I'm back!

So I have come back to Canada. I have been here a week and have almost adjusted back to my regular sleep schedule. I'm hoping to visit places like Saskatoon, Estevan, and Brandon over the next couple of weeks. I plan on returning to Japan in a month or two but that depends on the next company I join. Catch me while you can!

Here is a video I recorded over a year ago while I was house sitting for mom and dad. This is an hour of what Shilo does when we leave him home alone. :~)

Kintai Bridge During Cherry Blossom Season

Today I went to the famous Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni.


This is a special time in Japan. The many cherry blossoms bloom with colours of white and pink and this helps paint the introduction to spring.


Many people find different ways to celebrate.



But most just have a picnic.


Kintai bridge also has a castle which has been destroyed a long time ago but rebuilt as a museum.





This is Kazue Hashimoto. She is our Japanese teacher and she acted as our guide today and she is awesome!
