hey all,
It is hard to believe that I've been here almost 5 months already. I don't think my Japanese has improved much since school break started, at least in terms of new vocabulary and kanji, but I can speak it quite a bit better than before.
It finally looks like the outdoor club is planning some events, and I 've just posted my own trip to Utsunomiya to see that large statue as well. There is also a very cool miniature park another hour north of the statue that looks intriguing. It has 1/25th scale miniatures of lots of famous buildings around the world, for instance the Eiffel Tower, the Forbidden City, Ankor Wat, etc.
Cheers,
