Sooo....yesterday, our group went to Fujikyu Highland. Let me tell you, they have the most awesome rollar coasters! Definitely some of the best. Here's a few pictures from the bus and some from the rollar coaster:
First glimpse of Mt. Fuji!
Oooh, Ahhh.
Um....hehe? This was the 4th time we rode this rollar coaster, so we planned ahead for the picture. ;)
This is my teacher. His name is Mr. Boiney. He likes rollar coasters.
:D
See Mary Ann's mouth? (She's wearing the blue hoodie.) Yeah. Wow!
Hanna and me on the bus. We had a great time, to say in the least. We rode one of the tallest, and one of the fastest rollar coasters in the world. I'd say that's a pretty cool feat, wouldn't you? It was fun to see the teachers more carefree and relaxed. But today it was back to work for everyone.
Guess what? I ate some octopus last night. Okaa-san was smart though. She didn't tell us it was octopus until after we took the first bite. ;) It really wasn't too bad. Kind of like ham with a bit of a fishy taste. They also managed to get me to eat some raw fish the other day...whew. It took everything I had to chew and swallow. But they do have some pretty awesome food here, (besides the raw fish.) ;)
Today was a rehearsal day, and Hanna and I each practiced for 4 hours. Yuka also had a rehearsal at 6:30. But they were running behind schedule, so we had to wait for an hour or so. I tried to do some homework, but ended up talking to some of the other students instead. Oh well. :)
It's interesting to see how the other students are doing with their room mates. Some clicked right away and seem like best friends, but some just don't quite match up. Hanna and I get along well, we have our differences but we try hard to accomodate each other. ;)
That's all for now. Mata ne! Oyasuminasai!

Mr.Boiney.....wow hehe :D So did the car of the roller coaster you were in have something that printed out the picture after the ride or something? Looks like a lot of fun! :D
Those roller coasters look like so much fun! Mt. Fuji is beautiful.
I was working with your mom at the Thrift shop today (Tuesday). She said you were really enjoying your trip. My favorite meal when I traveled to Japan on business was very thin slices of meat, vegetables, etc. that you cooked yourself. A large pot of boiling water was in the center of the table and you just cooked as much as you wanted. At the end, the water was boiled down to a soup. I wish I could remember the name of this kind of eating…
