The past few days...

Hi, it's been a while since I posted!

So, this is what I've been up to...

On Monday, me, Stephanie, and this girl from Hong Kong named Kit went out for drinks with Kim-san and Kotaro-senpai. I had met Kim-san before but I met Kotaro-senpai for the first time. It was pretty much just talking the whole time--well, Stephanie did most of the talking and I pretty much didn't stand out at all AGAIN. Kit doesn't speak Japanese at all, but she's cute so she stands out in her own way...I actually told Stephanie on Tuesday that she talks a lot--not in a mean way but just as a fact. Not that she doesn't know already. I really have no problem with it. She should be herself. It's just a bit frustrating that she steals all the spotlight. But, I told an lady I was conversing with this on Tuesday and she said, yeah, that happens, but don't worry because there are lots of Japanese people who are like me. So, I just have to meet them and it'll be ok :) So, well, Monday wasn't that much fun...but senpai paid for our drinks (as an apology for being 5 min late--Japanese are really strict on punctuality) so it's cool♪ This is what I had:
It was like a kiwi thing...really sweet but didn't taste alcoholic at all.

On Tuesday, I studied all day. Then at 6pm, me and Stephanie went to a Japanese conversation workshop with Hiroko-san. A bunch of foreigners get together from the neighborhood and practice with Japanese volunteers speaking, reading, whatever. Stephanie got placed with Hiroko-san and I forgot the name of the lady I was with, but she was from Kyoto and really nice. Hiroko-san was so funny like last time and just couldn't stop talking how amazing I was for teaching myself Japanese. Haha it was embarrassing...

Then, today I had class pretty much all day and was tired when I got home. I wanted to get my alien registration card, but I finished class at 4 and the place closes at 5 so there was no time. I'll do it tomorrow since I don't have class in the morning. On the way back home, I picked up a bento for dinner.

It was pretty yummy. It was my first time tasting a Japanese omelette. As I've heard, it tastes sweet rather than salty so it was a different flavor from what I'm used to but it was really yummy. I also got to taste some kabocha! (Japanese squash) It was a very autumn-y flavor.

On another note, I finished the drama 'Ikemen desu ne' today and it was soo cute! Why haven't I met any Japanese celebrities yet when I live so close to them??? I need to go exploring Tokyo some more...

  1. Lo que pasa es que si te juntas con muchos japoneses como tu os convertireis en la Fiesta del Silencio. Pero yo te he visto y oido hablar como un lorito con tus amigos, asi que no creo que la cosa sea tan seria. Con calma, poco a poco, conoceras personas y estaras en situaciones donde puedas hablar con calma (o risas) y podras entonces ser oida.
