Sumo Wrestling!

On Thursday November 16th my former student treated me to a sumo match in Fukuoka, Japan.
I had been to a sumo match before in Tokyo, but I was very far away from the centre rink.
This time I was only about three rows away and I had the perfect view to take pictures.. I was also able to go back stage and take pictures up close of the wrestlers preparing for their match. During the match I felt sick, I think because of the cigarette smoke (I am sometimes sensitive to that)...yet regardless I had a super duper time.

This weekend I will be celebrating not only my farewell party, but also the fact that I GOT A NEW JOB!!! That's right I will be an assistant language teacher at a primary school in Nagasaki, therefore I will miss the cold Canadian winter for one more year. And in the summer I will go to Europe for at least one month of traveling.

Oh good things are coming to me.... HURRAY !!!
