Not posted in a long time...

Sorry guys.
I have  not had the time or will to post in a long time...
There is a lot of things happening all the time, and I have therefore little time to post anything.

 The least I can do now is summarize a bit of what has happened during the time since the last post.
First of all I went to Kyoto just two days after the post.
It was a really nice experience and I found that I really like Kyoto.
The city as a mix between really old buildings and streets and newly built markets and centers.
You can walk through a new part of town, enjoying window shopping, and then suddenly find yourself a midst old temples and shrines. If you enter one of the temple gates, you are immediately surrounded by old buildings and nothing  seems to be from newer eras except for the vending machines, which are everywhere in Japan.
In Kyoto I went to a temple called Kyo Mizu Dera, it is, if not the most famous temple in and sight in Kyoto and a lot of tourists visits all year around. I also went down Philosophers street, a famous street in Kyoto, known for couples walking it holding hands...
The second day I were there I went to Arashiyama, and Tenryuji, a famous temple in Arashiyama. Arashiyama was a very nice and although also packed with tourists it was more quiet and serene than Kyoto's newer districts. It also has a really nice Bamboo forest which you can walk through, and which I immediately fell in love with.

After Kyoto I had a lot of work that needed be done.  I was to prepare a student comment for the school prospectus. We had several tests after the trips and I spent a lot of time out by the start of november.

The last week I've been attending the Kyudo again after a long absence from it because of all that happened. I want to buy my own bow now, but the NOK is doing badly and so I don't wanna do it yet as a bow here is not cheap, about 40,000 yen. But once I buy one I will be allowed shooting at the range as my skill is more than good enough now. But there is not a bow long enough for me to really be able to shoot with.. (-_-)¤ 

John left us three days ago.. I think Kimmy his girlfriend is missing him very much. She doesn't seem too upbeat these days. I hope she'll survive the waiting time 'til he comes back.
I hope he is working hard back in Norway as he said he would. And that he doesn't forget us down here:)
(Btw if you're reading John. I don't know if you managed to steal one. But I got the poster of your man. He is hanging in my room now. Watching me as I sleep!! I'll bring him home with me!)

Two days ago was my birthday. I had a really nice day:)
I even got a cake from one of the girls in my class, and a lot of gifts as well.
My roommate even decided to decorate my door with a lot of small stickers...
And best of all I got Norwegian chocolate and chips from my family.. Yum!! I ate it with Mari, whom I went on a date with the same day. We saw P.S. I Love You. Which is an american movie I think.. There were a lot of famous actors, amongst those Hilary Swank, whom I actually regard as a far better actor than others coming from that God-forbidden hollywood. 
The movie was actually better than I had expected. And there were also a few other guys, probably with their dates, watching it as well. 

Today I am going to celebrate my birthday at St. James bar. And probably later go to a club. It is a shame John couldn't be here to celebrate but that's how it is..
Anyway I will try posting more in the coming days and hope you are still reading:)
