Japanicing: Long time no see

Sorry, I have not posted for a while.
The last week was very nice but exhausting. We finally had the first research Interview, but i don´t want to bother you with that one again.

Let´s talk about the fun!
After the final exams here (for my colleagues, not me) we went out for dinner. I forgot the correct name but the deal is like all you can eat and drink within two hours. Yummy!
As the night was young we decided to go for Karaoke (originally planned for the next evening anyway) and it was great fun! The karaoke machines are quite nice and you have a huge selection, even of English songs, so I was pretty busy entertaining!

As as it was such a great fun we went there the next evening, a smaller group, but even more fun
As I came back from Tokyo Monday night, went out on Tuesday and Wednesday I was really happy to have an evening with nothing on Thursday. On Friday we had there first real interview (as mentioned above) and on Saturday we went to Matsushima bay, probably one of the most beautiful places in Japan (at least they say so). Thanks to my great brother and his camera I could take a lot of nice pictures (you might have recognized the new background image, that's Matsuhima bay).

I had to uy a hat due to the sun and i forgot to bring a cap with me... tourists...

As this might not have been enough of entertainment we went to the movies on the evening in "the MALL": The Dark Knight Rises. Awesome!
So Sunday was all about relaxing! I sleeped really long... which is 11.00 due to the light and temperature in my cell, ähm room. I did some washing, shoping, watched some episodes of DS9 (I know... freak) and then joined everyone on the roof of our Dormitory. Why? No, no one was about to jump! (What are you thinking? Pffff...) It was Hanabi (fireworks) time! It went on for 1 1/2 hours (with breaks) and was easy to watch from our roof as it was fired just on the other side of the bridge that crosses the river (kawa:川, one of the most easy Kanji´s I know) that runs near our place.
It was a nice show and if one of the biggest events taking place here in Sendai. Many people came in Jukata (the summer kimono, male and female) and it was beatiful to watch!
