Hello All!
So someone sent me this link - check it out to see what "flavour" you are...Apparently I'm milk pocky, which I've never tried. But seeming as I'm supposed to be like it, I will try it out! Let me know what you all are! Email me!

What flavour Pocky are you?
More goodtimes in Sasebo!
Well last weekend got kicked off to a good start when on my way home from work, the water hose on my “Super Off-Roader” burst! Of course it was the middle of rush hour and I was on the main road of the city – but thankfully I was able to pull over to a side street and wait for assistance. My supervisor came to help and had JAF (the Japanese version of CAA) and they towed it to the mechanic for free…and the mechanic just GAVE me another car to use while mine is in the shop! So for a few days, my “ride” was a blue Toyota Corsa and a lot newer than my little jeep!! They just finished working on it today – and get this…they came and dropped off my car at my work!!! How is that for service!! Car troubles was not as traumatic as I thought it was going to be….not that I plan on having many other problems…..
Saturday I went shopping to Justco (a huge department store with almost anything and everything you could possibly imagine!) with Jenny to do some random shopping. Found a Halloween costume for our party on Saturday – I will be sure to send some pictures…
Saturday night, Ben was the host again, as we had a little drinking get together at his house (also very convenient for me, as he lives 2 minutes away from me!). Time flew by, talked a lot, drank a bit, and next thing I knew, we were eating fries at the Japanese version of Denny’s at 5:15 in the morning. But it was all in good fun…. 
Needless to say that my Sunday was a bit of a waste lounging in my apartment – watching lots of Lost Season 2 (thanks Auntie!)…and attempting to plan for the big Christmas trip. So much to see and do in so little time – it’s hard to decide what is a priority or not! But I’m getting very excited! On top of the bigger sights of Kansai, we are also going to Mt. Koya to stay at a Buddhist temple with monks for one night! That should be really cool!
My weeks are getting fairly busy, with Japanese lessons (my teacher has offered for me to study at her house as well for free once a week!), and my eikaiwas (private English lessons).
But on Tuesday I had my last visit to one of my island elementary schools, Kuroshima. They let me have a Halloween party with all the students (grades 1 to 6) in the gym. They were so concerned that it would be too many kids…but the whole school is only 35 kids! I taught them about our Halloween traditions and words, and afterwards we played some games and made Halloween masks! I think they really liked it! I also had them “trick-or-treat” with me for chocolate. Very cute kids – lots of pictures (go to www.flickr.com/photos/megumip/ for some more….
Anyways – I have a big weekend coming up – Sasebo is having its annual Yosakoi Dance Festival (the biggest festival in Kyushu!) and I’m going to Yabusame, an ancient samurai archery festival! Lots of pictures to be posted!
