Apply

Back to the las blog when I said that I had to apply myself... I totally did! I walked up to a group of guys on campus and asked if they could take my friend Heather and I on a tour. They had tennis but we met the one guy that I talked for a little bit and he said that he could show me around tomorrow so we exchanged phone numbers talked a little bit through text message that night and decided to meet at 12 at Hirakata City (which is only like a 15 minute bus ride maybe). I had a stupid orientation thing the next morning at 10 but all of the computers were taken (it was for language lab) so my friend Justin and I had to come back at 11! I was so upset! So I had to tell him to meet me at one instead. Everything worked out just fine! We took the train to somewhere and then got off to take a different train to another place. When we got there we had takoyaki, or breaded octopus ball shaped things. I popped one in my mouth after just getting them like an idiot and was still surprised to find out how hot they were... I totally burned my mouth. But they were still delicious. After that he showed me around whatever city we were in. We even did a skywalk thing. We went to a building that was 40 stories high and looked out at Japan or kind of more down on it. I could see Osaka Castle, Osaka Dome, mountains, and the sea. It was really cool. He then showed me around some shops. before we started to head back we did Puri-kura, which is the photo booth thing. He had to be on campus around 4 because he had a tennis party thing. It was really fun having out with him even with the confusion. My Japanese is limited and his English is even more limited. But his phone had a dictionary on it (jealous!) so we managed conversation. We both like the color green, we both don't smoke, are blood types are both O, and not only does he like coffee he gets the same thing at Starbucks as me! Crazy right? I hope to hang out with Keisuke again he was really sweet and cute!
Afterwards I was supposed to meet up with Justin to go have some drinks. I waited at Hirakata City for a bit found some tirimasu mochi (amazing!) and went to starbucks to have a drink. Justin who tried to take the train back got completely lost! So I had to call Kae and tell her to text Justin and help him out. Mean while I just walked around one store lookinf at the cute little things went to another store and found a bathroom. The toilet was a porcelien hole in the ground... NOT COOL! And on top of the ditch potty myphone died! And Justin still wasn't there! But it was fine because I went to a Softbank which is the phone company that I have and said my phone died! The lady got me a charger and sat me in the corner and for the next 20 minutes or so I sat and charged my phone waiting for Justin. When he finally got there we were hungry and made our way to a Japanese fine burger and coffee place. How amazing does that sound? What more do you need than coffee and burgers? I got a chicken burger but no coffee (next time). That was the most delicious thing ever! It was so amazing! Anyone that comes to visit me I already know 2 restaurants that I'm going to take them to. MOS Burger and This cute little okonomiyaki place that is right next to my dorm. We walked around and didn't really find a drinking place so we went to the liquour store and I bought some canned grape cocktail that was good and then we watched the street performers and talked about things that we could get away with because we are foreigners and people are scared to talk to us. Justin calls that Gaijin (foreigner) Smash. I wouldn't doubt that we could get a way with a few things. but not too willing to try. But I did walk up to the street performers and asked if I could play their tamborine. They blushed and said yes so for one song I jammed a bit with them with my awesome tamborine skills! They were just a bunch of kids but they sang and played guitar and this semi drum thing really well.
Yesterday was totally awesome! And I can't wait for more fun times like it! I don't have my computer right now because I missed the pick up time yesterday but I have to computer lab downstairs. I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow which is when afternoon classes start. I have 2... But my Tuesdays and Fridays are pretty open. On Tuesday I only have my writing/reading class and my language class and on Friday I only have my language class. And Friday I'm going to Kyoto with Kae and Youhei! Yay!!!!!!!
