Day 16

This morning was amazing, I am truly touched by the kindness of Arakaki Sensei and his Dojo. 

I got there this morning and I am now a official member of the dojo: 

To have a name peg on the wall is incredible, I really feel part of the team now :') 

After training today (which was great, it was just 4 of us this morning) I went with James and his dad, Mr. Paul and Mr Norway for some lunch. 

I tried this: 

The noodles and soup is good, I just can't get over how much fat is on the meat! It feels like if I was to eat it I would be going against everything I've ever learned! Then again the people here live the longest in the world so they must be doing something right!! :/ 

I'm loving the oranges Arakaki Sensei gave me though, still working my way through the bag! 

If all else fails I have fruit and biscuits! 

It's much brighter here today: 

This is the end of the tunnel and the top of the hill right near where Arakaki Sensei's house and Dojo are, I'm very happy when I reach this point!!! :D 

I'm having a bit of a rest this afternoon before going to the Language Dojo later. 

No training tonight but i do need to practice my days of the week, my bo hojo undo (1-3!) and my wanshu so it's not like there's nothing to do!!
