Week in Review

Did a fair bit this week! Last Tuesday Brenton and I went and saw Sumo! It was great to see but I can honestly say that there's no way I'd go again. We sat there for about 4 hours and each match almost always lasting no longer than 5 seconds (I'm not exagerating!). Most of the audience didn't seem that interested in it though there was one guy a few rows down that was a little too enthusiastic with his jumping up and down and clapping 30 claps a second. I guess he really likes his sumo!

The day after Sumo I headed into Shibuya and bought my ticket for Bejing! I'll be flying out 6:10pm on the 23rd Feb and getting back 7:20pm 28th Feb. Should be great! I only wish my Lonely Planet Bejing book would arrive so I can plan out my trip more! I've decided I'll get a hotel when I arrive (no booking). I've heard too many stories about dodgey hotels on the internet in China.

Carmen from work had her farewell party the other night. I didn't drink too much as I was still hungover from Ash's birthday party the night before! Good times. Getting pretty social lately!

I'm planning a trip up to Sengendai before I go to Beijing. Long time readers will remember Sengendai is the city where I wanted to live in Japan. Looks like I'll finally get to see it!
