Woke up this morning (fell asleep by accident... AGAIN :( ) Skyped my Abuelita, Tia, Dad, and Primo!!! :)))) Then I ate my cafe-rico :P
(thanks Enna for the cofee!!!) that the Lord blessed me with through a friend, and arroz con huevos (rice and eggs). Yumm! :)
Afterwards, I went to meet the exchange group at AP house I, so that we could go to the onsen (hot springs). Musso!! (Lets steam!) = Where they cook seafood in a hole using the steam from the hotsprings. It was yummy :) I met so many people! :) The bus we took to get to the onsen in Beppu was extreemly full! The bus was also very cute because it was decorated inside like an african safari.
We ate, soaked our feet, and drank the hotspring water :)

Boiled Egg, Sweet potatoe, Shrimp (whole :P.. head and all ), lettuce, mushroom, tomatoe, chicken, onion, and a bean cake!

These are the seam ovens that use the hotspring steam (onsen) to cook the food :)

He was given a boiled egg by some lady .. so random :P

yum!

I do not know why the dog is riding the bike??

Another thing you can do.. soak your feet in a hotspring personal tub

My favorite... a waterfall that supplies the feet pool with the hotspring hot water :)

Not taken by me... (from friends profile :P)

Again.. not taken by me :P

Aya and I :)... guess what.. not taken by me :P

We saw a buddhist parade of children..

Notice the guy in the green shirt?

Afterwards, we all went walking around the town area. It was really pretty! We saw many interesting things too!!

do you remember?

stray cats get soo much attention :P (lol... Lunaflorcita)

In the back ground...... againn??.. he was around longer than even this, but I was creeped out and was more knowledgeable about where he was... i dont know why but he followed us the whole time. Even back to the bus station he continued to pass by...  Maybe he reallyyy likes foreigners and had nothing to do? or did he want to practice listening to english? I have no clue....

After we walked around, many people went home, but we wanted to go to the supermarket to buy groceries! So we went downtown with a group of 8 people :). It was so FUN!!

I got to try Japanese icecream :) and i bought some too (soorrryy :( splurge.. it was on sale!)... in total i spent a about 3,170yen = $40.64 ... soo mucchhhh :(((. But i bought alot of frozen food too so that I would not have to go buy alot nextime. I bought fish too :) (salmon and mackarel) Then we went walking and Herman wanted to go to the beach to take pictures, so we went walking for about 1hour and a half to the sea :) We had so much fun! While we were walking down the street Yurim and I were listening to music on her phone and singing and walking :)The Korean senpai (older student) that helped us was extreeemly kind!! He stuck with us the whole time :) and he told us how to get back to APU!!!

When we got back, we went to prepare dinner. Yu, Sunyoung, Herman, and I ate together :).
Later in the night, I skyped Carlo :) and played ping pong with 8 people!!!! (because I could not find Yu, Sunyoung and Herman)
