The End of break and Golden Week!

I've been a neglectful blogger! Here is a photo summary of my break!

I went to Kamakura and visited several temples.





I went to DisneySea with my friends! It was a rainy day, but we had a blast!

I visited Mt. Fuji! Well, didn't climb it, but I was very close to it! Mt. Fuji is really beautiful! This photo is courtesy of my friend Nazuha and her Friendship Family.

Ice caves near Mt. Fuji




Sakura bloomed in late March/early April, these were taken near Miyazakidai station.
I visited Meiji Jingu. This year is the 100th year since the passing of Emperor Meiji's wife's death. We missed the current Emperor's visit to the shrine by 15 minutes! I also learned that Obama was visiting the shrine! One day I will see you Mr. President...



We had another tea ceremony class, which was fun!

I joined the caligraphy club! The members are all very kind and patient.

Us K-step students were given the opportunity to wear kimono! Professionals helped us dress,put on make up, and do our hair. It took a very long time. Yet it took less than a minute to get everything off! Pro photographers were there to take pictures, as well as our own cameras. Both of these are courtesy of the photographers!



Along with traditional pursuits, we spent a day enjoying karaoke, the arcade, and a movie!
