Hisashiburi! (Long Time No See)

Hello everyone that still (nobody) reads my blog. I think that this blog has really no point now. Especially since almost everybody that I know and keep in touch with is on Facebook. They can see everything that I do, all the pictures that I upload and status updates instantly. It seems that Blogs are becoming more and more obsolete. Unfortunate but true none the less. I'm sorry to anyone that reads this and is not on Facebook to see all my happenings and what not. I'll try to update my blog at least once a month or something like that from now on.

Anyway, I've had a busy 4 months since I last posted. I changed my school with completely new staff in a different location of the city. No more bike rides to school either since my school is now in train distance. From trips to the beach, birthday parties, playing soccer and basketball, the world cup, school welcoming parties, work drinking parties, practicing Japanese calligraphy, clubbing, a tour of the Suntory Beer Factory, a trip to San Francisco, Las Vegas and El Paso, duty as a best man in my cousin's wedding, planning a birthday party for a friend and I and finally saying goodbye to many good friends that are now leaving back home. It's been crazy this year so far to say the least! My life over here is still exhilarating and fun. I can't say I'm not lucky sometimes.

Here are some pictures from my phone I've taken this year.

I think that when you see these pictures you will get a good picture of what life has been like over in Osaka. It's a great place to be and I enjoy it everyday. From August 1st, I started my 4th year in Japan. When I first came to Japan I never thought I would be here 4 years. Time literally passes us by.

My next excursion is this month. A few friends and I will attempt to climb to the top of the largest peak in Japan! MOUNT FUJI!! I really can't wait and I know it will be a challenge, but I'm always up for a challenge. There is a famous saying here in Japan that the Japanese always say. "Everyone should climb Fuji, but you're a fool to do it twice." I'm really looking forward to that day! ;)

OK well, I just wanted to update this BLOG. I hope all of you readers are doing well and thanks for the continued support even though I completely neglect the BLOG. I'll try harder.

peace,

vince
