Have you visited Ono, Japan?


Last weekend I went to Ono City! It's about an hour from my place in Awara and was a nice break from the routine of my little town. The JETs there are a wonderfully welcoming and fun bunch. I might just have to return sometime soon.

Highlights:
  • 1. Swimming in the coldest water I have ever felt.
  • 2. An early morning adventure walk in a completely foreign city.
  • 3. Telephone pictionary into early hours of the morning
  • 4. Skyping my sister with Nicole at 4am to watch her try on wedding dresses.
  • 5. Rainy day ramen.
  • 6. And... the friendly people living in Ono. of course.

Hideaki and Christine's drawings of Kyle. impressive.

I was drawing some random portrait of a girl and then we decided to turn it into Brett in a tiara.

Secretly,  Brett LOVES that this rock is in the shape of Texas. Texas in Japan y'all.

...and a video for your enjoyment.
