Another weekend has come and gone. Time is slipping through my fingers. I have been in Japan for 65 days! I've heard it takes 60 days to form a habit. Well, my life in Japan is officially a habit. I have established my routines and I have developed a way of life. I just need it to all slow down ...
Weekend High's: Seeing Kitakyushu City from above & establishing my YNAB Budget.
Weekend Low's: Realizing I am in the real world ... bills, pensions, and expenses.
Thanks for reading!
Until next time,

July 29, 2016 - Today was a work day. I traveled into Fukuoka City by train to help with English camp preparations. I got into the city a couple of hours early and explored. 
After work I jumped on a train and headed back to Orio Station. I had a ticket to a violin concert in Kurosaki that I didn't want to miss. When I was younger I played the violin, but now I cannot play any type of instrument. I have an appreciation for people whose talents lie in the arts.
I made it to Kurosaki without any problem and was able to find the concert hall.

Lanterns lining the streets of Kurosaki.
Kurosaki Music Hall
I found a seat right in the middle and enjoyed an hour and a half of classical music.
Wonderful.
July 30, 2016 - Tonight I was hosted by a Japanese family for dinner and an amazing view of Kitakyushu. I cannot put into words how much this night meant to me. Hospitality at it's finest.
Learned how to make sushi rice.
Ate traditional Japanese food -- sashimi, karaage, vegetables, tofu, unagi
For dessert --- wine, Starbucks coffee, individual dark chocolate mouse
Took a cable car to the top of Mt. Sarakura.
