So it is about 1:22 am in the morning and I am suffering from sever jet lag. I went to sleep yesterday around 4:00pm and woke up not to long ago, I think that I have a little bit of a cold starting. My nose is completely congested, and I still feel like sleeping 7 more hours. When on IM and talked with ppl for a bit. I asked my friend Sean back at home to call Suncoast for me, and no one picked up the phone. It is rather frustration because of the time difference, and since i have a phone curfew here. So i finally got to talk to my boy when he came online, and I did not sleep that night. I played breathe of fire 2 on gameboy advance for the rest of the night. So i went down for breakfast at 8:00 am, and putzed around for a bit. Finally I was able to take a decent shower, and pamper my self for a bit. After getting dressed, a few of the girls were watching itsutsumo, i believe it is called. Basically it a bunch of Japanese celebrities that perform different games even though I was informed that they don't actually win anything. On of the scenes a guy was acting like a gorilla and reach down to touch his butt hole and acted like he was sniffing it. Then another one of the games they were doing was "rock, paper,scirrors" and the loser of the game had to put a hard hat on before the winner bopped them in the head with a plastic mallet. If you got hit in the head twice you lost. It was about 12 and a few of the girls were feeling restless so we went out for a walk and ate at Miso hamburger. I bought a rice hamburger which was rice as the buns and I am unsure of what was the stuff in the inside, but it was soo tasty, and unlike many other place rather inexpensive. After eating I found a book store which naturally had a ton of manga, yeah!! I bought was sooo happy when i found peach girl and how the were up to volume 14 in Japan, and I bought Nana which is by the same artist as paradise kiss. When I left the store, I decided to buy something to drink from the vending machine. It was a white peach drink and it was sooo good. Walking back towards the dorm, a bunch of ppl were carrying this big ordament and chatting. Everyone was wearing a blue jacket with black kanji on the back, plus these white shoes that had one gap between toes. Everyone seemed so happy. I believe that all of the shrines in the area were celebrating respect the age day. Walking back Anne and I decided to try and find our campus. After walking a good 15 minutes, and walking past the campus. We found it. It is smaller than I imagined it to be. So we headed back and I got to go into few arcades. Their was this one game where you beat on a drums, and i forget the name of it but it was like house of the dead but the controls were odd. I saw Guilty Gears XX and Virtual Fighter Evolution. I played Guilty Gears XX only to have my butt kicked by the computer or another person, I am not quiet sure. Games cost 100 yen. I saw a bunch of pachinko machines, a lupin typing game, and the UFO catcher machines. The UFO machines did not have anything interesting them. Their was a bunch of hello kitty stuff and whinny the pooh. Walking back I finally got to go into a hyaku en store, like a dollar store. They actually had some cool stuff, yet i did not feel the need to buy anything. Then i went into a japanese supermarket and drolled at the eel for a bit and how cheap it was. I ended up bying mango juice and kaaru, which a kinda like cheese curls. I went back to the dorm, and feel asleep at 5pm. I was woken up by the intercom to come down to fill out the paper for alien registration. Afterwards I talked with all of the girls for a but, and they were talking about how 10pm curfew is way too early. Minori did not want to talk about the bad points of the dorm and the one girl was very American the way she acted. Very much like "i don't give a fuck." When I was describing how my dorm life was like she was so jealous. I went to bed, played some more breathe of fire 2 and went to sleep.
