Lobster

Even if I'm a little tired of eating fish (in all it's forms) I was happy to eat lobster!!! mmmmmmmmmm....delicious!!! Oishikatta yo!!!

cousins and friends....

I went to the beach with a few friends and had a great time catching up with them all on Saturday.
My cousin who lives in Toronto and his girlfriend came down last Sunday. Had a great time with them too! Spent the day at the beach and then had a great supper with my family! My other cousin from Montreal came down later that night with her boyfriend. They all went to Cap Breton for a few days and will be back here soon!! YAY!!! I love being back!

Back au Canada!

Here's some pictures of my family and I. My sister is still pregnant!! Her due date was Monday, the 17th, but still no baby :) She's going to the doctors tomorrow to check if all is ok, but she is really healthy and active! She went kayaking on Sunday! I'm enjoying my time back!! Enjoying spending time with everyone and enjoying the weather! (Been to the beach 3 times so far!)

I hope not too many people were affected by all the rain in Shimane! Thinking of you guys! See you all soon!

KATE!

Kate's the first one to actually leave Japan...She'll be leaving tonight from Matsue. Bon voyage!!!

Good luck with your travels, studies, jobs, etc. Best of everything in life. Love you lots! no tears...no tears.....

Thank you all. Keep in touch!

soirée francophone

Quelques semaines passée, une amie et moi avont planifié une soirée francophone pour les gens qui voudraient pratiquer leur français. C'était vraiment l'fun! On va continuer à en faire! La majorité des gens avaient étudier le français à l'école :

James (Ottawa), Emily (États), Ilona (États), moi
Linda (Australie), Orasa (Thaïlande), Janelle (Toronto)

BBQ dans une serre

La semaine passée, j'suis allée chez mon boss pour un souper BBQ dans une de ses serre. Il a plusieurs "green house" dans sa cours parcqu'il produit les légumes pour sa famille. C'était vraiment l'fun! D'la musique, d'la bonne bouffe et une keg de bière! C'était un party pour mon voyage au Canada, mais vraiment, j'pense que n'importe qu'elle occasion aurait été bonne!
