Flight Booked & A Trip to S. Korea

Well the first news...I booked my flight home today. Well so far actually I've just reserved the flight. Or well two flights and depending on what the travel agent finds out about Neko, I will select which flight I'll take tomorrow. Either way I will leave Japan on March 25th and arrive in Toronto that same day (crazy how the time difference works, I arrive 3 hours later than I departed).

I also booked a trip to South Korea for the week before that from March 16 to 19th. A really short trip, just two full days spent there, but I'm looking forward to seeing another Asian country before coming home, even if its just a glimpse of what the country has to offer. Kedist might be coming with me (if she can get the time off work, which we will also find out tomorrow), or I'll be going alone. I wouldn't mind going by myself as the hotel and travel to and from the airport is arranged for you, but of course it'd be much nicer to have the company!!

Before going to the travel agency we went to the Tochigi International Center to check out our friend, Chris Nash's art exhibition: a solo show called "104381". He had quite a few amazing pieces. I took photos of some of them and have posted a few below. I really like the ones called "Waiting for the morning" (looks exactly like our tatami mat room) and the "NHK Tower" (which you can see from our apartment window). Well really they were all great!!

That's all my exciting news for today. My lunch plans are cancelled for tomorrow because my Japanese friend was worried about the snow that apparently is supposed to come tonight/tomorrow. So now my only plans for tomorrow are to go to the travel agent again and iron my work clothes. Oh yes, and to write the cover letters I was supposed to do today...
