Okay another report but this time I won’t get side tracked.  I am still doing pretty good in school everything is well. I have now appeared in the school newspaper and in a city home magazine but I don’t have a scanner available so I cant post them.  At school I make more friends everyday but I have yet to see them outside of school because of their busy schedules but I keep myself entertained.  Going everywhere on the trains (because I have now mastered the train system) and I was going often to the beach near my house but now it just got too cold.

Speaking about the weather now that it is getting colder my school switched to winter uniforms so now I wear the infamous Japanese black jacket to school, plus a scarf and gloves but just on the bike ride to school.  But I don’t mind the cold too much now, and now going to school on Bike is so relaxing and breathtaking because as you may know Japan is very famous for its trees in autumn and spring and now all the trees are either bright yellow or red.  And for some reason when  its cold there are no clouds, so on my bike ride to school on the bridge I mentioned in the last report, the one I have to cross everyday, when I get to the top I can see Mt. Fuji perfectly, Japan’s most famous mountain a huge black mountain with the top covered in snow.

I also happened to go to Tokyo University a couple of weeks ago because one of my clubs Rotarians grandson is going there and he invited me to the culture fest.  That was pretty cool, he gave me a tour of the campus and told me a lot about it, like the fact that only 3000 students are accepted each year of which only about 25 are foreign, well so much for that dream.  And on the way back home I also experienced for the first time a fully packed Japanese train, and when I mean packed I mean that people were packed like sardines and only seconds after the doors were able to close it got extremely hot but it was a short ride.

Halloween has now passed and not even one single ring of the doorbell and no children in sight but then again who would want to come to the house with a real hell poodle.  But Christmas is coming up and that’s supposed to be the Japanese’s favorite holiday, because they love giving and receiving presents and souvenirs so well see how that goes.   

Okay that’s it for now and I want to wish everyone around the world a merry Christmas and a happy new year in case you don’t hear from me before that.
