Plans and projects
Jul. 5th, 2009 09:47 pmI've found myself a travel buddy! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nekonezumi and I will be climbing Mt. Fuji together on the weekend of Aug. 29-30. Is anyone else interested in joining us? ^_^
So I've suddenly noticed that the first weekend of July is already over, and there's lots of stuff I want to do with my summer! Unfortunately, I'll be missing the biggest of the fireworks displays (i.e. the Edogawa ones, which were the best last year, in my opinion), what with being back in Canada and all (leaving on the 1st of August, back on the 16th), but I've got 3 weeks left before I go home. In that time, I would like to:
- go to the beach
- see some fireworks (here's a listing: hanabi - I was thinking the Sumidagawa ones on the 25th, but I'll also be back from the motherland in time for the Setagayaku-Tamagawa ones on the 22nd of August)
- go to a matsuri of some kind (umbrellaofdoom posted this link)
- find another excuse to wear my yukata (just get dressed up and walk around town? XD)
- go shopping at Ikebukuro Sunshine City before the summer sales are over
- ???
- profit!
But seriously, if any of you want to join me on any of the aforementionned activities, or if you have any suggestions, suggest away!
Yesterday I ate only one proper meal, but it was a hell of a big one. Despite the fact that E's propane tank was empty, the bbq was a success, and we all left with full bellies and leftovers. I finally got to meet E's baby in person (she's adorable!) as well as her husband, and I was the only single person there, as well as the only woman there, save one, not married to a Japanese man. Met N and had lots of fun chatting with her. She mentionned she'd been to Bolivia on the course of her honeymoon, and I said that I'd always thought that would be a cool place to visit, just because hardly anyone seems to go there.
Me: I'd like to go to Mongolia, partly for that same reason.
N: Oh, I've been to Mongolia, and it was really interesting! I volunteered as an English teacher there a few years ago.
Me: *o* You're awesome.
Today I had breakfast, at least. But lunch, which was at Costco and included a guava slushy and pizza and chips and caaaaaake, was so big that I skipped supper and am still not hungry. I may have some ice cream later, though. :D
