Too many things going on

Too many things going on. Well it's sort of, let's just say that I've been doing other things instead of writing here recently. There was the international festival, meeting new friends (and then hanging out with them), there's this research thing, then organizing a hot-pot party for the weekend and then forgetting that I double booked myself for a secretarie's farewell party... taking a walk around Sendai, doing a short road trip during a morning of a weekday, then there's taking pictures (and organizing them), making photo albums, going for walks, attending international cooking classes, other misc stuff and I need to take a break sometimes too!

Oi! What a run on sentence! But seriously that's how exactly things feel at the moment. Oh and by the way, the Canadian booth at the international festival was marginally profitable. We made about $100, I guess I can live with that. That cash is going to go towards throwing a little party for the people that worked with me for the event. Kudos to them for helping me out. Unfortunately we fell short of hitting our 400 dish mark... we only hit 180.

Had we made it to the 400 mark, I would have been looking at profits of approximately $500! We would maple syrup pancakes and smoked salmon cream cheese crackers (the cracker dish is a story unto it self actually, but that will be for another time... if I ever end up writing about it). When I do have some down time, I'll make a detailed post about the event. Well better than posting a loss though. So I have that atleast, I did tell you about the time I tried to sell X-boxes from Japan right? No? Haha... well that'll have to be a story for another time.

For the time being, assuming that "a picture is a thousand words," I have pictures that want to say about 70~80 "thousand words." I'll let them do the talking instead:

Autumn in Sendai
21st Tohoku International Festival

Random note:

I was interviewed while in Korea (several months ago) while attending a martial arts event and gave them greetings from Canada! Was it ever aired? I have no clue.
