Time for an Update - Summer Vacation

I have to admit, my rate of posting on Blogger lately certainly leaves a lot to be desired. So now it's time for me to start letting everybody know what has been happening in my world.

Summer holidays
- unfortunately I didn't make it to the Sumo in Nagoya this year but we did get an invite to eat Chanko Nabe at a local Sumo stable - it was great.
- the trip to Vietnam and Cambodia was great but "bloody" tiring. We were lucky to travel with some wonderful people in both countries and I must admit it was great to talk to some native English speakers other than Mel.
- when we got back from out trip we went to a small Bon Odori (Bon dance) in Inuyama. It was a good night and I have been invited to do some taiko (Japanese drumming) training for the Bon Odori next year.
- we also went with friends to the Gujo Hachiman Bon odori. The Gujo Bon Odori is one of the biggest traditional dance festivals in Japan.
- other than that I put a bit of time into my fitness blog.
- so all in all it was a huge summer vacation.

That will do for now, and I will be uploading some photos soon.

Summer Vacation Countdown

I have to admit I have been slack about posting for the last few weeks. It is coming up to summer vacation here in Japan which means for me - 7 weeks off from school.

Many of the students however, when asked about what they are doing over the break answer - study very hard. At the school Mel works they actually have summer classes. Luckily for us, Mel doesn't have to teach so it's off to Vietnam in less than two weeks. (^_^)
