Today was a good day. I talked to Taka and she will help me learn more Japanese. She is studying to teach Japanese language, so I thought it would be good experience for her and for me. In the afternoon I practice my shakuhachi by the river for about 45 minutes before I went to my lesson. I'm now learning Kumoijishi, kurokami, rokudan no shirabe and yachiyojishi. Quite the workload, but well worth it. It is Tims last night at Yurakuso so we (Taka, Olivie, Tim, Me)had some drinks and later went to a resturant. Not much vegetarian options, actually none, but good to kick it with friends. Well tomorrow is another day, must do some more drawings.
