Final days with lovely friends

For the most part, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Thursday 7/12
Hinata and I had our level 9 exam part one.
Then, afterward, we went with Tamaki, Makoto, Dai, Catie, and these two other girls from camp Aki and Yoko to Shinjuku for some drinks and dinner. It was a lot of fun.

 

 

Saturday 7/14

Hinata and I had our last exams; except I had three and she had 2. I then rushed to Shibuya, bought a yukata, and rushed to go see fireworks by a river near Sugita. Fireworks bring with them the flavor of summer! Afterwards, we went to an 'ennichi', a small festival with lots of stalls selling food and stuff.

 

 Sunday 7/15
Catie and I went to the Pokemon Center in Hamamatsucho.

It's actually very small, but right in front of it, there were two lines of people with their Nintendo DSs battling each other using Wifi. That was kind of funny.

 Afterward, I went to hang out with Nick and Kameliya and Nick treated me to sushi! Aw...he's so sweet♥ This was my last unagi (eel) in Japan, so I saved it for last! So delicious...

 Monday 7/16
I went to visit Akiba (Akihabara) for the last time. I went by myself for the first time so I could take my time enjoying being a nerd haha...
Bye-bye Akiba!

In the evening, I went with Hinata, Kamelija, Nick, Laura, Miharu, Lisa, and Shawn to Shibuya for dinner and drinks. Aw I'm going to miss everyone...I really love all the exchange student friends I made here! We definitely have to meet someday in the future!

 These were daikon radish noodles. They were really long, as you can see.

 Miharu's everday upset face

 We played a game called 'Hello, governer' and this was the drink you had to drink if you messed up. It got more disgusting as the night when on as people started adding dipping sauce and beer to it...Plus, unfortunately, I was one of the ones who messed up the most...

 A last picture of Shibuya, which Miharu messed up by putting his hands in the way...(upset)

Wednesday 7/18

Hinata, Eric, Margaret, and I went to a shabu-shabu (boiled meat) restaurant for dinner with Catie and her dad. We went to Baskin Robbins (aka 31) for dessert. 

Thursday 7/19

Hinata and I ran into Lisa on our way to do errands and we had our last ramen for lunch, as well as my first ramune soda in Japan!

Afterward, we said goodbye to Lisa (T-T), Hinata closed her cellphone account, I closed my bank account, and we came home. On our way home, we came across Kamelija and Nick and Eric and Margaret and we stopped for some ice cream at the convenience store. It was so hot today...

I'm going to really miss bumping into my friends in public all the time...
Tonight, I have a final dinner with some friends, which I'll probably talk about later, and tomorrow I'm off for Australia! This week went by especially fast.
