filler blog

hey guys,

I was biking home today and thinking hey you can probably read my whole blog in an hour, thats not very long for a whole year of living, so maybe i'll write more often.

last weekend i went to a small town called Naganuma for and international festival, it was pretty
cool the whole town shows up every year and i had my own table that said Canada and of course i was the only Canadian (like always) and I spoke to like the whole town and stamped their passports and autographed their shirts, then me and jono from Australia lead like dancing for the children and then we made mochi, which is where i smash a huge mortar/hammer into a huge carved out stump full of rice and the crowd cheers and then it turns into just like gum and they add sugar and flavoured powdery stuff and its so good when its fresh. we had like all we could eat at an izakaya and we homestayed in a huge mansion, I forgot houses could be big.












Back in sapporo Its getting really hot and green and I have rugby practice everyday, the cherry blossoms came for a week and they were just as nice as everyone said they'd be, ill put some pics up. so they do only last for about a week then they fall and blow around everywhere in the wind like its pink snow going in circles even outside our classroom on the 5th floor. then the trees are all leaves instead of flowers,

i ran my bike into a car today.

i change host families in 11 days and i dont want to at all.

i go home in 2 months and a few days

a huge motorcycle gang just sped by across the river woawoawoa

that seems like long and short at the same time, its gonna be weird and scary and I have this weird adopted accent and I say blatantly australian/new zealandish things all the time.

oh i havent got the cherry blossom pictures off my host families camera yet so here are some other older ones.

the international night pictures a re courtesy of my exchange student friends.
