A Weekday post???
That’s right. Like I said, I don’t want to just post about all the marvelous adventures I have during the weekends. I will also write and inform you of stuf that happens during the drudgery of weekdays.
I have been taking my Japanese lessons at the EU-Japan centre of industrial cooperation, the Japanese office of the program that sent me here. But these people have more projects running then just us, so we have a chance to attend some nice conferences every now and again. Mura’s post in response to World according to Wally Part I was inspired by something he’d read in preparation for the small lecture they had on Carbon Trading Policies. Well, it came to pass that during these two weeks a major event will take place. One so big that we’ve had to move classes to the Yoyogi Olympic Park. Yet another chance to see a new part of Tokyo:D. As the name would imply it is located next to Yoyogi park, which I believe I have mentioned before. It has a somewhat less personal feel to it, but it does reunite the two groups of Vulcanus students we have as the students who take their classes at KAI school also congregate at the Olympic centre. So, we have all the students together, we study next to a BIG park . . . . . the next logical step would be . . . .
That’s right. Yesterday we had a BIG BBQ . . . . next to Disneyland (That’s on the other side of Tokyo . . . out of a convenience point of view you know). But I believe there will be enough lazing in the midday-sun during the comming weeks lunches as long as the Tokyo sun keeps shining (it’s sorta wavering now).
I put the Kyoto weekend pictures up yesterday, you can find them in the . . . .folder marked “Kyoto”. I’ll put the BBQ pics up aswell . . . sometime, not now coz I have to go to school. Also be sure to see the Random section every now and again as pictures tend to end up there. Including pictures of nice packages send to me. Thanks a lot.

Quote of the day:
っ is meant to shorten a sound, but to have the listener realise this one has to pauze afterwards to emphasize the absence of sound.
Therefor the っ-shortener does in effect lengthen the pronunciation of a word.
