been better.

My hair is not a greasy mess!  I got a lovely 20 min head massage and they rubbed oil into my hair.  If felt amazing.  I almost fell asleep.

In church I actually stayed for Sunday School (*gasp!*), and then went to a classical music concert they had.  They didn't run a shuttle to the station after the concert, so we had to walk.  It turns out one of the ladies goes to the same gym that I'm supposed to be going to.  Maybe knowing someone there will motivate me...  Also, this week is midterms, which means half days, which means more time to talk myself into going to the gym.

I feel like there was something else I wanted to talk about...  Not really.  Tomorrow I have big plans to hike Mt. Rokko.  At 5 am.  It'll be fun!
