Happy Bonfire Night!!

Hey guyz

Feels like I've not written a post for a while, thought I'd update yas! So today back home it's bonfire night!! AKA. Guy Fawkes Night, as what it basically is, is celebrating Guy Fawkes' plans going to shit. Although I think nowadays it just..is seen as a big arse bonfire and some pretty fireworks..! In fact, if I was home right now I'd be buzzing to go to a bonfire and see some fireworks later on. Alas, it is not to be, as here in Japan (and most places ha) it is not a thing. I recently did some "research" (lol I Wiki'd it) and found out that bonfire night is actually officially celebrated in South Africa. Also the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (I have a Labrador..I miss him) also has something of the like on 5th Novemeber! Remember remember the 5th of November.....

Anyways, HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT PEOPLE I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING FUN BACK HOME WHILE IM HERE DOING WORK AND WRITING THIS BLOG, BONFIRE NIGHT-LESS. Teehee. 

Nah, it's cool guys, I went to a fire festival recently so it's kinda similar. Right? I mean I'm pretty happy being in Japan right now. Well..I mean in general yeah (for those wondering....) I am really enjoying it here!! I'm still coming across things that are like "culture shock" and occasionally wish I was back home but it passes and I end up going to a Takoyaki party or a local festival, or Karaoke..you get it haha. Gotta say still getting used to some things though, like it's obvious you're gonna get some people staring or whatever (I even got a school kid on campus once shouting きれいねええええ in my face - well I think it was at me, for the sake of my ego I'm gonna say it was directed at me hahaha). Non-Japanese speaking people, she basically said WAAAAA SHES UGLY. Lol just kidding,  きれいmeans pretty. Japanese people are super nice, if a little cray. (Serena, if you're reading, this is you yes hehehe looove ya ♥).

BUT other things are oddly reminding me of home - the local supermarket, Matsumoto, proper reminds me of Morrisons! Couldn't tell you why, just does! I've also found an import shop (don't get me wrong I'm loving trying all the new Japanese foods..but sometimes I just want some Nutella)! There was also one day at the river, Kamogawa, I had been wandering round Gion with a friend, and we were heading back to the bus from the river...when some old drunkard tried to give/sell us some Whiskey. Now if that's not like Donny.....

DOOOO YA WANNA FUNNNNKKKKKKKKK?

Soz, my Mum made me a CD, listening to it now and this song is on there (anyone seen Trading Places? Watch it. Eddie Murphy. Classsss). 

So in my blogs I write a lot in my (dodgy) English, so I've decided now I'm gonna do a little bit in my (broken) Japanese each time. Here goes.  じゃ、頑張る！

これは多分前の英語と同じだけど、私まだ上手じゃないんだよー

ここまで２ヶ月間日本に勉強してる。まあ、実は１ヶ月間ぐらいクラスがあって、その前はなんか日本の生活などになれてきてみる時だった（まだね）

カルチャーショックについて、いつも大学から聞いてた。私日本に来る前、大丈夫だと思ってたけど、やっぱり時々カルチャーショック経験する。日本は暑い。でしょ？日本に着いて初めてのカルチャーショックだった。でも今、毎週もっと寒くなってくると思う！イェーイ！めっちゃ暑い天気あまり好きじゃないんだ！今は、なんかイギリスの天気みたい、、、好き！とにかく、ここまで日本も日本語の勉強も大好き  :)

これからも頑張る！！

Alright, that's ya lot, I'm tired now hahaha. I hope you've somewhat enjoyed reading this random post, until next time!!

Naw.
