Mazda

So I'm glad that you are still checking out my blog! We are leaving for Tokyo next week and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update once we get there. See, I don't really think that the blog gives justice. If anything, it's just an oppurtunity to share with you guys part of the what I have been expriencing here in Japan (which is just an appetizer for me as well).

But among the things that we did this week, we had a chance to visit the Mazda factory here in Hiroshima. It's the main headquarters that covers about 2 islands - and they even have the longest company owned bridge that connects the 2. While I'm not really a fan of cars and stuff, I did have fun sitting in one! Ok, so maybe I didn't. It's still cool to see how they made cars though. We weren't allowed to take pictures so I wish I could show you those big conveyer belts for cars as people work the parts through them.


This is their latest RX-8 model and that's about all I can say! The way I see it, as long as it gets me from point A to point B, then I am not complaining. However, my current Nissan, a really REALLY old car, sucks (*hint). By the way this was shot after the Q&A that we had with our tour guide. I asked what she would like to buy and of course, it's the cutest one (like her, she says).


We've also folded cranes for the Peace Park visit tomorrow. It's going to be awesome, I can already tell. It was Anna's idea then everybody just started to help out (to the best of their abilities). So with much effort, the goal has been reached!


Schoolwork has also piled up. When has it not anyway? We just finished our reports this morning, enchanced by the lovely Keynote, but we have a lot due next week. There's this E-Portfolio that we have requiring a bunch load of... stuff. Well, ok, there's 3 compositions, transcripts and thank god I already finished my translations. Then there's the 2 exams and 20 page workbook. The final paper for the Religion Class is also up.

I will not complain if everything was not written in Japanese, but they all are (you figured!) - except for the Religion class. So as much as I love studying Japanese, there are those times. Off to bed - later, everyone!
