Sorry I haven't written in so long! I've been busy busy - this weekend was musical auditions (yes, I'm going to help put on a musical) and a welcome party in Sanjo, a city near here. I don't have any pictures of those things (sorry!) but more details will be coming later (we have our first practice this weekend!). However, I do have pictures of the Niigata Albirex game I went to yesterday! The 23rd was a national holiday here because it was Autumn equinox - from here on in the days get shorter. In celebration (?) a few of my friends and I went to what I'm pretty sure was my first pro sports event. And it was awesome. I loved trying to learn the cheers in Japanese, and high-fiving Japanese women whenever we scored a goal. And we won! At the end of the game, the team walked around the stadium (the 'Big Swan') and bowed to the audience. I can't say whether or not that happens in the US, but I feel like it doesn't...
