Last night
So last night was pretty fun. I went out to celebrate the fourth by myself and without fireworks but I still had a blast.
First, I found a Mexican restaurant and ate dinner there. I know its very unpatriotic of me to eat Mexican food on the 4th but all Mexican food restaurants are really Tex-Mex, or at least thats how I justify it to myself. The food was Ok but the place had an authentic live band playing music. They were really good, especially the lead guitarist, especially if he was improving the music.
After a few hours listening to that I wandered into a bar that was showing Mission Impossible II on a screen. It was going alright at first and I was about to leave, then these two Japanese girls came over and started hitting on me hard. By hard I mean like... possibly the most Ive ever encountered. It was fun trying to communicate in Japanese to these girls.
They first said that I was 'insert Japanese word here'. Im like what? They say you are beautiful. I started laughing soooooo hard. I told them, in Japanese I might add, that men are not beautiful they are hansome. They asked what girls were. I told them that we use the words cute, pretty, beautiful. That asked what else and I said 'hot.' They asked what it meant and I gave them a Japanese translation of 'atsui' which is hot weather.
They then started asking me if I had a fiance, then a girlfriend and I told them no. They told me that they didnt either. We talked about what we do (they are 24 and have desk jobs and were impressed that I was studying nanotechnology) and chatted in my broken Japanese for about an hour.
Then they asked me where my apartment was. Sweet right? Yea, kinda. They want to go sometime and I asked if they meant now? They said no next time. Well anyway, I got a phone number and I think I have a date(double?) soon with one or both of these girls.
However, towards the end I got kind of freaked out because one started to say 'i love you' in english and talked about coming to see me in America. I understood this but kept telling her I didnt in order to avoid the topic. Anyway, I left with a phone number and a potential date. But I dont know if I want to do it for the above reason and that she called me four times during the night, which I didnt answer.
It was great.
