Oh i forgot to write about the first real earthquake i experienced. I was teaching some time last week when suddenly the table started shaking, so i looked at my student strangely thinking she was shaking the table when in true fact it was actually an earthquake! When i finally realised what it was, i was a little freaked out but it was a cool experience. Buildings in Japan are built to withstand earthquakes and shake/sway when they happen kinda to absorb the force of it...hard to explain...but yeah it was a pretty big quake, especially up in Niigata...I have a friend up in Niigata. Lucky for her and her family, the earthquake didn't affect them.

Here are some photos taken the last few days...

On Monday I met up with Yuuko again in Tokyo. We went shopping the whole day and grabbed some extreme bargains. I ended up buying 2 dresses, 1 skirt, 1 pullover one piece thingymajiga, 2 jeans, 5 t-shirts, earrings, a ring, and 3 tops for gem and it didn't cost me a fortune coz everyting was practically 50-70% off except for the jeans...i love everything i bought. Yuuko bought heaps too...but more worky/feminine stuff...mine were more casual...anyways fun fun day and i even got to eat those yummy eggy ramen noodles at Shibuya...mMmmm...EGGSsss!!!! =)

Oh and getting into the whole facebook thing now...but i still dont know how to use it...
