ART CLUB

This is the etching I was working on in art club! So much fun!

Toyodaminami

I know, I know, it has been way toooooo long! Just to fill you all in quickly- I have been keeping very busy... this is the latest school I have been teaching at- Toyodaminami Junior High. In these pics we were making thongs out of material. The old man next to me kept talking to me and I didnt understand a thing he was saying but he kept talking even though the english teacher told him I didnt speak Japanese! Cute! Anyways, the kids are great. A group of girls have been teaching me Japanese words such as agepan and sagepan (like harry highpants and sagepan when you wear your pants low). Hehe. Oh, I love it!

Two weeks ago we went to Toyami which is north, about a 4 and a half hour drive and a lot colder than Hamamatsu. Minol had a no rules fight. He won. The guy he beat is the one on the left holding ice to his face.

These girls are awesome! Soooo funny! I sit with them at lunch time and they teach me Japanese. The girl on the very left is from the Philipines and her English is pretty good so I talk with her a lot. She does a really good impression of the girl from ´The Ring´!! Japanese kids are CRAZY!

Fuji-Q Highland

Wow...Mt Fuji

Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park

Team Brazil (+ME!!)

The BEST ride ever- (eejanaika)

Saturday´s Adventure was going to the amusement park... oh yeah! How´s about that adrenaline! Best ride was the eejanaika which holds a record for the amount of turns or something. We went on it twice. On the same day though at another place a girl was killed on a rollercoaster when her cart came off the rails!! CRAZY CRAZY!

Tandem Skateboarding

Lu and Karyn (Brazilian Chickadee´s)

Flower Garden

And here we have our little excursion to the Flower Garden (and in 30 minutes we did a speedy looky looky at the zoo which was just next to the FG).

Hamamatsu

Minol & I hanging in Hamamatsu. That´s the Hamamatsu Castle. Notice the famous Cherry Blossoms? Oh and yeah, that´s Minol´s Sponge Bob Squarepant made from leftovers. Haha. Ha.

surfing

What a beautiful Tassie morning! Especially for all those surfers out there who enjoy a morning surf. Well I had my first surf today and hooley dooley I even stood up on the board whilst catching a wave! Little wave but a wave nevertheless. So WHOOHOO!

TFY

First training in Melbourne for the TFY crew. These are the councellors from Tassie (minus me cos I won't actually be there for the real thing). It was such a loooooong day. Up at 4am to get to the airport by 5am. Then training, training, training, then back to the airport and on a plane, back to Hobart at about 10ish pm. In bed by quarter to 12. Ffffeeeeeeew!

Fan Dangle

How cool are these bracelets. Only 50 bucks from Salamanca. Bargain. Hehehe. Ok, so we really made them out of left over coat hanger wire. It was funny though, cos we went to Melbourne the following day and I left my dodgy wire bracelet in my bag and hey... I got it through the baggage check! Sharp nasty edges and all!

RaiNbOw BrIghT

I just love this cool rainbow!

Why I Love Brissy

Just some pics from Brissy of Ank, Pud and I swim, swim, swimming in the pool. I love being able to dive into water that's not icy cold! Which is typical of the water in Tassie even in the summer! REFRESHING!

We all scream for ICE-CREAM!

So I got dared to throw a spoon with ice-cream on it at Mark. This is how it ended. Let me tell you... pink ice-cream stinks! And it's soooo sticky!

(Fiona, Mark, Sam, Mwa and Camilla!)

Look Close!

YES! Can you believe another black eye!! Dunno how exactly I got this one... yes, I was training on Thursday night but who or how they gave it to me is a mystery.
