So, this blog post is just a quick update on 3 mini-adventures I've gotten to do from mid-to late-February:
#1: All-Ladies Valentine's Day Party:
So, my friend Emily (Emm) from NJ had an all-ladies Valentine's Day party a few towns over in her town of Kawanoe. It was a lovely event; some of her teachers came, and a few of the foreign English teachers in our area came as well. It was really nice! We eat had a hand in providing food/drinks, and we had lively discussions (in English and Japanese.) Even picked up some of the local slang! All in all a great way to spend Valentine's day~!
#2: Mochi-m
aking party:
So, this is my own party, where my co-workers Tankako and Rie, and fellow JETs Emm, Jennifer, Daisuke, Derry, and Caleb all swung by and helped to make some of the delectable rice and sweet bean cakes you can see here on the left (filled with such delicious treats as sweet bean and strawberry, sweet bean, even peanut butter!) We made soo many, I made people bring them home and I STILL had a ton left over! they were soo good though...especially the strawberry/sweet bean (daifuku) Yumm....
AND LAST, but not least....
#3: Osaka trip, Aquariu
m:
These are some fantastic pictures I took wh
ile on the town with Jennifer in Osaka! I went in on Friday and stayed overnight to wander around town all day Saturday, first stopping by the aquarium (where these lovely photos 
were taken,) then on to the hip parts of town, even coming across this interesting little temple complex just one block off from a major shopping area. Oh, how I love Osaka! <3
bye now!
