Hey everyone!
So, there are the pictures I promised to put up. I went on an excursion last weekend by myself to go see a temple (that is much easier to get to than the last temple I went to) and I figured, the temple is along the way to the river, so I should go see the river, right? I was so excited to get out of my house to go exploring that I didn't check the topography of the region I was going to go exploring in. The terrain was pretty flat all along the way going to the temple, so I took my pictures and decided to go see the river after! I noticed I was going downhill, but didn't think much about it. It was only about halfway down a monster hill that I realized that the uphill hike would suck to climb/bike back up. But...even though it was going to be a pain (especially on a mamachari bike), I didn't want to wimp out and turn back...and I'm really glad I didn't. The river was really big and beautiful! I didn't stay too long because the huge spiders creeped me out. >__> There were also no sidewalks, so I was afraid of being run over. Sometimes, Japanese drivers aren't the greatest...
I also found a park on the way back! It was right next to the temple that I went to. In between the temple and the playground/park, there was a really creepy forest (made even creepier by the sounds of the cicadas, the huge spiders, and the setting sun/increasing amounts of darkness)! After seeing that, I think I can understand why the Japanese are so good at horror manga/films, etc.
On a side note, just before I wrote this, two girls came up to me and introduced themselves in English! They were so cute. I thought they just wanted to say hi, but they also asked how I was doing, which made my day. I don't think they're in any of my classes, but I'll do my best to remember their faces/names. One introduced herself as Saki, and the other shy girl said her name was Moe (pronounced Mo-eh, not Mo lol). It's little things like this that keep me going when I feel lonely or don't have such good days...
Well, without further ado, here are my pictures! Until next time!
