Our first day was as a group and we went to Odaiba…and it pretty muched sucked. It was giant malls filled with overdressed teens. Its sad when you feel underdressed in the mall. I really shoulda packed more jewlery and some dressy clothes. Mom…ship m my whole closet please. Not really. When we met up with the other group some of us went out with Emily’s (someone on the trip) foreign friend, Yuri, that she met on the plane and some of his friends, Niji and Yujin. They were really nice guys and we (Me, Rachel, Lindsey, Emily, and David) met them at Shibuya AROUND 7:30 (30 MINUTES LATE…our train got switched and we couldn’t decide what to wear). Shibuya has some huge crosswalk, which we walked of course, and we went to a tempura house and then to do karaoke. SO MUCH FUN! Yeah, I actually belted out some songs. We ended up leaving around 11:30. We sang for like an hour. Man I really need some dressy clothes. Anyways, all of us are gonna meet up again. But this weekend our group goes to Kyoto (excited). This was a pretty fun first night. I hope that the res t of the month lives up to it. Oh yeah…all the people here are really genuinely nice. Like, everyone really cares if your lost and cant find the golden dog statue.
Phrases I have used today (to strangers):
Doi Dashimaste (your welcome)
Arigato gozaimasu (thank you very much)
Toirre wa doku desu ka? (where is the bathroom-actually had this one memorized)
Hachiko wa doku desu ka? (Where is Hachiko? (its the golden dog statue)) <– our meeting point
The trains and subways are actually pretty easy 2 figure out and pretty cheap. Someone email or comment please. I miss you guys and just like writing a lot.
PICTURES WILL BE UP TONIGHT!
