~Three little things~

It's finally starting to get colder in Japan now. I'm guessing it's still not as chilly as it is in Belgium but I've worn my new winter coat a handful of times now, so that must mean something! Winter is on its surely way and the once so richly colored trees are shedding their leaves. It makes me sad to see the pretty scenery go but on the other hand I'm excited for Christmas! Can't wait to redecorate my room for Santa-celebration-day!

Now, I don’t know whether we have this in Belgium. I think we have similar things but I’ve never seen them the way they’re sold here and they are definitely a lot more common here (and by that I mean they’re everywhere). 

These are heat packs you can stick to your body during winter and they’ll keep you warm all day. My Japanese friend leant one to me to use one day and I've been loving them eversince! 

They have an adhesive side and they’re specifically designed to stick to your skin, underneath your clothes (usually your back, your belly, or for women with menstrual pain, your pelvic area). I can imagine they work great against muscle pain as well. They really stay hot all day and they’re not expensive at all. 

Now for something really random: I've been getting into rugby lately. 
Not playing rugby myself (I don't want to die), but our school's team is pretty good and I know a guy on the team. So I've been seeing their games and it's such a fun sport to watch! I'm sad to say the season will end in a few weeks, but hopefully by then I can say that the Kandai team managed to move up into the A-list again! 

The last thing I want to mention is that I've been going to the gym lately (yes I'm one of those people now). A good few people from the dorm go to the gym often and since I have naginata class in the same building on Tuesdays, I figured why not stay a little longer and do something that's good for me? 

The guys I'm going with are the real deal though! These are people that squat more than their own body weight and one of the guys is the dude on the rugby team so that should say enough! My whole body aches as I'm typing this! 

But no worries, they're going easy on me for now, they're nice teachers! ^^
