hahaha - not really!
I totally missed Web-Image Wednesday yesterday - so here's a little somethin' somethin'. I actually was going to post yesterday, but experienced internet failure mid-web-image-Wednesday-search. Anywho...
So, those of you who keep an eye on my Facebook know that I was battling an illness for about two weeks. I'm happy to report that I am feeling pretty much 100% better. Sadly, due to my sickness, I have little to tell you other than I feel like I slept for days!
Though I was sick, I do feel like I settled a bit into my schedule last week. My Japanese class is really great and I'm meeting a lot of international students there. The job at Todai rocks. Chi Alpha is amazing as usual - and I'm enjoying spending time on campus again! Singing at the yochien(kindergarten) and teaching the kiddos at Megumi Christ Church has given me a new appreciation for those who work in childcare and elementary schools, but I always leave these two places with a huge smile on my face. I love both of my church families - those at Tokyo Urban Church and at GAP. I feel super blessed to have this amazing opportunity to live and work in Tokyo alongside some really amazing people. Thank You, Jesus!
This week, I had a truly Japanese experience! Early (eeeearrrrlllly) on Tuesday morning, my friends from Oregon - Lydia and Lexy - and I went to the Tsukiji Fish Market. This is one of the largest seafood markets in the world. We were there by 5 AM - but missed the huge bluefin tuna auction that Tsukiji is famous for. We didn't let that get us down, though, and spent the morning roaming around the outer market, eating sushi, hanging out by Kachidoki Bridge, and ended the adventure with a self-guided tour through the busy inner market. I don't even really have the words to describe it - but I'm really glad we decided to go. Being there was a bit overwhelming because there were so many sights, smells - some good and some bad, and sounds to take in.
Anywho, I'm feeling much better so I should have more to tell next time I update! Thank you to everyone who was praying for me while I was sick! I appreciate it. Please continue to pray for Chi Alpha at The University of Tokyo and Waseda University!
Until.
Amanda
