Lots of new meetings♪

Today, I met a lot of new people!

At 9am, I went with Stephanie to meet her friend Azusa in Jiyuugaoka. From the station, we went to this place where Japanese people practice English conversation together. (Usually it's 500yen per session, but it's free for native English speakers haha) So...it wasn't really Japanese practice, but they practiced their English with me and we shared culture together and I met lots of interesting people! Everyone there was older than me--mid 20s to late 50s even 60s maybe.

After the conversation session, a bunch of people went out to lunch together and we had omuraisu!

I was stuck at a table the only girl with two older guys...so it was kinda awkward but they were nice enough and this time, I had a lot of Japanese conversation practice! Midway through lunch, one of the guys got a nosebleed though and everyone was making fun of him like "It's just that he got so excited since a pretty girl like Kenia was at his table" lol...

Then, we went to a beautiful Japanese style cafe called Kosouan. (I've come to learn that after lunch, Japanese people ALWAYS need to go to a cafe or something afterwards for tea.)

It was so beautiful. The garden was so bright and calm--Japanese style. An older lady was sitting there painting.

 Because Shintaro-san insisted on taking a picture of me in the place lol.

 Each drink came with a small Japanese sweet. This was delicious strawberry milk (much better than Nesquik lol). It was just the right coolness and very frothy. I love the way you eat Japanese sweets with little wooden picks. They're just perfect to slice the sweet and then eat it in tiny bites. Ahhh it was so lovely♥

Stephanie, me, and Azusa-chan.

It was really so much fun today. But, overall, my favorite meeting was when I went up to this girl at the end and said,

 "Kenia desu."

She responds, "Heh~Tooi desu ne" (Wow, that's far.)

Me: "Iya, kuni ja nakute, namae desu..." (No, not the country, it's my name...lol)

((P.S. Mother, Daddy...not to worry, for I have finally given in and bought toilet paper today. You're welcome.))
