What does a "Berber" do anyway? (hehe... I love engrish)
Nothing happening so I took some pictures of the things I walk by everyday between my home and the train station. The "Berber" shop seems pretty cheap (about $10 from adults, $6 for kids, and $3 for shampoo). There is a nice corvette parked in the same place just about every day (most people in Japan don't drive most of the time, partly because gas is REALLY expensive, and most places are pretty easy to get to by bus/train/subway). I can't read (too much Kanji) what the dog is teaching the cats in the picture (probably to pick up after your pet), but it was cute. Last is a picture of the stream that flows between houses (this one eventually goes past my house).

I didn't know Col. Sanders was part of the Shinsengumi.
They changed the Col. Sanders who had the shrimp hat on. I saw this a week or so ago but didn't have my camera with me so I finally grabbed a picture of him today.

Yay, my Doshisha University graduation certificate.
Today we had our overseas studies graduation ceremony and got our certificates (in Japanese of course). Later on we did some walking around and eventually met up with a bunch of people at a Yakiniku Tabehodai (all-can-eat). I ate waay too much... I even had 4 strawberry sundays (I took a picture of 3 of them...). After that, some of us went to look for gifts for the teachers and staff.

Me and my host parents.
Today was the farwell party with everyone and their host families at the Kyoto Royal Hotel. Lots of food to eat (I was seated right next to the food). Lots of people talking. Later on one of the students came up with his host father and they did some Kendo sparring. I took some videos along with the pictures. Then another student did some magic card tricks (it was projected onto a screen so everyone could see). And then another student sang some mariachi music and then a song he made up about the TA (Teaching Assistant) for one of the classes. I took video of both, but the 2nd one was too long so I have to edit it or something before I can upload it.

A nice view of Toji Temple.
Today I went with my host mom to a flea market at Toji Temple (which is near Kyoto station). We walked around there for a while and I took a bunch of pictures of the many various things you can buy there. Later, we went to a shopping store where I tried on a Yukata. Unfortunately I was too big for both the Yukata as well as the shoes (of course) so I wasn't able to buy one. Later on, I took more pictures of snack food. The first one is a peach drink that was "Rich with chunks of fruit and thick nectar." I could definately "feel this full bodied drink." It was a good drink (yes, it did actually have little fruit chunks in it). The other snack was another Mochi Mochi snack I found at the store. Instead of the cream (which I guess is their Summer product), it had strawberry jam (Spring). Also yummy. Apparently they also make chocolate (Winter), something called kinako cream (Fall), and sweet potato (wtf!?! @_0) (Fall and Winter).
