July Randomness: Cuteness and Deliciousness

I'm finally on summer break! Well, I've sort of been on break for the past week, but I've had to go to school for an hour or two every day to help with English speech contest practice. So it hasn't been too bad, but I've still had to get up early. But now I'm free! :)

Anyway... here are some random pictures from July.

Loft in Hamamatsu Station had a cool Nano Block train set display. They also had a large castle.

I Climbed Mt. Fuji! A third time!

This past weekend I climbed Mt. Fuji for the third time because Jonathan really wanted to climb it again. I didn't really want to do it again, but a couple weeks ago I looked at my pictures from last year and started getting excited about it.

Here are posts from the previous two times:
Fujisan! I Climbed a Volcano!
I Climbed Mt. Fuji Again!

On Friday, the day before our climb, we made taco salad for dinner and I drank an Inca Kola. I had no idea that it had caffeine. Well, it turns out that it has about the same amount as Mountain Dew. I don't do well with caffeine late in the day. Plus I rarely drink caffeine so it can really affect me.

I took that picture outside of Jonathan's apartment because of the pink house. I love colored houses!

Dry Ice, Bowling, and Sailor Moon Crystal

It's Saturday night right now (well, technically Sunday morning) and so far this weekend has been a lot of fun!

It started off with a nice day at school on Friday. Okay, not the weekend, but I'll just include it in this post. Anyway... I spent the day at my favorite elementary school. It's very small and only has 22 students! I didn't have any classes in the morning, but I was invited to the kindergarten (which is connected to the elementary school) to decorate for Tanabata (you can click that to read about it on Wikipedia). Besides decorations and writing wishes, there's not a whole lot done to celebrate Tanabata, but I think it's really cute.

My New Apartment

I've lived in this apartment for about two and a half months now. I've been wanting to take a video for a while and finally got around to it today.

I really like my new apartment. It's in a great location and I've decorated it with a lot of cute stuff. I like the layout better than my last apartment because I like the bed area better and the toilet isn't right across from the stove and fridge haha. Plus I really love the shelf space above the closet where I can display a bunch of my stuffed animals. Though I did have a little bit more counter space and kitchen storage in my last apartment, but I've gotten some shelves and stuff to make up for that.

Grilling by the River

A few weeks ago Jonathan bought a small grill at Seiyu. The past few weekends we have grilled at the park by Tenyru River near Jonathan's apartment.

Two weekends ago Jonathan and I biked to Shishigahana Park in northern Iwata.

On the way there we stopped to eat the lunches we bought at a konbini earlier.
