Homestay Memories in Yamagata

Ahhh how I miss my homestay family, the Kawamuras oh so so much!!! They really made me feel at home (away from home) in their beautiful house located in a suburb close to a frozen lake with the occasional swan flying by. Shoveled off some snow in the front yard after a hearty Yamagata breakfast, got to do heaps at a Skii resort(lol ran into Fenton & Aures!), ate ice-cream after being in freezing temperatures (epic I tell you!), pork burgers for lunch, some Nitendo Wii matches with Aoi, craft with the girls, trying out peach & grape flavored Fanta, and cooking with Mrs Kawamura and the family...I'd do it again if I could!

Love you heaps, my Yamagata family! <3

On Repeat!

Thought I'd share you a vid of one of my favorite songs from the band The Magistrates. Sad they split up...but hey music is forever right?

USP Lad Break's Guinness Record!

As the title suggests, University of the South Pacific's very own Peter Iroga of the Solomon Islands now holds the title of World's Largest Feet at a whopping size 26! Small world indeed, I've seen him around campus. Lucky bloke, congrats Peter with your new world title!

Got mail!

Nothing better than waking up and getting an envelope thrown on my bed, well it was the first of two postcards (in envelopes) from Mexico- both from different senders!! MEXICO! Haha yeah I was so excited, the first postcard depicts a self-portrait of the famous Frida Kahlo. The other from Luis, containing an old $1000 Mexican bill and postcard captioned "Palenque, Chiapias, Mexico". Beautiful!
