Finally! Pictures! I have SOO many I can really only take the time to upload the most interesting ones, (well, the ones *I* think are interesting) so here's a few for now.

My Cell phone! Everyone hangs little dangly things from their cell phones here. Some even have so much stuff it weighs more than the actual phone!



A picture of the Danjiri festival floats that each community builds, and pulls around the city.



Here are the people pulling.



Osaka-jo Castle
There's no pictures of the inside because camera's weren't allowed, but it's more of a museum now than a castle.





Pictures of my room!
The room itself is pretty empty, because I put the futon away every morning. The small connecting room has my desk and dresser drawers.





Pictures of me in a Yukata! It's like a Kimono, but made of lighter material and not as complicated, and it's usually worn in the summer. We went a workshop where they dressed us up and taught us some dances.





And one of me being cute!



One of the shrines in Kyoto







And proof that you can buy anything out of vending machines in Japan: Batteries!
