So as I write this, the bell is tolling over at Nishi-Honganji for 4pm. It's great to see a beautiful temple right out my window, but that bell also tolls at 6am every day. It's quite irritating when it wakes me up.
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I was doing good there for a while. I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately. Not sure if it's psychosomatic or what, but I'm feeling better now.
Unfortunately my grand week of taiko took a hit when I was feeling poopy. I'm hopping back on track though.
The group at Kyoto Geijutsu Daigaku was AMAZING. I think they were preparing for a performance so we got a full show. I was extraordinary. I actually cried one of the songs was so amazing. I was freaking out. I took all these photos and videos. I was recording the whole thing.... then in my haste to delete so I could get it all and not miss anything.... I deleted it all. That also made me cry a little. I can't join them, but they invited us to come back and watch whenever we like. I promise to get video and photo in the future.
Had my first Halloween away from home as well. Jen went to the COSMO event, but it was a little too pricey for me (¥3400). I decided to stay home, do some KenpoX, and then go out later with them at the river. It was fun. Definitely not on par with America, but they do a lot more than I was expecting here.
That's all I've got for now, but there's some good stuff coming up.
Love until later,
Caitlin D.
