Halloween, nails and stuff
So my current nails! Don't know if I can get away with them at work. Don't know whether or not to change them tonight...
Anyway Friday night was the Halloween party for my areas ALTs. I dressed up as Dorothy!
If we're Facebook friends then you can see pics of me.
Halloween was pretty fun. My new Canadian friend D dressed up as Snow White. We went to a foreigners bar called Iznt but the drinks there are pretty expensive so we went out to the lawsons to get a cheap drink and then stood outside lawsons drinking. It was hilarious! People kept staring at us so we started calling out "konbanwa" and waving at them. This would produce either laughing at waving back to us or quickly looking away like they weren't staring. HILARIOUS! Especially when drunk!!! More than a few Japanese people have a photo with drunk Snow White and Dorothy. What was even stupider was the amount of Japanese people that called me 'Alice'? ...違いますozのDorothyです。 (no I'm Dorothy from Wizard of Oz...) and Snow White kept being called Cinderella!!! I was like "SHE HAS AN APPLE!"
Other stuff that's been happening. My school had their bunkasai (cultural festival) which meant sitting thru two of the classes from each year singing then all the third years singing and then a slideshow play thing and then an actual play (which was pretty cute).
In the afternoon the other ALT K and I had to sit in the ESS club room that everyone had decorated together.
This was what the kids saw when they arrived into the room:
And this was the ALT corner:
The other ALT K and I sat here and played a game with the kids. We were 'supposed' to do English conversation with them but like that was ever going to work!!!
Everyone just got booted off the train! No idea why and up comes another one now... Very strange...
And yay I go to a Special school now on Wednesdays! It's for special needs kids. It's super fun and the kids are sweeties. This is outside the main doors:
The high school opposite them made it for them. THAT IS SO SWEET!!!
I also brought a big Nyanko-sensei and won some in the claw machines. He's so cute!!! There's a coin purse that I really want but the machine I saw it in was a hard one... :(
And this is my friend Y's cat. Isn't it gorgeous??? This is another reason why I want to move in next door to her again!!!
Ok nearly in Osaka! Will post this. I have more photos and stuff to post so will try to do it on my next train ride! XD
