It has been all in all quite a good week
Last Friday Aimee and I went to a club called London Times. The venue was tiny, but the best thing about the night was that they only played British rock and indie music, it was so much fun, like being 16 again! The dj's were really into the music and so were the other Japanese people there, one of the dj's was like a Japanese Austin Powers- he had the suit and everything, he was so cute! I cant wait for the next one, and I've finally figured out who the hell the Arctic Monkeys are after hearing loads about them on the radio.
Got my scholarship money on tuesday- woo hoo. I have seen loads of things I want to buy but I dont really want to spend the money, because once I do....I think it will all start with the brand spanking new Nintendo DS Lite, its so pretty and I want to play games in Japanese, its fun! Also went to get dvds with Aimee, we were planning an offensive tv night but they didnt have Team America- grr! We were cycling home and there were 2 girls playing in the street- how lovely I thought, children still play outdoors! Oh no, as soon as they saw us they yelled "look foreigners, look at their hair its different colours!" I felt like going back and talking to them and explaining in my best Japanese that although my hair is a different colour I am still a person just like them, but I didnt want to scare them, what with my 2 foreigner heads and 6 arms!! I'm really getting fed up of being stared at and not being sat next to on really crowded trains even when there is space on either side of me because I'm foreign!
Had another nice day today, went to Shinjuku to get the bag for Leanne, felt really good when they wrapped it up in pretty tissue paper and ribbons AND they said my Japanese was really good, I love it when that happens, though usually you can bet that the next question they ask you you wont understand and look totally stupid! Had a lovely lunch in the department store and read Now magazine, it only cost £5, Japan, full of bargains! Came home and had wieners (is that how you spell it?) and apples for dinner, and watched a TV Champion, it was about training mini pet pigs to do tricks in 2 weeks, it was fairly amusing, now off to listen to Jeremy Vine, I love him so much!!
Sorry for a bit of a boring update.
