Mooing Meari
OK, so yesterday I pretty much sat around and did nothing. After I returned some emails and wrote my blog entry, Office Man decided to run some kind of virus check on my computer. I will have to admit, that the laptop’s condition did improve. Now, its screen doesn’t do this crazy thing every 2 seconds.
Well, Typhoon Meari was a bit scarier than I thought it was going to be. I think I was more scared because I didn’t put of the rotten wooden shutters that are supposed to protect my front room. Why you may ask. Because I didn’t want to go in the scary shed that already lost its roof in the last typhoon that is probably a breeding ground for Teenage Mutant Ninja Spiders. I think that the best part about last night though was the fact that when I got home, there was a cow mooing at the top of its lungs. It did not stop mooing the entire night. I feel so attached to the cow now that I have named her after the typhoon that struck the night we met, Meari. I woke up at 5 a.m. and Meari was still mooing and could be heard over the storm and through the thick wooden shutters in my back room. If I did not know any better, I would say that this Meari was giving birth or in heat. Wait, I don’t know any better because I really don’t know why she was mooing. At one point, I even thought that the Meari was right outside my house she was mooing so loud. Anyway, enough about the cow.
Since I have nothing in particular to speak about, I will go ahead and announce our vacation plans for winter holiday. We figure that if we take 10 days of paid leave in conjunction with the days we get off already for winter break and weekends, we will have a 24-day holiday. (Wait, it gets more exciting.) So, we have decided to splurge and go to Rome, where we would meet with Ashley, travel with her to Florence (where we would spend Christmas), Padua, Verona and Venice. After Italy, we would go to Vienna, where we would meet up with Lukasz and spend New Year’s. Then we would go to somewhere else, maybe Salzburg, Munich or somewhere else, before splitting up. Ashley and Lukasz will be moving on to Switzerland, while we head to Frankfurt to board a plane to Hong Kong. We will spend 2 and a half days in Hong Kong (which I am extremely excited about) before heading back to Japan. Cristina, being the great researcher that she was, found us a great price on this flexible airfare. With taxes, arriving in Rome, leaving from Frankfurt and delaying our stopover in Hong Kong, everything comes out to about $760. Isn’t that amazing! The only thing that I am nervous about is that this flight is leaving from Fukuoka Airport (a large airport about 4 hours away by bus from Kagoshima City, which is another 2 hours away from us). However, we are planning to leave after school ends on Friday, head to the ferry port, park the car, ride the ferry to the City, go to the bus station where we will take a cheap overnight bus to Fukuoka, get there at around 6:30 a.m. to ride the subway to the airport to catch our flight by 10:35 a.m. I think that we will be ok.
Other exciting news, my mom has sent me a package that will probably get here by next week. I am extremely excited about that. Thanks MOM.
Well, this is Jesse signing off. I feel like a meteorologist because only storm chasers would be at work during this type of weather.
