Fireworks, festivals, yukata - it's finally summer in Japan

[avgrunn]

It's festival season here in Japan! Everywhere I turn there are more festivals and fireworks and people walking around in yukata. I bought a yukata last Saturday (and an obi and a little traditional pouch, although I haven't gotten any geta yet - need to pick those up soon), and I'm planning on going to a festival on Saturday with a friend.

I'm so envious! I've always wanted a yukata! D:!!

Take lots of pictures! I'm glad you're having a good time ^^

Want me to get you one? Uniqlo has them for 3000 (about 30 bucks), and it includes the yukata itself plus the obi and the ties for underneath. Just tell me what color you want, and it can be a birthday/christmas present or something. I'm planning on coming home probably over new years so I can give it to you then.
I'll be posting a new blog soon with pictures from the bon-odori festival we went to on Saturday, as well as from when I was just trying on yukatas, so check that out for pictures ^.~

That would be so awesome ;_; I would worship you forever! Make sure to post pictures darnit! I check your blog all the time but it's never updated haha. I'm sure you're busy and tired with the two jobs. Which, by the way, I'm totally curious about. What exactly do you do at your hostess job? Serve drinks? Or is it more entertainment-esque? Bah, Crissy and I are settling into our new place and haven't managed to get internet access yet, so no skype until then.

Also, soon I plan to start subjecting Crissy to J-dramas. Bwhaha!

(Ps: You know what colors I like, blues, greens, maybe even pinks. I forget if they come in every color. <3)

I'll try to grab you one ^^ The colors at Uniqlo are pretty limited (which was mainly why I got mine at a specialty yukata shop... paid more, but there was a much better selection), but I think I saw a pale blue when I was there last. I posted a new blog so you can see mine!

Spread that jdrama love! \o/ I'm watching Maou this season, it's SO GOOD. I'm so behind though, I never have time to watch stuff anymore since I'm never home due to my two jobs and going out places on weekends.

Basically what I do at the new job is just serve drinks and talk to customers, sometimes sing karaoke with them. It's not a real hostessing job, it's more like a bar lounge. It's not bad, although I do miss having any free time whatsoever ^^;;
