Well Golden Week has begun, which means holidays for almost all! Tomorrow i am even off to Kamakura for a night with Shumpei and i will get to see all it has to offer. I will have my camera ready for all those temple shots….when living in Japan you have to get used to photos of temples and shrines taking up a lot of space on your computer.
So far in golden week i have had yakiniku dinner with shumpei, a girls night in with Nic and Cat, bought a TV and a very cheap table for the tv (and it turns out i can’t use if because it is too flimsy…and i wasn’t thinking about earthquakes and such when i bought it although turns out i should of been) luckily it was only about 15 dollars! (i know you are thinking…what did i expect from a table stand thing that cheap) so i will have to go get another one. Oh and i have planted tomato plants and also some strawberry seeds in a potplant on my very small apartment veranda. This is them now…in Autumn hopefully it will have fruit!
I know they look slightly pathetic at the moment but give me some time. I thought maybe plants would make my apartment more homely. Not that it isn’t. In fact i love my apartment…but aren’t plants something every apartment should have?
Last night i also went to meet up with James to watch some aussie rules. The St Kilda game because he is a fan… We only saw the second half, but it was good to watch even if in australia i don’t usually care about football at all. Bit of an uproar at the end when it was called a tie…i do not know enough about AFL to comment!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
