Okay so this weekend has been my frist in Japan and it was awesome. Fristy I was introduced to the concept of `hodai`. A tabehodai is like a buffet (ie you can eat as much as you want in a certain amout of time) but want I did was a nomi(drink)hodai yeah,all you can drink for 2 hours. I was me 2 other canadians 2 Japanese friends and some americans and we went to Kobe (closest big city about the size of Vanand an hour by trian) and met int his place right outside the station which in Japanese is called mothers breast park (call just call it titty park) because theres the concrete mounds that look like breast that you sit on. So on friday we chilled out in this park which looks like times square and listend to bands playing from all over Japan (because its really famous for it) drinking some beers in public. then we went to NOMIHODAI. alot of fun but I was hung over the next day. Anyways sat I went back to kobe to meet owen an ex-uvic student and walked around kobe. (oh and the reason the Japanese are soo skinny they walk everywhere.) Anyways he showed this place called asobi (play) hodai. For 15$ you can play video games, comp games, blowing, basketball, paintball, massage chairs oxigen masks, showers, etc etc for as long as you want and it never closes. Then I bought an engirsh hat that said *fuck off teenage de story*. Its two stories in the highrise on the water front. Then we meet some people who were on the exchange 2 years ago that are here for jet and some japanese students from my univeristy. we ate and then did karoke which compared to canada is fucking awesome here i totaly know why they do it alot. Anyways today im going out to get a cellphone and go to Kyoto and check out the city and start buy letters to send back home.
I cant describe how surreal this place is, pics comming soon.
ps. i got a cellhone yesterday its better than most digital cameras and i can watch tv on it and it was free.
