Not through violence, but through the word alone

I'm so TIRED

I think I've walked more this week than in any other time in any other party of my life. Honto ni tsukaremashita!! On Saturday I had the shopping tour and we walked for 3 WHOLE HOURS!! It was not only that, When I arrived back to my dorm- I realised I had to go out and buy groceries, and I went with Antonio (from Peru) whom I just met that day on the shopping tour along with this guy from Afghanistan called something like 'Dorr-yush'... nice guys them. Anyway, that was an additional 2+ hours, I had to make so many stops because my legs were cramping up...eee!... I have so much to complain about but it all was really a lot of fun so... nyahh hehe

On Sunday I was out the entire day- I went with Orely(sp?- am still not sure) to Umeda, Umeda is like, the northern part of downtown Osaka City, it was about 20-25mins bus ride, and then 35-45mins by train... Pretty far *laughs* But I got to use the JR! So I'm happy XD Umeda is HUGE... so many people... so many.... Orely and I went there to look at electronic dictionaries (denshi jisho)... I'm thinking that I should get one but... We'll see. I told myself that I'd wait another 2 months so maybe I'll get it... at around June. I found foldable bicycles there too *hee* at one of the top top floors of Loft... It's 8 floors high (the 8th floor is the 7th floor to Brunei) and that place was just so cool XD

We didn't just go shopping, we also went to this temple... It took us nearly an hour's walk to get there! 'Cos there was this UBER long shopping gallery... you know, it's like one loooong road with shops on either side.... I think it was at least 3 kilometres long! I don't know, I could be exaggerating but it really took us an hour... maybe more to get to the temple (it was at the furthest end of the gallery). It took us even longer to get back to the Hankyu Station 'cos we got a little lost *haha* XD On the way back this old man tried to get us to have coffee with him! *laughs* (And of course I didn't go!!) It's a good thing they back off when you say 'no' just once haha~ ^_^

Anyway!! Time for pictures!

*Well* Hope you enjoyed looking at those pictures ^_^ I'll upload some more when I get the time~ That's pretty much it for now ^_^ There's a review test tomorrow so... I have to go and study... I'm still quite tired... mostly because I went out to the post office this afternoon *dances* - I know how it works now so I'll probably be visiting it again next week *hee* Oh, and Mum- remember you said that I should get a plant for my room... I found a place where they sell some plants, but I wasn't quite sure what sort would be suitable for rooms? LoL

I need to sleep early tonight- I got a whole day schedule for tomorrow, classes for morning (plus the review test), in the afternoon I got placement and orientation for Japanese Cultural Background and then there's Conversation class with my home-room teacher Yamakawa-sensei, and also an English Test for everyone... *hopes I'm not required to take this particular elective*
