Been a crazy past two weeks. Monday (August 4) had a headache all day, then ended up with a fever Monday night. It broke when I was sleeping because I woke up drenched in sweat. I had the worst night of sleep that night, woke up every hour. I felt so heavy, I kept dreaming that I was carrying yukata's up Mt. Fuji. Went to work Tuesday, but still didn't feel to great, had a sore throat and so on. Had dinner at Zachary and Sophia's house that night. Was so good, and so much fun. BBQ ribs, macaroni and cheese, [View Full Entry]

Tuesday Haley Chelsea Amy C and I went to pepper lunch for dinner. YUM! Wednesday we went to Yokoska and met up with Navy men that Haley and Chelsea met. We were suppose to go to dinner on the beach but since we got lost and got there late we weren't able to since the beach was 1/2 hour away. Instead we went to a little bar and that owner was so cute checking up on us and making sure we were okay. Then they took us to a Korean BBQ were you get a raw plate of meat and cook [View Full Entry]

Had a great weekend! Friday Haley, Chelsea, and I walked around Hiro-o and found a little festival really close to our hotel, but I think it was a party oh well! They sold food so we ate! I spilled soy sauce all over me so I had to walk around with it on me, oh well. Saturday the 3 of us were lazy until we got onto the bus to Yokota at 1:30. Only $5 and it was supose to take 2 hours but it only took 1, so that was nice. Got there around 2:30 and went to the comissary [View Full Entry]

Crazy week so far. Tuesday we had 9 bathroom accidents... yes 9! Then Tuesday night Haley and I went to Hardy Barracks an Army base near work. Only thing there was a little store that is run by the same guy that owns the one at our hotel. He saw us there and offered us a ride back to the hotel ... nice because we really didn't want to walk! Kind of fun when people just know who we are now. Yesterday ... Wednesday, we only had 4 accidents but from the same kid - I really don't think he's potty [View Full Entry]

Had a busy week last week! Went to Shinjuku, a Japanese Festival at a Shrine, Akiabahra, the Imperial Palace, and a Baseball Game. It was fun! On Tuesday Cassie, Amy T. and I went to Shinjuku to see if we could get tickets for Kyoto for this weekend but they were all sold out except for the shin tickets (bullet train) and we want to take a bus there and a shin back to save money, so we couldn't go this weekend - we're going to go back next week and try to get tickets for the weekend before we leave.

Had a lazy night Friday, then went to Kamakura on Saturday. Were only there for a few hours (and it took 2 hours each way to get there) but it was well worth it. We saw the giant buddha and I got to go inside to see how it was made. Man was it like a sauna! Kind of cool, but not reallyThe rest went to another thing that I thought was just going to be a shrine so Chelsea and I didnt go, but it ended up being the 1 million buddhas. Oh well. Thought we were going to go [View Full Entry]

Thursday the 3rd, we went to Jusco which is like a walmart or target but like a mall too, because its one store but you pay for things at each section. it was 4 stories and had everything from food to electronics. I didn't buy anything just looked around. Took about 1 hour to get there walk and bus, on the way there was easy but on the way back we were riding the bus waiting for our stop when this guy came up to us and said we had to get off because it [View Full Entry]

Then bought a World Heritage Pass for $36 which included the train to Nikko and back and buses and entrance to all shrines. Took the train to Nikko which took 2 hours. We packed lots of jelly sandwiches on left over hot dog buns from the BBQ and some left over hot dogs for lunch so we didn't [View Full Entry]
