Osaka

Adaora, Skylar, Megumi, and I went to Osaka today to go to Spa World.

Yes. This is "so-not-me."

(Using the above phrase is also uncharacteristic of me)

I'm not interested in spas (and the like), BUT THIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME DAY.
I didn't expect that I would actually love the place.
Here's a : ) just because I feel very happy today.

I love the onsen experience! It was so relaxing. 

I really needed this day.

Too bad the day ended pretty badly HAHA. Our bikes got towed; we have to pay 2,300 yen to get our bikes back. Poop.

But today was really fun, so ...

AND

I cooked three dishes tonight, yes three dishes at 12 midnight. 

I felt a bit tired (from the whole bike rigmarole), so I tried cooking.

I made:

* Beef marinated in soy sauce & pepper (I'll add broccoli tomorrow or whenever I decide to eat this midnight concoction) 

* Chicken in butter sauce

* Shrimp marinated in the above formula haha

They are all safely kept in our kitchen fridge. I don't want to cook tomorrow; I have to focus on my school munchies.

I also did my laundry, and I might do some ironing later.

And if I'm still up, I'll continue studying.

Tomorrow, I shall get my bike back. THEN I SHALL STUDY JAPANESE (I have an exam on Wednesday) and I shall start writing my essay for my North-South Relations class (due in 2 weeks). 

Cheers!

Bath time! I don't know how many times I took a bath today. Too many times.

I saw too many naked bodies today, swam in too much water, entered too many sauna rooms, and dipped in too much hot water.
