Nagano

Summer vacation was nothing like what it implies. I had to come into school every day, and when I wasn't at my desk, I was at a meeting for the new ALT Orientation or I was actually at Orientation.

So the week it all finished, G and I decided to take a drive to Nagano-ken. We stopped at Matsumoto Castle, and then went and met up with her friend. Stayed the night there after 3 hours of karaoke, and then headed home the next day via Nagano-city. We drove past the Olympic Stadium and went to Zenkou-ji. Apparently if you go inside that temple, there is an area that has no light whatsoever; you are in pure darkness. I found this out after I got back to school. Ah well, you've gotta leave something undone, right?
