163-167: 3 more exams to go, and I made Norwegian food; Rundstykke med brunost!

Friday 17th July
In Sustainability-class there were the last two people presenting. It went quick and we took a group picture together. I'm going to miss the teacher because she was very nice! I also handed in my final report for the Social change in Japan-class. It was 3 pages and I wrote about womens status during the Meiji Period. It think gender issues are very interesting so I'm glad I could write about it. In the final class we also talked about our report to each other before saying our goodbyes to the teacher.
After class I met Jimmy in Shibuya to eat dinner at Watami. Jimmy also bought a new PC!

Saturday 18th July
Even though I just want to relax all weekend, I had woooooork! Well, I said yes to it myself, so can't complain. First I met with Goto to talk about available working hours at his privat "English school" (Very small). Then I had a 1 hour session conversation practice with one of my own students. I also got to do all the shopping for my friend Siri. She wanted me to buy her a lot of different things from Japan ^^
Sunday 19th July
Today I prepared for my presentation, relaxed and had a 2 hour English session in Shibuya. That's pretty much it...Ah! I made rundstykke from the whole grain flour my mom sent me!

And the brown cheese survived! I'm soooo happy!!!
Monday 20th July
From 10.00-12.00 I had my group over for practicing our presentation that is tomorrow. The presentation is about Trends in tourism; Japan and Norway. 
And of course, we had to take a tour around my share place:

The practgicing went very well! So after they left I went jogging, but it was so damn hot, it ended mostly in walking, haha! 

Since it's a red day in Japan called Marine Day (海の日 Umi no Hi), I hoped it would be free from work. But it wasn't so I still had to go. But I was not the only onw thinking so; 4 out of 7 students didn't show! Haha!
Tuesday 21th July
Dooms day; presentation!!!! It actually went pretty good. Next Tuesday is the last class where we get our Journals back etc. 3 exams done, 2 to go!!!

I have been in love with fruits lately~~ Soooo good! But very expensive *cryyy*

Day 106,107 and 108 : 3 months anniversary, climbing mount Takao and BBQ at Uni

Friday 22th of May

At school I bought some gifts for my sister and my nephew. I think I'm going to buy some more before sending, so I can fill the whole box~ It's always fun to buy stuff and give away :)

Today was my 3 months anniversary with Jimmy. We didn't really do much this time, we just relaxed at home :) <3 I got flowers, a poster and a wooden basket (not in the picture) and I gave Jimmy a shortcake slice (one for me too of course), a letter and a picture from my Instax camera. We then watched some Supernatural~

So yummy!

Saturday 23th of May

Today I climbed Takao-san! 

Mount Takao (高尾山 Takao-san^?) is a mountain in the city of Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan. It is protected within Meiji no Mori Takao Quasi-National Park.
Standing 599 metres (1,965 ft) tall and located within an hour of downtown Tokyo, it is a popular hiking spot, with eight hiking courses and more than 2.5 million annual visitors. The Tama Forest Science Garden is also located at the mountain's base.
Mount Takao is closely associated with tengu, minor kami from Japanese folklore, and the daitengu Naigubu. A Buddhist temple, Takaosan Yakuōin Yūkiji, is located on the mountain.

We went as a group of almost 20 people from the house. I think almost all of the Japanese people that joined got together at 07:00 to make lunch! 

Jimmy and I made chicken sandwich which was very good ^_^ Around 09:30 we left the house and took the train to the mountain.  

Leaving the house:

 On our way~

Arrived at the station:

Everybody loves my sunglasses!

 ...Yes

STOP!

HAMMERTIME!

Jimmy thinks everyone's "flex game" is pretty weak...

At the top we ate lunch:

The Japanese lunch:

The western lunch:

Jimmy's serious eating face

Queu for ice cream!

Penny, Me and Jimmy

Jimmy and I were buying Cola at this vending machine, and we got the name "Kazuki"! So of course we had to buy that one to our friend Kazuki! What's the odds!? And I anybody is courious, my name is Hinata and Jimmy is Haruto!

 ...Yes...Again...

Jimmy didn't like my idea to climb the tree that's leaning over the edge...

So here is a different picture of where we went~

We then had a dinner party at the house around 20:00. Everyone made food and then we shared at the table, it was a lot of good food! Some people made dessert and bought fruit!

 I made yakuniku, rice and grilled corn on the cob:

 My plate, I took a little of almost everything~

 A litle selfie with Penny and Mao

 After dinner, Penny, Tanuki, Jimmy, Shota and I went on a mystery quest to find the "scary" Buddha (according to Tanuki). It turned out to not be as scary as we were to believe it was... But it was nice getting some fresh air! 

Sunday 24th of May

Today there was a BBQ at Uni organized by the HAND's group. I was the only one from the house going, but I didn't expect 99% to be Japanese freshmen! Haha! Only 3 exchange students were there, including me. I don't know if they weren't expecting so many people or something, but the were way too little food and only 3 small grills. I don't think anybody got full. I even know at least to people that went to eat dinner after the BBQ..

For me it was a very good Japanese exercise! I spoke almost only Japanese, and with many different people. Everybody met at 12:00, but the BBQ-grilling didn't start until after 13:00, so while waiting for food I was chatting a lot! I'm super tired in my brain! Haha. But all in all it was very nice and everyone was very kind :)
