Where to begin...
Well, I sang with the Jazz band I mentioned before, and I wasn't so good, but I pronounced good English and that was enough to get a round of applause : ) They were really nice, and it was a lot of fun. But I think I will pass on next months performance!
Right now are my midterms and I am busy (kind of ) studying for them. Actually, I am procrastinating so much that this blog is only another way for me not to study.
And for some reason, that reminded me of a short hilarious story. Once upon a time, a foreigner tried to use a Japanese style bathroom... and stepped in the toilet. The end.
That foreigner was me. Thank goodness the water was clean and shallow!!
And now for something completely different.
A list of new revelations about life in Japan:
- If you can fit through a hole the size of the giant Buddha statues nose in Nara, it is good luck.
- The Japanese always pick up after themselves to an extreme. You never just leave a party. You help pick up every single tiny piece of garbage first.
- Don't leave home without your toilet paper! A lot of public restrooms don't provide you with any. So you have to be prepared.
- They say you always walk, drive, and ride on the left side of the road. But really, is is one big free for all. I don't know which side is correct half the time.
- Yodobashi Camera (a large store in Osaka) has everything you could ever need. And more.
- Uni-qlo is the discount clothing store of Japan. Everyone shops there. You should too.
- There is a commercial of a crying child eating KFC . The child gets happy the more he eats chicken.
- I saw a childrens pokemon-esqe show where a monster used "shit face attack". Hilarious.
- Real men in Japan have shoulder bags. This creeps me out to no end, because I sometimes cannot tell a man from a woman just seeing them from behind!
- My homestay mom is on the popular banana diet. where you just eat a banana for breakfast everyday.
well, gosh, i really don't know what else to talk about!
