Festivals galore!
At band practice!
November is my favorite month of the year! There are many interesting things that have happened so far and many more on the agenda. First of all, I’m slated to move to new host family again. This time I will live in an area called Minami Urawa, a part of Saitama-ken. It is actually really close to the school so my daily commute will be really fast! This is great news for my last 2 months in Japan since before I used to live so far away.
I also went to Waseda University's culture festival. I saw many bands perform and it inspired me to improve my guitar skills even more. I also went out with Matti and Eskild to Asakusa to watch a festival and parade on Bunka no hi (Culture day, a national holiday).
Also the weather is getting surprisingly cold. I’m not used to the cold since I come from a tropical climate country. This will be my first time experience winter and honestly, I’m pretty nervous about it. Hopefully I don’t freeze!
