I must have missed this thread when I was MIA over a weekend.
Anyway, congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.

What was it like in the dojo class.? What techniques did you do in class. Where did you eat? Did you meet friends. What was your Sensei like?
Sorry to be so inquisitive.

i visted back to my hometown Miyzaki. well, the dojo didnt change much, i was very hot(no air conditioning). we do most of the class outside conditioing, and running, and such, and practicse thorws and grappling, inside and outside. out dojo is a good size. pretty empty though. theres a flag, a mirror, a place for shoes,a mat,a couple of punching bags and thats about it. outside theres pull up bars, and jumping platforms, and such. there are three classes a day judo. the first is early and is two hours, the second is afternoon three hours, the last at night, for three hours. after each class there is open mat.we practice judo techniques, you know shimewaza, newaza, nage waza etc. my first day back we went out to restuarant, at the takuyaki palace. we went to may places, ate at home and such. i didnt really meet friends i got together with old friends, and went to seagaia dome, which is the biggest inside water park in the world(i think, im pretty sure). my sensei was same old sensei,it was great to see him again, he wasnt my birth guardian buti still consider him my father.
if i missed anything, or you would like to ask more questio please do.
