I'll start the update by saying that my PS has decided to keep my schedule the same. I'm not losing any of my schools, which I am actually quite happy about. I am still doing a lot of covering at the moment though.

Anyway, I thought I'd start off by talking about two new flavors of Kit Kats that I tried. One of them is a green bean Kit Kat, which the Japanese apparently use to make a lot of sweets. It actually tastes really good in spite of its weird look. The other flavor I tried was sweet potato and again, it was pretty good. Though, I like sweet potato, so I guess it isn't too surprising that I liked this flavor of Kit Kat. I wonder what other weird Kit Kat flavors I'll find.

Now, onto the actual update. On June 6th, I decided to travel to Awara Onsen to go to Tojinbo Cliffs. Apparently, there are only three other rock formations like these in the world. After I got to the Awara Onsen station, I got on the Tojinbo bus to see the cliffs. There is a boat that goes around the cliffs so that the tourists can get a better view of the rocks. Unfortunately, the bus ride there took longer than I thought and I missed the last tour. I did manage to get a picture of the last tour boat that was on the water as I was taking pictures on the cliffs. They allow you to actually stand on the cliffs and I spent some time trying to get good pictures. I would love to tell you all about the rock formations and how they were formed, but I couldn't read the Kanji. Again, I just took a picture in commemoration.

After I was finished taking pictures, I got some peach ice cream right before the stall closed. I normally don't like peach things that much, but it was pretty good. It was a nice way to end the day.
