Start of Second Week

Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted anything, but I've been a bit busy lately.
A few days ago it rained for the first time since I've been here. Luckily the language school has umbrellas the students can borrow.
A week long Sumo tournament in Fukuoka just started yesterday.
I wanted to get some tickets but the only ones I found were equivalent to about $280.
While out walking with my host mother, we saw a group of the Sumo wrestlers dressed in their robes and carrying very manly purses.
I tried to get a few pictures, but it was difficult seeing as I was trying to be sneaky about it.
I'll post the only semi-decent pic below along with a more blurry stealth-shot.
I start my second week of language school today.
So far It's been quite interesting.
The six person class I was in will now most likely be a three person class since a few people have left or dropped back.
Right now my list of things to do, besides learning Japanese, is seeing the city a bit more, and getting a cell phone.
The language school has said it can be hard to get a phone since there has been a rise in crime using prepaid cellphones. And the fact that I'm a foreigner who isn't 20 years old doesn't help me much.
I think I've said this before but, I hope to take more pictures and post them as regularly as I can. I especially plan to post all the funny engrish I've seen, as there has been quite a bunch. (below is one example)
If I don't have time to write a full blog post I may just post a pic instead.

じゃあまった!
