Something happened today
in Tokyo. I was watching the news and found this very funny. At the
Imperial Palace this guy from Spain decided to walk around naked. You
should have seen the video they captured on this guy. So then, he was
being chased by the police and he ended up falling into the moat there.
There was a paddle boat in it and then he started swimming after the
boat trying to throw rocks at it. haha it was funny seeing those people
try to row away. He then got himself out of the water and someone
grabbed one of the sticks the police had that were hitting them. He then
started chasing everyone with that and threatening a rock at them.
Everyone was running away haha. He somehow fell back into the water again
and eventually the police got him. So funny. I'll have to find the
video on YouTube and give you guys the link. What an idiot haha. Founds
it ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHjvoHgQSvA
So anyway, I went to Ushiku Daibutsu on Sunday. It's one of the biggest Buddah statues in the world. The height of this statue was the height of 3 Statue of Liberties put together. There was a stone showing that. I also got to go inside it and up it. But believe me, it wasn't that exciting. Sure, now I can at least say I've been there but there really was nothing special about it. The best part of it was maybe was seeing the koi fish go crazy for food (haha wait till you see that video I took) and the usagi (rabbit) park. Yes, there was actually a separate area where there were animals including a bunny petting/feeding area. There were also guinea pigs in a cage. Not that the animals weren't nice and all but what does that have to do with the Buddah?
-sigh- That Rotary thing is this weekend. I won't be here for 3 full days, kinda sucks since I really don't want to go either. Even more so since I found out 1) only squat toilets exist in this place and I'm SLEEPING there for two nights and 2) public bath. Well, I mean it's not mixed but I'm gunna have to wash with a bunch of people. That's just something I'm not prepared for. Of course there's nothing wrong with it but you're just self-conscious and stuff. American's don't do this stuff. So, um, it should be something. I guess it'll prepare me for an onsen. Some of my classmates were talking about it last week and I think they're inviting me whenever they decide to go. They were asking me about it. Plus they had to explain to me that towels AREN'T used in the onsen. I thought they were. Not anymore obviously. So yeah. Monday I'll have to blog how that went. Hah. No school Monday either. Japanese school students sure get a lot of days off. It's niceee ^_^
I got Ai her early birthday gift last week too. She loves Ayumi Hamasaki and just last month a DVD/CD box set of all her singles was released. At least that's done with now. Her birthday is next month anyway. I think the 24th? Somewhere in the 20s. Speaking of J-pop, anyone here listen to Koda Kumi? She came out with a new song, it's awesome. It's called Taboo. I don't listen to her but this song grabbed me and now I'm addicted. Listening to it now too actually.
Can't really report anything new about school or anything really. There were tests today and yesterday. Got out of school early... Oh yeah! Freaking Friday! So, we got out of school early at 12. I'm there walking to my bus stop and bus 19 goes right past me. I was ready to run to the bus stop, I was only a few feet away from it, but it wouldn't have help because it didn't even stop. Why? Because if the bus driver sees no one at a stop it drives right past. Great. The only bus I totally trust that will take me home just left me. Now what? Well, I have been debating those last few days to one day just walk home. It's not like I'd get lost because I only have to walk down the same road and my house is eventually on a corner. And I needed the exercise anyway. Today just happened to be the perfect opportunity since I missed my bus (I could have waited for another but I didn't feel like waiting around and maybe end up taking the wrong bus). So, I walked. Never again. That was terrible! I didn't realize how freaking far away I really lived until then! It didn't seem that far on the bus. It took me around 30 mins to get home. Okaa-san was probably wondering where I was. Lunch was waiting for me when I came back haha. Oh gosh, but never again. In that heat with the new school uniforms, oh yeah, since October started we have to wear out winter uniform which is long sleeves. I think it's ugly. But in that heat it was like suicide. Plus crossing streets just trying to avoid getting hit, or from the stupid cars speeding by and your skirt wanting to fly up. Geeze. That was too far of a walk. Never. Never again.
I'll upload Buddah and Tokyo Tower photos tomorrow, I promise you all that. I don't even have the Buddah pictures on my computer yet. I have to stop with the lazyness. As for now, I'm going to sleep. Oyasumi!
