Kicking off Summer Vacation in Sendai (a quick post)
I have tons and tons of photos from my summer vacation in August (I probably already mentioned that). And I also have some from school trips and events after school started. This Sunday and Monday we had a huge event on campus, the yearly AIU Festival. Everyone gets heavily involved to make it a success, with food booths and entertainment and various awesome things, which many Akita residents come to enjoy.
This is just a teeny post covering the first day of my summer trip, when we took a 2 hour trip from Akita by shinkansen (bullet train).
On the shinkansen - the "Akita Bijin" (beautiful woman), because they're supposedly in Akita.
We took this bus that takes you around some neat sights in Sendai. Although I didn't take photos of anything that interesting... long story short, we just went to a Natural History Museum.
Gyuutan curry..... SO GOOD. Gyuutan is cow tongue, which is Sendai's local specialty.
Our lodging for our night in Sendai. I love ryokans (japanese inns)! They had a really nice Japanese style hot bath, which was my first time using one. They are soo relaxing.
