It is!
I got connected Tuesday evening, and since then I have been very antisocial, only doing things that were already marked in my calendar. Also, I have already made a brief visit to amazon.co.jp and spent a big chunk of this month's pay check...
Although, to be fair, I tend to feel spending money on books is completely in order, and should be done a lot more often ;) At least I now have something to look forward to next week, a parcel with 10 (or something like that, I think it was more like 12-13) books in the mail! Aaah, can't wait!
Ponyo btw was absolutely wonderful, loved every minute of it, so cute! Have even seen it twice now =)
Yesterday I spent the evening learning 3 "dances" for the Chino festival taking place tomorrow. I am going with one of my 6th grade classes, I even have a t-shirt with the class number and school on it so that people will understand I belong in the festival parade and am not some random gaijin!
Last Saturday, I was just some random gaijin at the Chimosuwa festival. This did not prevent me (and my friend Nerida) from making a lot of friends in the parade after having been persuaded to join all these people pulling a boat from one shrine to another. It also did not prevent us from ending up in the local newspaper. In fact, I am pretty sure we only ended up in the local newspaper BECAUSE we were some random gaijin...
Will post some pictures from all my festival escapades, have already been to the one in Chimosuwa and one in Matsumoto, then there is the one here in Chino tomorrow, and 2 or 3 others before the end of my 2 week holiday! =)
Oh, btw, any movie tips?
