Shi-BOO-YAH!

Another week gone by...well, almost.  This week work was MUUUCCCHHH easier.  I think I've got it down.  There are some kinks I need to work out and lots to learn, but I'm feeling really good about my job.  Not much happened besides work on Monday and Tuesday...Wednesday I went to dinner with Justine, Natasha, Nikki and Trever at Tsubahachi.  It was some delicious sushi, except for one piece of squid I got, it was YUCKY!  I also picked up my box from my family that day, Trevor was nice enough to carry it to the restauratn, and Natasha rode it in her basket on the way home.  It was pretty big so I was lucky to have the help.  In the box was my beloved bedding, a jacket, a bunch of tights, and that's about it.  It was almost $100 to ship it here!  That will be REAL nice when I have to send it home!

Thursday after work I hung out with my new friend/co-worker Jennifer.  She's coooool.  I helped her highlight her hair and we had a couple drinks. Then we headed to the train station with Jude, another co-worker, to meet to other co-workers, Eun Jong and Kesson.  We headed into Shibuya Tokyo to hit up some bars/clubs.  The first place we stopped was dead...so we decided to look for another place.  Some dude on the sidewalk gave us discount tickets to get into a club called Camelot.  IIt said on the tickets the discount was only good for "foreigners and females."  Pretty funny.  It was 1000 yen to get in, like $10...and you got two free drink coins, so it was pretty much free to get in.  The club was pretty cool, not somewhere I would normally go, but I had fun.  There was this drunk Japanese girls who was dancing all over me and telling me I was cute and she kept giving me her drink, whick was an oversized shot really.  She was cracking me up.  I danced with her and Eun Jong and Jennifer, it was fun.  It was just some upbeat house, kinda reminded me of being at a rave, so it was a little weird.  People kept buying bottles of champagne and passing them around, so more free drinks!  ha!  There was another room playing hip hop, but we didn't hang in there much.  It was bad radio hip hop, not anything very good.  After getting pretty toasted at that place we stumbled to the nearby McDonald's, there were some douchy dudes in there from Europe I think.  I wanted to tell them they were douchebags, but I didn't, hahaha.  I got a Big Mac and some fries, it seemed like the hugest amount of food cause it was american size.  Needless to say I didn't eat even half of it.  The smaller portions here have shrunk my appetite, which is fine with me.  There were a bunch of businessmen passed out at the tables in the McDonald's, it was pretty funny.

After that we headed back to the train station and I pretty much passed out til we transfered to another line.  Then I passed out again.  My group all got off 5 stops before my town in Kitaranashino, so the last leg home I was alone.  I totally passed out, but everyone on the train pretty much was.  I got home about 7 or 8 am and passed out til 2.  Then I got ready and got some late lunch at Pic Nic.  Delicious as usual.  I decided to go to the mall cause I was really wanting to buy something, I didn't care what.  When I got there I just milled around walking into every store for like an hour.  I bought a hat, that I decided was kind of a rip off, but whatevs.  It was originally 2400 yen, marked down to 1600, so like $16.  I guess that's not too bad.  Then I found some really cute black wedges that are super comfy!  I am lucky, cause the biggest size they make at most places is like an american 8, so I wasn't sure if they would even fit me.  But they do!  The were like 4000($40) yen, so not bad.  I stopped at the Kaldi's store and bought some peanut butter, yeah JIF!  I heard it was expensive here, but I only paid $3.50 for it, I think it was on sale.  I headed home after that, and that's where I am now.  I work tomorrow and Sunday, usually Sunday is my day off, too, but there are 3 extra work days in my contract throughout the year, so I am getting one out of the way now.  

Sayonara for now!
