No Laughing Allowed: 8/01

Man I really have to find a place that has fricking internet. I think I've gone 3 days so far without it and I feel so ancient. Espcially being in Tokyo, a place where you would stereotypically think that people fart wireless internet. But Japanese don't fart, hence, no free wireless internet. So I've now resorted to typing entries and saving them on wordpad, I guess like a diary but not really because I'm not lame, a man and humble. I think of it as a log, like captians log. Ya know? I still need to wash my clothes.

Today was pretty fun. Almost everyday, the school has activites for us. You can choose whether to go or not and I chose not to for the first two, Noh play and Taiko drums. I almost wasn't going to go today because I was still tired from not sleeping a couple nights back and I have to catch up on some readings but my new friends in my classes convinced me to. We went on a tour of Tokyo. It was kind of dumb but fun because of the people. They had charter busses pick us up from school and we first went to the imperial palace. We were seriously only there for 20 minutes. I felt bad for the tour guide lady because no one followed or listened to her. Hahahaha good for her. After that we went to some garden. Nuff said. The next and final stop was Odaiba where they left us to galavant freely. Got to see the gundam which was nuts. It was fricking life size man. THEN WE WENT TO THE SHONEN JUMP STORE AND THEN TO THE NARUTO MUSEUM!!! Sweet. The museum was free and I didn't buy anything at the jump store so good for me. The only thing I bought today besides food was gifts for people, good for me again. The cool thing about the trip today was talking to new people. It's just that before I felt so obligated to hang out with the other USF kids, but I can't do it at all. I met more than a handful of cool people today, from class and the trip. After Odaiba we took the train to Shimbashi and ate at an Izakaya for dinner. At Izakayas, you order a lot of small dishes. Kind of like Tapas on the mainland or pupus on Hawaii. We made the Japanese order for us. It was kind of expensive but was super super super fun. And now I'm here at the Ryokan and there's no school tomorrow. I'm going to sleep in, do all the readings, do my laundry, and maybe call Nozomi to hang out or go to Akihabara.
