So yeah, I had a really good, but busy weekend. On Friday night, I got done with class at 6:30, then went with some friends to try and do karaoke. Unfortunately, one of our friends said that she knew a cheap karaoke place, but then she couldn't find it and we got completely lost looking for it. Then on Saturday, I went to Kora-kuen, with Sarah and a friend of hers who is teaching english here now. Kora-kuen is an amusement park next to the Tokyo Dome, and then there's also a big, beautiful traditional Japanese garden. So we wandered around the garden and then I went on one ride. This crazy awesome rollercoaster that went through a building. Then Saturday night, I met some friends and went to a bar for what we thought was going to be some sort of open mic night, but really was just a bunch of old foreigners sitting around singing songs. The place was nice, but the drinks were expensive. Then on Sunday I went to Asakusa with the Amity Club and that was really fun. I met Sayaka and Maiko there and spoke the most Japanese I've spoken since I've been here. It was a good time, and I think we mostly understood each other. Plus Sayaka likes a lot of the same music that I do, so we talked about bands for awhile, and might go to some shows together. Although, concerts here are quite a bit more expensive then I'm used to. I've been spoiled by my $10-15 Chicago shows. Then they taught me some japanese slang and asked me about American slang. It took me awhile to think of some. You don't really think of the way you talk as slang until somebody asks. So if you guys can think of any good american slang, let me know. Anyway, THE WHITE SOX ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! How crazy is that? I mean, I was hoping it would happen, but you never know. I'm super excited. I audibly gasped when I read it on the computer screen here a few minutes ago. Hopefully the games will be playing here. Iguchi is Japanese so I feel that they will be. So yeah, go White Sox! Also, here's a random story from the Nishi-Magome festival that I forgot to tell. A Japanese lady who had lived in NY for awhile, invited us into one of the rooms for tea. She asked us where we were from and one of the guys was from Germany. The first thing she says is "Oh yes, Hitler. I saw your Hitler movie recently it was very good". I thought that was pretty hilarious. That's like me meeting a japanese person for the first time, and being like "ah yes, Japan, the Rape of Nanking". Anyway, I have tons to do. So, peace out!
