the computer work gave me died Sunday. I didn't get a replacement till today. In my new free time not surfing the web I managed to study a little bit of Japanese. It's starting to make a lot more sense. Now I just have to practice vocab.
Weekend update:
Friday I went out with some people from work. I mentioned one time that I thought a girl at work looked cute. The guys thought it would then be a good idea to set us up. THIS was the reason they wanted me to go out with them. She doesn't speak ANY English. I think this would also be a good time to mention that she's 31 years old!I am 21 years old. They also know she's very conservative and I'm here for 6 more weeks. WHY? Also, the 6th grade badgering to get us to talk uncomfortably as everyone else pretended to not watch didn't help either.
Saturday A different group of guys invited me on a road trip. Needless to say they didn't explain that literally all of Saturday we would be driving. My driver decided to take the scenic route, which was BEAUTIFUL. We missed a lot of turns, but we were going through the mountains, so I didn't care one bit. I can't explain; just have to do it I guess. I also learned that once you leave the Japanese highways, you are f'ed. There are NO road signs and there is no such thing as a straight road. Anyways, the trip went from Osaka, the east side of Japan, across the mountains all the way to the Sea of Japan. I ate some fresh, raw shrimp and crab for the first time in my life. It tastes a lot different than I thought; raw is good is small quantities. Then we finally met up with the rest of the group. Two of the guys had RX-7s. One of them was from the early '90s and the other is from around '02. I got to ride in the newer one. Damn that was smooth. We stopped briefly and relaxed in a hot spring. Then we traveled back to Osaka by a different route so that we could go by the largest freshwater lake in Japan that I always forget the name of. It was dark, so I didn't really get to see it. I guess this means I have another place I need to re-visit. As I didn't get much sleep from the night before due to some Karaoke'ing, I was exhausted. I slept for the next 12 hours or so.
Then my computer died. Can't get everything.
