Japan update E11even
Hey all
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I`Ve got less than a week left, in one week Ill be getting to my first class.
It`s a really strange feeling Im going to leave my home and friend of 2.5 months in 5 days.
It`s Really wierd.
This one is REALLY LONG, so bear with me, or if not, just look at the pictures.
So last...mmmm where should I start.
First of all, Katsurai-SAn and I had some free time on Tuesday:

Also be sure to check out the pictures I took of some of my co-workers(Katsurai san directed the photo shoot, thats why people are in cool poses).

Thursday, Toyoko san and MAriko and her Boyfriend (I guess he`s a fiance, theyre getting married but I dont see a ring on his finger) took me to USJ (Universal Studios JApan) It was mad crowded. IT was pretty though. With a minimum of maskots which is definately a plus. I rode Backdraft, which wasnt as much a ride as you just watch as stuff explodes, it was hot. I saw Jaws which was alright, the tour guide/captain was really fun and enthusiastic (not too enthusiastic, I`D just never seen a Japanese theme park ride operator slash actress(kinda) before and it was fun). Jurassic PArk was fun, my picture came out awesome but we didnt want to waste money on it. OOH! I got a Spider-man head shaped bucket of CAramel Popcorn, YAO!

We also Rode Spiderman:

Which was awesome, I expect one of those 3d rides that rocks side to side a bit, but the thing moved around alot and FAST! It was definately the best.
TO finish me off, we went to ET. I didnt particularly want to go but it was about the only ride left still open at the end. OH MY SQUEE!!! It was, as I described it immediately afterwards "Omoikiri Kakkouyoku nakkata" which translates to "Not cool with all its heart". IT WAS SOOOO LAME, I never even liked the movie, but MAN, SOmebody must have had some dirt on Steven Speilberg to make him agree to that one. It was just bad. It should be turned into a sewer under a heavily used sports stadium with nasty chili-dogs.
Over all, the night was definately fun, I had the best steak donburi ever:

MAriko was cute, she kept complaining about Masahiro-kun being fat{hes a little chubby}and saying he needs to excercize, but its not fair because she doesnt excersize or eat right at all, shes just skinny naturally. Then on the train back from USJ, there were these three girls just staring at me the whole time, which was kind of annoying because I can`t just stare back but they were right in front of me. I gave them a few sharp glares to let them know I could see them. Then when we got off to change trains, they approached me and asked me if I would be in a picture with them because they thought I was kakouii (good looking). So I got a huge ego boost:

It turns out theyre going to school here from Korea, one of the guys spoke english and Japanese very well. All the girls spoke perfect Japanese. I talked with the guys for a while (one of the girls kept yelling that I was kakouii at random).
So it was an awesome night.
I went to grandmas with Naoki ant Toyoko on saturday. IT was nice, we had awesome Tempura for dinner. I attempted to MAke TAi Yaki that night, by the last two I was doing alright but it kind of tasted like fried egg on the account of the recipe requiring 4 eggs, I think next time Ill use less.

I came home on sunday after a walk(check out all the new Wakayam pictures in the scenery section) and then I met up with Nishimura San at 4 and we hung out. It was really nice, we went to America-mura, we went to some stores downtown, we went on a ferris wheel. We attempted to go bowling but the wait was too long so we did Purikura instead (Print club is a photobooth that prints tiny little stickers with an assortment of frame and doodle options, it has been hugely popular with Japanese School students of all ages for years).:

We had Modan YAki for dinner (its genious, the take yakisoba, and put it in the middle of an okonomiyaki, its the best of all worlds, like spaghetti-pizza{Jaime and I actually made spaghetti pizza and it was GREAT}).
So It`s starting to get kind of sad, I`ll really miss Osaka and all my friends. BUt I`ll get to see you guys in a week, so yay.
