hello :)
i am in JAPAN! YAY!! \(^0^)/
Gifu was totally boring, except for the part where i had my first japanese convo :D
ME: Can i borrow spoons? (in JAP, OBVIOUSLY)
THE-MAN-AT-THE-FRONT-DESK: Yes, yes, of course.
then he disappeared for a while to the back before coming back out again. THEN
HIM: Please wait for a while
ME: okays~
-pause-
HIM: Ninhon wa jyouzu desu! *smiles*
ME: *confused* YUPS.
THEN. i realized that i confused my benkyou (study) for jyouzu (good). SO. the point is that i had just egostically proclaimed that my japanese was very good. - -"
YAY for me.
ok. Rented a car, went to goju-hachiman (a little tiny village situated in a valley) the next day, walked, walked, walked, walked, had about 50 sticks of (VERY GOOOD) beef, walked, walked, walked, walked, then went to takayama. :)
NEXT NEXT DAY.
-ditto- except we went to shirakawago. (another tiny village situated in some valley too :D) and the car was a hybrid. SO COOL.
TODAY.
went to the morning market, walked, walked, then went to some soba place for lunch. wasnt very great tho. D:
my sister had some cold soba thing. which looked and tasted horrible. my mom had to sacrifice her lunch so that my sister could actually EAT something.
after that we walked and walked and walked again, before taking a taxi to the Teddy Eco Village. SOUNDS SUPER COOL RIGHT? I KNOW :))))
the place was chock full with TEDDY BEARS. that place is so super cool. but their english wasnt very good. like, there was this painting, with very cute bears and everything, and they were standing behind this sign that LOUDLY SAID:
Help Prevent Forest And BRUSH Fires.
????
yup yup, then walked a bit more before taking a bus back, then ate something, then went back to the hotel.
OH. BTW. we have our dinner at 4++ in the afternoon :) because the sun goes down like, at that time. so yeah. thats about it. i try and get the pictures in soon :)
-chloe
