Japan Trip: 7 Hours of Paintball and a Crazy Halloween Party - Day Three
Saturday morning, I woke up at about 5 AM. Seems pretty good considering the time differences! I messed around on the DS for a while until Dan's alarm went off. We got our crap together and I met one some of his fellow JETs as they showed up. He has a large van, so ends up driving people around quite a bit. Dan and I had some granola with yogurt, met up with some more people, and headed off towards Hikone on the toll road.
We met up with a huge group of people (all JETs) and grabbed some box lunch from the local 7-Eleven. We treked up to a forested area where ALPEX paintball was. For the rest of the day, about 10 until 5, we shot the hell out of each other. There were about 30 people there, including some Brazilians of Japanese ancestry, though more than 20 of us were JETs and English speakers of some sort. A couple highlights were where, from my position crawling around in the dirt, I shot three girls through the slots in the bunker they were camped out in. I managed to tag Dan a few times, and he got me. During one round where I had run out of ammo and was just running after flags, Dan totally shot me in the ass. Unfortunately for him, he got nailed, HARD, in the ass by someone else from very close in that same round. He has more bruising welts than I! It was a ton of fun.
We came back and chilled out for a while before getting Halloween costumes and overnight bags together. Dan found a small child's Santa costume and turned it into a crazy creepy Santa. I went as the giant beer that he had hanging around. We grabbed some alcohol (again, 7-11) for the pre-party as the actual party had very expensive drinks, and headed to his friend Steph's house. Had a freaking awesome time, with plenty of wacky antics and a strange penis sake drinking dish.
We headed to Lite in Fukui City in a convoy of people who were not drinking and I proceeded to be incredibly tired and drunk while still having a great time with people I'd gotten to shoot and be shot by all throughout the day. Even if it wasn't purposefully planned, it was extremely well planned.
We ended the night sometime after 1 AM with about 6 of us crammed into a small taxi and I crashed out on a futon on Steph's floor.
My quads are so extremely sore.
