Natsu!

Sorry for the late post! Been caught up with school work, extended essays and what not for the IB programme :( I wish I could graduate tomorrow! University applications as well... so tedious! But oh well, had an amazing summer in TOKYO, JAPAN after my internship! Loved it so much, was like a dream come true!

Met my buddy Takuya in Shinjuku for a day as well, where he heroically finished a salad for the first time in his life! So much fun. Wonderful memories indeed. And I never, ever wanted to leave the cyber cafe in Tokyo. That's how good it was...

Considering to work here in the future? Definitely. This, or Taiwan. Depending which language I manage to tackle!

I've also got guitar lessons at last, after so many months of unprofessionally mucking around with it. It's so much fun, I've always wanted to learn either the guitar or drums, and I'll finally be able to rock along with Asian Kung-Fu Generation (eventually) without strumming endlessly and mercilessly at the air around me. My teacher is an awesome guy, and thank you to a friend of mine for sharing him :)

Hopefully before I graduate high school I'll be able to pick up a new guitar, I like the one I have now but I like the one I want even more ;) Currently using a Fender Squire Stratocaster OBEY, which is not bad for my first guitar (I obviously bought it for the art without even trying to play anything on it).

my current guitar :)

But what's really enchanting me is the Gibson LP Black Beauty. Its beautiful. And I know I have not the skill level yet to even touch it, because that would just be disgraceful. So you know what, if I get any better at it I'll promise to somehow obtain the Epiphone LP Black Beauty, through some underhand Christmas gimmick with the family perhaps.

stunner.

A guitar, which you know what, conveniently looks pretty much the same, at a couple thousand dollars cheaper. Of course the name's different, but hey, I'm neither rich nor good at the guitar, so why blow it when the looks are the same :)

Anyway, back to my awesome, awesome, life-changing trip to Japan.

Actually, I think I'll let the pictures do to the talking:)

Now most of these pictures were taken in one day... so as you can tell, I probably took a billion pictures. I filled up my 8GB SD card on my DSLR and got a new 32GB in Odaiba. And I am obviously (for the sake of my time and for your bandwidth) not going to upload all of them here!

But I guess you can tell that I had aloooot of fun:) Other than that, my internship as I said before was pretty cool and I learnt stuff. And now I'm back to crummy old UWCSEA for my last and final year of high school! Hurrah hurrah! Wish me luck reworking my extended essay!

Have any of you guys been to Tokyo too? Tour or backpack?

You enjoyed it, didn't you :)?
