Obama won. Fan-fing-tastic I say. I have been a huge Obama supporter from the begining, and for the first time in my twenty six years, I am proud to be an American. That being said, most of the students here went crazy over the Obama win. Europeans, Japanese, Asian; everyone came together to celebrate this momentous day not just for America, but for the world. I was deeply impressed to see, first hand, the impact our fearless leader-elect has had on the world. Everyone here is so expectant that positive change will occur!
In other news, I went to a small nomikai for short time, then proceeded to drink in the local koen as always, but this time with a twist; Soju. Soju is awefull, and awesome. It's burns as it goes down, it perks you up fast (which is hysterical because the alcohol content is low) and drops you even faster. I have never been sicker in my entire life, and never woken up with a worse hangover. Be yee warned: Soju is dangerous stuff. Try some, it's fantastic :)
I went to Kamakura last weekend, with a friend, and while I didn't get to spend as much time there as I would have liked, it was still a beautiful and serene town, quite different from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. I saw the main Hachiman temple, which was stunning, and the Daibutsu, which was actually a let down. The highlight of the trip was sitting on the beach at night, staring off into the Pacific until it got too cold. I love the ocean, and seeing the Pacific for the first time was amazing.
Thats it for now, I will post something else when I have something to tell lol.
