彼！*

This is my boyfriend, Shinji.


可愛いな~？**

*boyfriend
**Isn't he cute?

Miscellanea

Here are a few pictures from a bridge over the Kamogawa, the main river that flows through Kyoto. I cross it every day on my way home from Kyodai about twenty minutes into my walk. きれいやな！*




Here's some random building I saw with Alex in Osaka last Friday. I honestly have no idea what it is.


And this is Masashi, my friend. I know I always say that my friends are much better looking in person, but it's honestly true. I think my camera is cursed!


*Isn't it pretty? – for the Japanese-able, yes, I threw in a little bit of Kansai-ben!

今週末東京に行ったよ！*

東京 (Tokyo) was absolutely amazing!

This is downtown Tokyo. 新宿 (Shinjuku), to be exact.










On Sunday Shinji took me to 東京ディズニーシー(Tokyo Disneysea). It's just like Disneyland but surrounding and surrounded by the ocean – right next to Tokyo Disneyland, actually. Here's the bay area, which is the first thing you see when you enter. To get to that side, you have to walk over a bridge or take a boat.


This is from the Indiana Jones area:


And this is from the Aladdin area:


These are from the Little Mermaid area, by far the prettiest part.










And this is the bay area at nighttime. It was gorgeous.



Here's the Tower of Terror at night.



Here's a picture of Shinji taking a picture of the Tower of Terror. He wasn't cooperating for photos, so I had to sneak it really fast, and that's why it's so blurry.


This is another part of Tokyo by the ocean.



And this is Tokyo Beach, where we took a walk today. すごいね？**



*I went to Tokyo this weekend!
**Cool, eh?

オレンジな髪の男性*

Here's a picture of Dana, Gabby, and our friend "the Orange-Haired Guy." He works in an awesome clothing shop in Teramachi, and we like to chat with him sometimes. Every day I wave hello on my walk home from KyoDai.



His style's rather typical of the guys here in Kyoto. It's not the best picture of him, but Gabby, Dana, and I think he's one of the most イケメン** guys we've ever seen!


*orange-haired guy
** hot

Random

Here are some random pictures I just decided to upload.

First is a picture of my friends Dana and Alex. This is at karaoke Friday afternoon.



This is a picture of the Kaiten Zushi (revolving sushi place) that Gabby, Dana, and I frequent. Isn't it cool?



These little guys freak the hell out of us every time they roll on by. The idea of eating shrimp doesn't bother me, but do they have to keep the eyes on them?



Here's a section of the menu from the bar I went to last night with Gabby, Dana, Alex, Jeff, and Will. Just when you don't think you'll see English any weirder than you've already seen, BAM!



And here's a picture of Koichi that I took about an hour ago. This is also the first glimpse of my room that you've gotten. Isn't he cute?!
