FAREWELL PARTY.......well cruised to one of our mates Lindsay's farewell which was in kobe..so hooked up with our mate whetz and went to the party.. it was mean catching up.. the party was a pretty quiet one.. so we trooped off to hook up with some other maoris who lived in kobe.. it was pretty mean.. and ee had a good time.. really getting hammered.. all in all it was a top night....

INDIA ARIE CONCERT...WAITANGI DAY...well it was chanels birthday so we decided to go and watch india arie in concert.. we hooked up with whetz again and trooped to osaka after school to watch the concert.. although i didnt know many of her songs.. it was an awesome concert and we really enjoyed ourselves.. it was a primo night...

KURAMA ONSEN...
we decided to get out to kyoto and heck out kurama onsen or hot spring..this onsen was out in the mountains and was a really beautiful place...bascially you wash you body before entering the huge outdoor bath.. it was really great to relax and take in some of the beautiful nature and soak in the outdoor bath.. mean alright...

KENDO... well i have been learning kendo for about 4 months and i am really enjoying it.. its mean.. and i enjoy learning the way of the samurai and it has the same kind of wairua as the taiaha.. i haqve started getting into sparring and i really love this.. although at the moment the students are hammering me.. but with a bit more practices should get abit better..
