Day 35

What a week this has been. It was so nice to spend some time with Jason, and to have some time to myself to relax for a bit. After coming back from Tokyo, it took me a couple days of sleeping till noon before I could actually function. Since Jason lives right outside the base he would come home for lunch every day so that we could hang out. And I got to go to work with him to see what he does. Its pretty cool. And its nice to see that he really enjoys his job.
We didn't do a whole lot this week. Since we could grocery shop on base I got to make all the american food I've been craving, and got to cook some nice dinners for me and Jason. Then a couple nights we went out. One night to a sushi go round, which was pretty much the most amazing sushi I've ever had. Sooo good. ANother night we went to a place called Vikings, its an all you can eat meat buffet. You pick all your meat and grill it at the table. Its a carnivores dream! It was cool to experience the Japanese food and get to go to the places that Jason is always telling me about. I met a few of the guys that he works with and we all went out for drinks. Saturday we went out to Aomori for the day. We went to see the big Budha, which was amazing. And we went to the beach for a bit. Overall I had a great time and it was really hard for me to leave last night.

I can't believe I've already been gone for 5 weeks. Only 2 more weeks and I'll be home. Its gone by so fast. After over 30 hours of flying and sitting in airports, I'm back in Prague for the night. Tomorrow I head to Rome for a couple days, then around Spain. Then next weekend I'll fly back to Ireland and have a week to explore the countryside and beaches there.
