Japan is still the best country ever (not going to change any time soon).
I went for  sushi and karaoke with some friends last week (Vocaloids are definitely a challenge to sing to), and this week has been more purikura with friends.
Almost every day I'm doing something after school (I either go to softball [or tea ceremony on fridays], or go to the mall with friends.) School is going really well and the uniform isn't too bad either!


I feel like a Japanese Lance Armstrong from riding my bike so much.
Next week will probably be more karaoke, purikura, and sushi.
All the kids hang out in the Baskin Robbins in the mall, but because this month they're giving away 3 scoops instead of 2 everyone is very, very excited (this made me laugh).
But it means that we've all made plans to go together and partake of this life changing event.
Last Friday was my school's Kyugitaikai (a sports thing where the whole school picks a sport they want to do and does it). I did softball with my class (they made me team captain!) and we came in second place! It was really fun.

Lots more excitement to come!

Japan is the most amazing country in the world.I've only been here 50 days but I never want to leave. I've made friends with almost everyone at school (the people that I'm not friends with yet I haven't met.) I hang out with friends every weekend; we go to the mall and take purikura pictures.
The language is amazing; Because I'm in Kansai they speak in a dialect, but I've already gotten really good at it, and everyone loves that I'm  trying. The food is delicious! I want to go to school everyday because it's so much fun.
I never want to leave!!

  So I was on the Party track for the weekend. There was going to be a party Friday night and Sunday night with Halloween right smack in the middle.

  Vacations here I come. Seriously, I could hear the sleep calling out to me. You know what I’m talking about, you know when you feel like you have been running on like an hour of sleep. Well that’s what I felt like but definitely worse.

  So I know that you all want to hear about the epic battle of a game that happened between all of the teenage girls that were hanging out with us on the Friday night. So it basically ended up being a one ended battle with…
