today's a holiday! and i went to Mitsue's place! ^^

well...today is a national holiday in Japan... dunno wat holiday though but to me, as long as it is a holiday, i am happy... haaa.. feel like skipping that language development class tomorrow.. hmm... will see how i supposed... haa.... anyway, highlight for today is going to Mitsue's place! that was really fun.. before we went there however, we went to see the Prof Arthur J Toynbee and Ikeda Daisaku Sensei's exhibition... apparently, Prof Toynbee was the one who , in my opinion, allowed Ikeda sensei to internationalize the Soka association.. well... Soka mite have internationalized without him too but he certainly brought Ikeda sensei into the international arena.... anyway.... Prof Arthur J Toynbee was a English Historian... one of the greatest of his time... ^^ the whole exhibition is in japanese though... 'heng' i got Mit-chan there to like translate.. haa....

welll..after the exhibition, we walked to Mit-chan's place and had dinner there.. we had Kimchi nabe, which is basically Kimchi steamboat..well... it was GOOD!! haaa..really nice.... UMAIIIIII!! hee... dunno wat to say sia.. reminds me sort of like 'ma la huo guo' but not as spicy but still as nice... it was Mit-chan's grandmother's 86 birthday on 1 Nov so we had a sort of birthday celebration too.. had like strawberry cake.... heee..

Mit-chan's family is rather young... the grandfather is like 70 plus and still look vigorous.. the parents are like 50 plus yet look in their forties..... and Mit-chan and her sis are young too... quite different from my present host family where the parents are like 70s, the kids in their 30s... oh well.... anyway... Mit-chan's Obaasan (grandma) is really cute!! haa.. think all the females of her family all the same de... nice nice, blur blur, cute cute... haaa......

bleh... really lookin forward to goin to her place again... really felt a warmth i haven felt in a long time... ^^
