After Mt. Fuji

Hello All.
Sorry I disappeared for a while again.
I would like to answer a few questions before I start this post :D

  • I didn't know you had so many friends there already, you are going to have a great time!
  • Some of the friends I met up for birthday went to CSB/SJU as exchange students. Now I am one again. :) One of them actually goes to SJU. So I have known 1 for two years, 1 for one year, 2 for one semesters :P
  • Oh Lisa! How did you get yourself into this one? I can't believe you did this, how amazing! I'm sorry it was so scary and you puked and were alone for so long. Now you can tell everyone you climbed Mt. Fuji! What an amazing thing, Dad is very jealous! I hope you knew the girls you slept in the box with, that looked cozy.
  • It was a thing that the school arranged every year for the exchange students. But we could either participate it or not. When I send it my form saying I would like to go for all of these events..I have no idea. I heard it will be so tough, but I still have no clue. haha. It was amazing. And I have climbed it!!! Oh, those boxes can fit 4 girls no problem. But that night, we decided to fit one more girl in, so she won't be left out. But, I think I got sick because it was too cozy. hahaha.

School started after Mt. Fuji. Right after the trip. Everyone was not really. We have Japanese class everyday, with 2 or 3 more 90 mins class taught in English, on subjects like Econ, Business, International Communities, Cultures and Values and Literatures..


This shot was taken while I was walking back after school to the dorm. Our dorm which is a house in a really close by neighborhood. :)


This was taken another day, but it was the same area too.
Little elementary school girls with their really cute bag packs!


Here is shot of me and my classmates playing a Japanese game at the dorm. (Some Bunkyo students are taking the same classes with the foreign students...:D)


This is a picture of a Johnnie and 5 Bennie exploring Tokyo on a Monday. (NO Class!)

This is a bigger group of us, after registering for our Alien card, on the top level of the civic center.
Look at the Tokyo girls....

This set of pictures below were taken in my school area...


Japanese trees...


Japanese mailboxes..


Japanese bike..


Japanese electric poles...

Penny (she is from Hong Kong, and I met her at CSB) and I went to a really big Temple one day. It is maybe 20 mins away from the really busy shopping area. I am amazed how young people will go to the temple after a shopping, or young couple will go there for walks....just really interesting...



Here are all the wishes people wrote...


I will post another sets of pictures. Hold on...

I love the little backpacks, so much better then the cheap bags kids here carry around with Barbie or Spongebob on them. I love all the pic's. Is this the same Penny you were room mates with? The Japanese girls look tall and thin! Are you happy to be back in a busy city with lots of cool shopping? No cool shopping in Missoula!
