So yea I was thinking about um going to Japan for the
           summer
      holidays um yeah these summer holidays
Yeah and um   where you gonna go
Ah I I don’t know kind of I wanna go back home hahaha to the
       to my hometown over there coz hum
what’s name of it
umm Maebachi
oh okayDiana D managed to express it by gestures
it’s kind of 3 hours north of Tokyo like on the other side
         like Tokyo’s here and it’s almost like directly across the
         other side of Japan
Yeah
And um yeah  I haven’t seen people there so long and I feel
     like I haven’t um like talked to them for ages I’m kind of
     let our friendship like kind of like neglected like I never
     write to them e-mail so I really wanna see all of them again
Yeah
Humm
and how long will you go for
Ahhh probably about a month like coz uni finishes around
     end of November so December   and umm   yea and so
     December and January probably yeah
Yeah
Part of January
Do you wanna do any sightseeing while you’re there
Ah yea definitely I was thinking maybe like Kyoto and stuff
     like that but um lot of people said that Kyoto isn’t that
       like people say that it’s cool but actually not when
     we get there
Um
It’s just like you see a few temples and that’s it
Depends like um -
Have you been there
I I went to Kyoto and umm if you do go I recommend Fushimi
     Inari
          Fushimi Inari is the name of tample
Ahh  okay
It’s umm you know you might seen it in um both  and  travel  40
      stuff   you  know  um  the  temple  with  like  two  thousands  41
   Toori gates  all in go up the mountain
Yea yeah
That’s that’s that temple
Ahhhh okay
and it’s really
Waoww
yeah
Yeah coz a lot of people say like one of the weirdest things
     about it is that kind of you’ve got a really old style home
     right next to a Mc Donald’s or a seven eleven or something
     it’s just kind of two eras just merged together in one city
Oh yeah I mean-
But I suppose you get that all over Japan
Yea I mean like if you go to Kyoto expecting to see Kyoto
           two hundred years ago then you
Haha yea like Samurai walking around
but you know like and and   you have to look for the places
     you wanna  yea go
Yea
You have to look for them
Yea
But um
            
Yep
Hum but mainly I think the main reason I really wanna go
     is  hum because ahh just to see people that I haven’t seen
     in a while rather than being a tourist I wasn’t it to be
     and like kind of like going back home rather than being
     tourist over there　 yeah
yea yeah I just wondered if you you were gonna do a
           little bit maybe

     to be really kind of unique you know stuff that you can’t
     get over here you know
