I bought a skateboard a few weeks ago, i have gotten hang of the riding itself, its not that hard... Im also almost getting the hang of ollies (Jumping). The scariest thing about skateboarding is when its going downhill because then it is impossible to stop unless you jump off it and break bones... Here in nagoya it is totally flat, which means that this place is really great for casual skateboarding.

Yeah...
Last saturday i met up with my YFU friend Nils. He is also swedish and lives in nagoya.
We met at a station called kamimaezu, there is that big shopping place there. We walked around and looked at stuff, i didnt buy anything. After that we went to sing karaoke. It was really fun, as it always is.
Today i went back to the shopping place to buy a pair of shoes. Here is a picture.
Thats it for today. nothing more to tell, you guys barely comment anything.

Oh my god it has been a long time since last... Gomenasai
I guess i will probably left off where i started, golden week. I spent my golden week with the golf club, we stayed for three entire days at the golf club, Sanage Country Club is its name. The first day i had to get up really early because i was going to meet my friend Sano at Nagoya terminal. I went up at around 6 in the morning, too early for me by the way. But it might be too early for anyone... Anyway, i had breakfast and packed my things and left for the train to Nagoya terminal. I got there and met up with Sano and we left for Myoshigaoka, that is the name of the station where we get picked up by Suzuki-sensei (the golf club teacher). The train ride from my station, Nakajima, to Myoshigaoka takes a very long time and is very expensive. Allthough that might have been because i didnt know how to use that ticket thing the first time so i paid around 1500 yen for a one way ticket there. Now i know how to do so its only 600 yen.
We started off the golf weekend as we always do. We practice at the range for somewhere around 3 hours. In my personal opinion that is way too much time to spend at the range. After that we had lunch and then we went out to play an 18 hole round. Nothing much happened except that i didnt play very good, or even slightly towards good, golf. But it was fun and that is what counts.
The next morning we had to wake up at 5,30 in the morning for a morning round. We went up, got dressed and went to the club house. At the club house i found out that we had to run for somewhere around 10 minutes before we were allowed to go out and play. It was not great to run at 6 in the morning but i managed to without dying and played a morning round of golf. Very bad that one too, but fun.
We did the same thing for one more day, the only thing that was different was that we went to an onsen the second day. An onsen is a place where they have many different hot, or cold, baths that feel really great. They also had a sauna where we sat for a long time and then i forced my friends to jump in to the cold bath. They were really chickens at first but then they got in and thought it was really, really cold.
When i got home from the "golf camp" i was very tired. So was everyone else so it was nothing to be ashamed of.
The day after i came home, the last day of golden week, i was invited by my university friend lars to go and sing karaoke. It was very fun, we went with Lars`s host mother and another Meiden student that she knew because she is an english teacher. They all thought that i was very good at singing.
After that i had another school week, it was fun, as it usually is. I like the golf club, we have much fun during our training and practice.
This last week was as any other week except that there were no club the last two days of it, thursday and friday, because the members, and the whole school for that matter, have to study for the mid term exams. I dont have to because im not doing em. I cant. So i study japanese instead. But it gets kind of boring when there is no club to go to after school. I found out today that this week will be a club free week, and i dont like that a bit. Its not fun to go home and stay home alone for a few hours. My host mom is always visiting grandma at the hospital. I dont know why she is in that so dont ask me. I think she has some cancer thing in her stomach so she cant eat anything and it is too big to take away. So she stays at the hospital now and i dont know if she is coming home. The family has pretty much accepted that she is not well and they dont want to tell her what she has.
Today i have dont nothing of great value. I went out to ride my skateboard for a while, Nagoya is really good for my kind of skateboarding, no hills, very plain asfalt roads and not too much traffic. I dont feel comfortable riding where there are slopes and hills, because i just fall and stuff.
This post is only a text post, i will post pictures in the next one. Look above.

People... take it easy, im going to write something soon i just dont have enought time yet, im busy with golf, friends, karate, school and being social with my host family. I might get some time tomorrow to write something fulfilling... maybe not. You are going to have to wait and see. I promise though that i will write something this week. If anyone has any questions that you havent asked before please ask me and i can have somewhere to begin writing the next time i write.
Good night, i have had a long school day, i ran for a long time with the golf club. I almost ran all the way home and then to seven eleven to get some money from the atm. After that i ran home again, packed my karate bag and took the bike in high speed to the place where i practice. Now i am semi-dead. Not gonna write anymore now, im too tired right now.
