病気なの？
Well I'm not sick anymore, but being sick for the first time in Japan was quite the experience. It was dare I say fun? People take disease much more serious here than in America. I just had a cold but my host parents were insistent on taking my temperature every chance they got. For some reason I suck at getting my temperature taken, the thermometers look the same, and you put them under your armpits to take your temperature but somehow I failed at it three times in a row before my host parents finally gave up. Still, they kept telling me to tell them if I get worse and they told me a few times that if I have a fever they'd take me straight to the hospital. I almost wish I did have a fever since I sorta wanted to see what a Japanese hospital is like. Darn my health! But it was nice, I got left alone in my room, Pocari Sweat was delivered to my door, and not only did Rena leave me alone, she wrote me a cute get-well soon card! Seriously, I just had a cold!
I also had to wear a mask to school for a few days. Masks are fun. Very fun. If I get sick again here I won't mind because I'll get to wear a mask again! =D Yes I enjoy them too much. But they are cool and people say I look like a serial killer when I wear them, especially since I had my hat on and a deep, gravelly voice due to the cold. It was fun coming up to people and scaring them. Plus they are warm. And everyone you talk to asks if you are okay sympathetically. It's nice, no one gives a crap if you have a cold in America.
But besides fun illnesses I've been having fun doing other things. We had another random day off this week, this time it was a Wednesday. My friend Kat and I were supposed to join a group in going to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) but a few of the members got sick so they cancelled it. :( We of course didn't know this until we were already halfway there. So since we were already out and it was raining, we decided to do another 8 hour karaoke session =D I love karaoke. I will miss it when I leave, I don't think we have cheap karaoke boxes in Chicago =(
Tomorrow I am going to the Pokemon Center in Umeda! I am very excited!! It should be fun, I can't wait to take pictures and buy a bunch of Pokemon stuff!
P.S. I was planning on watching Supernatural before bed, but stupid Megavideo stopped the episode right near the end!!! Like right as a ghost had a knife to Dean's throat. WTF?!
