So it's once again time for my monthly update! November was a great month, I managed to complete all my presentations for my classes, fly through midterms, and still have a fantastic time with my friends! Apart from the usual escapades of going to karaoke and izakayas in Shinjuku and the like I'm again expecting to have some great new adventures in the coming month!
I've been busy planning for my class's trip to Nikko and Ashio which should include visits to Onsen, a national park, temples, and a museum! We're writing our own guidebooks for the event so it's personalized to what we'll see on the trip, which does mean a little more work but it's probably worth it. I'm really excited to see a new area of Japan and learn more about Japanese culture and religious practices. Plus, it gets fairly cold in the area so I might get to see some snow!
However, I'm also really looking forward to my upcoming vacation in December, which I plan to kick off with a visit to Tokyo Disney Sea http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/

"Time of Your Life"
on the 24th with a friend from Keio University. I've been wanting to go see Tokyo's version of Disney since I got here and I plan to take tons of pictures to let ya'll see it too!
I've also recently taken up a new hobby that's proving to be fun and challenging...bouldering! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouldering)

It's really a great way to get some exercise and I can go alone or with friends and have an awesome time! Additionally, since there is a rocknasium in Ogikubo http://www.pump-climbing.com/
it's also really convenient because it's on my train route home which makes it easy to find time for. It's awesome though because what with walking almost everywhere, eating healthier than I could ever hope to in America, and now literally climbing walls; I really am getting in the best shape of my life!
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, I know I am and I still can't wait to open presents from my family on the 25th! Until next time or mata ne!
