Good evening. It's a cold January night and I'm taking it easy. Yesterday we went to have some Chinese food at the New Year Celebration. It was pretty good. But then the real fun of the evening came when Maryn, Jen, Zeeshan, and Ali, and I watched an Indian movie called "Darna Mana Hai" which roughly translates to "Fear Is Forbidden". It's a horror movie which is split up into six different stories. I've never really seen an Indian movie (except for one Bollywood love story in India) and it was neat to have some people explain some of the cultural differences which we probably would not have understood if we watched it on our own.

Today I went to my first Bushido class and it was quite the experience. We did many exercises such as how to bow, how to sheath the sword, and we learnt some basic movements that resemble a karate kata, but with a sword. It's a very interesting art and I think it'll be a great way to get my exercise. It'll usually be taking place on Saturdays in the afternoon.

I don't have any big plans set up for tonight but I'm sure I'll think of something fun to do. Have a good night.
