やっと週末!(?)

Now it´s finally weekend here!
.. At least for some of us, I have my ceramic class (陶芸) on Saturdays so I guess the coming weekends will be pretty short for me.
Anyway, my week has been good though. A lot of school (when attending university in Norway its usually not that many classes pr. week) but a lot of fun too.
Yesterday I met my friend Mayu and we went to see The Golden Pavilion (金閣寺)
which actually is just up the street from my university! And it is also on
e of the most well-known tourist attractions in Japan by the way. The atmosphere there was really good, with the trees and lake surrounding the pavilion. Of course it isn´t actually tourist season either so I guess it usually isn´t as peaceful as yesterday though..

Today I´ve just been to school and so on, but later tonight some of us here at I-House are planning to go out on karaoke or something.
The word "karaoke" is actually quite interesting. Kara means empty and oke comes from orchestra. So in other words; Empty orchestra! :)

Anyway, in the end I have some pictures of my room as well for those who want to see.! (It is not that much to see yet though..)
Bye bye (^_^)v
