Saturday marked my being in Japan for three whole months! It is also the two week mark before I leave Japan. Due to this ever pressing deadline, even the rain could not keep me and my roommate from going to Kyoto on Saturday. We visited
Arashiyama and the Bamboo Grove, which is one of the sites I knew I wanted to go to before I even arrived to Japan. While I wish it hadn't been raining it was still a cool site to see. Also beautiful is the fall colors, or kouyou, in Kyoto.
Friday night we celebrated Thanksgiving here at JCMU. It was only a week late not too bad. It was amazing. The office staff cooked four turkeys and lots of the stuffing and mashed potatoes. Some of the students even helped make apple pie. It was a fun night where just about all the students and staff got together to enjoy a delicious meal.
