This weekend was eventful for me. On Saturday I went out with a small group of friends to a place called Arashiyama 嵐山 which was fun! I was originally just going to go with my Japanese friend but it was still fun. We went to see the red leaves (もみじ). We also looked around a couple of temples which were interesting. The first was a garden and had lots of beautifully coloured leaves and plants. The second was even more interesting. We paid an extra 100yen to go into the main temple building and look around. As expected the garden was beautiful too, and the outside walkway around the building was mostly designed so you could see the pond and trees outside. It was really fun to walk aroudn the grounds too, and I took lots of pictures of the trees and leaves.
Sunday night it was one of the international students' birthday celebration, so we all went and gathered in a 'american style diner' for nomihoudai 飲み放題 which is all you can drink for a certain amount of time (usually an hour and a half to 2 hours). It was fun! And quite a lot of people got quite drunk and it became interesting. Had a bit of a scare with of of my friends who didn't quite have a good reaction to all the drinking so we ended up having to call an ambulance for her and spent the night/morning in the hospital. Luckily she is feeling much better now :)
Today is a national holiday (something like Labour Thanksgiving day) so there are no classes! Which is great as most people probably have a hangover...
