back to blogging...

wow, what a hiatus. no time for writing when i've been enjoying the sunny weather and the beaches. but soon (2 days!) it'll be back to school, bored at my desk...summer has been great. i managed to get to nagoya a few times, do lots of exploring and days at the beach, fireworks around the ken and summer festivals...my mum and bob's visit was great. we visited some really beautiful places in the alps, spent some time in nagoya, kyoto, nara...as well as the first five days or so around here, exploring.now i'm back in shib and they've left...lindsay's home and that's great too. i've visited her new house and it will now become the new destination for parties, bbq's...except for the small detail that it's in NAKAJO but what can you do...yesterday lindsay and i went to a beach in niigata and as were were lying there a couple of guys on jetskis approached us and started chatting...then invited us to a bbq at one of the bars down the beach. turns out they were about 15 of the albirex team. they gave us drinks and food, and we spent several hours chatting to them. they were super nice!!! especially the keeper...(photo below). two more days of freedom till school...gotta enjoy it!
