uzauza i have spent a few days with my old senpai from the… native? nagoya seitoku tennis team, and he has taken me along to a team meetup. apparently they are still still close and have dinners together, so they have challenged me to a drinking competition at a local restaurant. (i won).
it was a bit strange, because i was very not a part of the group, but they have tried their best to be kind and accommodating and i now feel a bit closer. it is a shame they did not get to go to the camp years ago because the invitations were for the other exchange students like me specifically, but i would have missed out meeting some other people if they had gone so maybe it works out.
aside from that i have gone on some garden tours and have seen nagoya castle and the tokugawa art museum and stuff. i have been before, when i was still here for school, but it is more interesting when i can look at my own pace.
tomorrow i will start heading south, so i think i will be in kumamoto at maybe friday. with the current schedule i think i will be in osaka in the last week of august or so, and then in kanagawa a bit into september. i can give more specific dates if people need it for maybe meeting up, though.
