Hey dudsons,

So yesterday I went to a restaurant called Grand Palace in Coquitlam with my grandparents, since they live near there.  We had lots of yummy food, like lobster, beef, soup and other stuff.

Before that I went to Chinese school and it was the last day of term.  I got two certificates, including one for the special ones you get if you're one of the top students, hehe.

For today, I basically went to swimming lessons and that was pretty much it....

Since I'm going to be doing a presentation on the Shinto religion, here are some quick facts:

1. The sun goddess Amaterasu is the most important 'kami;..... and was born out of her father's left eye. O_O

2. You will often find origami around a Shinto shrine. 

3. Shinto has no founder or single sacred sculpture, unlike other religions.

4. The closest shrine  from Vancouver is located in Granite Falls, Washington, USA.

5. There are 8 million kami.  Kami is the Japanese word for God, deity, divinity, or spirit.
