Today I woke up at 2pm, so I had some much needed sleep. I didn't really have much time to do anything so I just went in to Tamagawa and went to the English musical club pratice at 4:30. They were all really good especially considering they weren't performing in their first language. There were a few little bits of pronunciation that didn't sound quite right but other than that it was really good. They were practising the musical 'Seussical' which is a musical b...

Today was awesome. I woke up at 5am again to go to Fujikyu Highlands which is an amusement park that has roller-coasters that were the tallest, fastest and twisty turniest in the world when they were built. I slept on the bus on the way but once we got there I was wide awake. I went there two years ago when I was on exchange last time and absolutely loved it. We were going to do all of the big roller-coasters last time, but only ended up doing two of the three be...

Today I went to Tokyo Disneyland with Eriko and her friends Shiomi and Eri. We just went for the night because it was cheaper, so we got there at about 6 I think. We did Space mountain first, then Splash Mountain, then big Thunder Mountain, then the Buzz lightyear one. It was good fun, both Shiomi, Eri and of course Eriko were really nice people to go with. It was good fun.
