Wonderful Waterfalls
The time at Seiritz is continuing as normal, classes are continuing as normal, however, exams are coming up and I'm starting to get nervous!!
Over the last few days, I went on a trip with my host family to Awamata. The place is halfway up a mountain, and has beautiful scenery. And the main event was the Taki(Waterfall). There are actually three waterfalls, and there is a path between all of them, due to the many sightseers, and couples who go there. I was told that the water was very cold, since it is mountain-water, and that I should bring a sweater because it was cold there. This turned out to be not true at all!
As I am a descendant of the great Vikings of the North, I had to test the water, and ended up walking from waterfall to waterfall in the shallow and comfortably cool water beside the path of which my host family was walking. Maybe it was freezing for them but it was heaven for me. My sweater was also never found its way out of the car. All in all, a great experience. I can't wait for more!
