Random thoughts #24324

Ok, so I have another *3 poster in day, what does this mean? Quite simply that I am very bored, which is to be expected as I simply planned to do HW today, which is progressing slowly but surely. I woke up at 10Am this morning which is my first "late" wake-up here, and it did not feel like I overslept. As I mentioned in my previous entry I would like to find an open-air hot spring. This is rather difficult, there are very few English language sites that provide much information and I am sure that there are tons of these places that have no presence on the net. If an Onsen has website it usually entirely in Japanese. The websites that provide information on Onsens can also be very vague in that they will provide very few directions and sometimes just a Japanese address, which is almost useless to me since Google maps either provides directions in Japanese or just says that it can't find the location. This lead me to the decision that perhaps for my long weekend I should explore some of the rural towns around here, especially those that seem to have a lot of open-air and see if I can just find one. Partially I am seriously considering going back to the Onsen in Akita city tomorrow, the only thing holding me back is the fact that tomorrow is Sunday, which will very likely be the most crowded day of the week. Soo...I'll resist and wait until Monday when I only have one class in the morning and then tons off free time to go.
