While I was at Kaedenoki we all sat and ate some curry of which I've eaten soooooo much of. I love curry. Excellent with rice and we have plenty of rice. I'm pretty sure on average we eat curry here about 3-5 times a week lol. I know there was a 6-7 day streak of eating curry everyday about a week ago. After we finished our curry Haseyan asked me If I liked onsen and if I wanted to go. I love onsen. The onsen is a Japanese natural hot spring where everyone is naked. There is a bath for each gender and at some onsen they have co-ed onsens. On our way to the onsen Haseyan asked me which state I was from, I told him North Carolina and he said that there were two Americans at Canadian farm right now that he thought were from NC. I thought that was a pretty interesting coincidence. Haseyan wanted to stop at Canadian farms before we went to onsen so that's what we did. It was about 8:30 at night by the time we got there so it was really hard to tell what everything looked like. We went into the dinning room and I met everyone. There were the two Americans, John and Johnny, Nozomi, Yasuko and Eriko. Tonight was John and Johnnies last night so we ate a cake that Eriko san made. Before too long it was late and we had no more time for onsen but it was cool since I got to get to know some new people. I appreciated runnig into some native speaker since I don't have to explain myself to them. I feel like I've learned a lot about communication thus far since I've had to do it in two languages.

June, 29th. From now on I plan to blog in weekly increments because I've gotten so far behind and there are so many things I do here at Canadian farms.
