Hi!
Hum... I really have too much pictures today, but oh well! Let's separate the weekend in three, or else I'll just lose myself!
Friday!
Friday was awesome! During the day the French girls and I went around the campus to take some pictures... this campus is really something! At night we were celebrating Aya and Mario's birthday, so we all went to karaoke (yes, again! I love NUFS, I get to go to karaoke more that I ever expected!) Absolutely everybody was there, and it was a lot of fun. I think I found my karaoke partner in Owen, it's just too much fun.
Saturday
Saturday was the Hanami day! Hanami can be translated more or less by 'Cherry blossom viewing'... I would add 'and a excuse to drink too much sake' Really, Yanick for example went to a hanami in Tokyo and he said that it was worst than Woodstock... The hanami on saturday was organised by the Japanese Club, a group that likes to meet Gaijin to make friends and speak English... they always organize activities and invite us. So we went to that park and had lunch, chat and we also played Bingo...
I just couldn't think about drinking... my stomach was still dizzy from the karaoke... I still drank a bit... it was free... the threes were nice but it was a pretty gloomy and windy day so it was less impressive... Yeong Kyong and me we went crazy and rolled down a hill.. that was fun. Then we went back home. Hung, a really nice Vietnamese guy, invited me to go on a trip with Vian and Alex after the Kyoto day. We're going on the 28th, but while other people are gonna get back on the same day, we are gonna stay there and visit Universal Studios amongst other things... it's gonna be fun! Then we got back to I-House...
Hum... but the day took an other turn when Julia had the sublime idea to go buy plenty of beers and make a party at I-House with all the Proxy and the Japanese club persons. It was 3h00 PM... So yes, we began a party at 4h in the afternoon, played beer pong until 7h00PM... I played with Goto San, the caretaker here at I-House. Oh that was fun... and we won once, almost two... I had to drink
more glasses than her... she's not young!!! I realized that day that Beerpong can be dangerous.... I played three times that day... there's no way you can know for sure how many beers you just drank... So when at 7h they kicked us out of I-House, I was already drunk... and we decided to go guess where, at the karaoke (AGAIN!!!) It was fun again. After we went to some guy appartment at Proxy to continue the party... it was 2h AM... We danced a bit and then I slept at Proxy. I had just drank from 4 in the afternoon to 1 on the morning... and I realised that I haven't had dinner...
Sunday
The day after I had to leave Proxy at 10 AM because me and Hung, Vian and Alex were going to Nagoya Castle at 12. I was not in full shape but still allright. I guess I'm becoming better at not having hangover... I never made party that much in all my life... Well I guess the partys rythms gonna slow down since classes are really beginning this week... Anyway we left for the Castle and it was plenty of Sakura three. And
it was such a nice sunny and warm day, it was just great, the threes were awesome. We took so many pictures!!! The castle dated from Edo and was pretty cool. We came back at around 6PM and I was just hoping that nobody would want to have a party because I just couldnt drink anymore... but everybody was studying and calm, it was a nice evening.
Well that's pretty much it, I hope you're all doing well. I miss Quebec and you, thinking about you often,

p.s. I'll put the pictures of Nagoya Castle on another blog... too much pictures on this one!
