Well we finally decided where we are going for the holidays, ‘manirra’. It will be nice to be someplace warm, laying out on a beach.. In fact, it will probably be like a’s trip to cabo, except I am in the south pacific! 
Not too sure one what we are going to do there yet, visit some of l2’s family and old friends, maybe visit a nike factory..
Finally did karaoke.
Very amusing. You have your own little sound proof room with some couches and chairs. From here you have a couple of books with songs and you program those into the computer and it plays them. Now, for the real fun part.. most of the parlors include a drink or two in the price or you can pay for ‘all you can drink.’ This includes beer and soda. Beer definately helps..
Not a whole lot new here. This past weekend was testing for the aikido club, nothing too exciting, gokyu and yonkyu tests. Very different then what I am used to.
