| | haha, wow... Time just flies by! I can't believe that it's already the weekend... But it's been really fun so far!
For school... I'm special... Lolz, I was way behind compared to everyone else since I only knew how to read/write hiragana and katakana, but didn't know how to actually read anything... So for the first 4 days, I was being tutored one-on-one... So stressful! Cuz on Tues and Wed, I even went in early...
School is usually 1-5pm, but they had me go in at like 11am or 10:30am (supposed to be 10, but I was late... XD). So the day was like extraaa long.
The guesthouse isn't like what we imagined, but it's pretty good I suppose. Like we share a small room that has bunkbeds. I'm on the top... :) Been so long since I slept in a bunkbed. We thought it was more apartment style, but it's actually more like college dorm... We share bathrooms and showers and kitchens.
Everyone here is really really nice though! (Except one, but we won't get to that...)
It's really cool how we meet people from all over the world! Like in our guesthouse, there's people from India, Saudi Arabia, England, Australia, Germany, Sweden, States... And at the school, China, Phillipines, Pakistan... The two we're "closest" to are from our dorm and go to the same school as us. They're super duper nice!!
haha, like I finally joined their class yesterday, and I'm still kind of behind cuz I don't understand as much in terms of vocab. They both sit close to me, since I took Ang's spot. (She moved to the bit more advanced class. It'd be weird if we were in the same class...) So since I don't understand all the stuff, the guy in front of me will whisper to me what it means and stuff.
Also, they've been showing us around. Like the first day, they took us to school cuz we had no idea where it was. One of them showed us where the nearest supermarket is. They took us to places to eat that they like. Food is yummy!! They took us to Shinsaibashi (a shopping district). They were going to go back there last night to go drinking with some of the other guys here, but we decided not to go. Both of us were feeling extra ugly/greasy/stinky XD
Instead, Ang did my nails and we watched Twilight... Ahaha~ It's so bad >_< I think the story actually had really good potential, but their acting was sooo bad. And considering what I heard about the characters of the story... The people they cast totally didn't match at all. But whatever; that's a totally different story :p
Since Ang took a shower last night, she's sleeping in. But the plan is that we're going to go for ramen for lunch. Then meet up with this other girl from our school to go to Shinsaibashi. We went pretty late last time; not to mention that the guys were with us... They were really nice about it, but still. You feel bad making people wait for you when you know they're not interested.
Oh! But there's a funny story to that... We got separated from the guys when we went to Shinsaibashi um... Thursday night. Anyways, we went into those arcade-ish places that have those bubble vending machines... So we all went in to look around. Me and Ang were looking for something to buy. She got this poo light for her friend (inside story to it) and I got one from Katekyo Hitman Reborn for my sister. But when we came back out, it was like "Huh?!! Where did they go?!!"
Lolz, we tried to find them and thought maybe they walked further in... So we left for a bit, but was like "They wouldn't just leave us..." Went back to the place, but still didn't see them... Eventually we kind of gave up and walked further by ourselves. But it still felt kind of weird. Not to mention, those "host"(-lurer) guys... XD We didn't want them to talk to us... The first guy who did was pretty nice cuz Ang told him (in Japanese) that we're foreigners and he backed off, apologizing. The second guy was pretty pushy... Saying he was Taiwanese and whatever, until his friend told him to just stop... XD
Anyways, we thought it'd be good to wait for them by that Glico running man picture. It's like this big plaza-ish (?) place... So we were like "Oh my gosh! What do we do now?!" type of thing... We noticed this guy behind us, and Ang was like "Oh, he's pretty 'ying'." (cool) Then afterwards, he was asking us something... hehe, so we got to talking to him. He was originally from Cleveland and he was like "I'm so happy to meet people I can talk to!" cuz he doesn't know Japanese. We might meet up with him again later on since Ang gave her e-mail addy to him.
But yah, every day is like a new adventure!
