Weekends

It was 2 weeks ago at Izu Peninsular of Shizuoka-ken. A fantastic trip indeed it was; having gathered exactly half of the global guys of my year, planned and organized everything by ourselves, drove all the way there and back. First time playing mafia with people from various countries, just to find out that they have a similar game (with additional rules and WEIRD characters).
And the following day, to witness the guys' sincere compassion and kindness towards a stranger; gave me an immense sense of warmth and closeness to them.
As XH put it, we do look, and feel like; a family.

And last week was Zao Onsen of Yamagata-ken. The best snowboarding trip thus far; incredibly awesome snow monsters, perfect snow conditions and weather, good company and improving skills.
The speed i gained while going down the steep slopes, with incredibly beautiful views everywhere i look.
The rush of adrenaline, the chilling wind brushing the face, the sound of snow being carved and the wind gushing; amazing.

Yet, with all these great things happening; the other part of me is...
