払い方が難しかった
Maybe I was a little too preemptive in saying that my culture journal would be boring to read, because today I wrote about how backbreakingly difficult it was to split up a check fairly at dinner. In the end and looking back, it was a fun time of cultural exchange, but the differences we saw were quite complex.
I hear the guild is doing quite well without me, now 1 shotting most of TK, so maybe I can take another international trip to an opposite timezone for the whole of July! Or maybe I can just go to Chicago and play high society sports all day and WoW all night!
A combination of being unconcerned with taking pictures and low battery leaves me with only two good pictures today, today's breakfast, which included tomato juice, milk, a personal pan pizza, and a new tasty salad, and lots of small kids wearing hats, which I took while stopped at a crossing on the way to the station today.
高すぎなシェッキ
Last night right before I went home we went back to the arcade and played DDR (can you see the sweat? ugh). On the way through the supermarket to buy my daily 4 liters of water, I was hardco thirsty, so I stopped at a smoothie king looking stand. At first, I tried to order a 200 yen バブルショット (bubble shot?) having no idea what it was, but the girl told me they couldn't make it. So, I submitted and ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, a 450 yen mineral fortified mango shake.
It was 8 ounces, and not really that good. So there are wastefully priced luxury items in Japan! I learned to expect the unexpected when ordering something I have no idea about :P
学校
I may also have gotten an interview with a German woman who works at Daimler Japan, 2 weeks from now. That would push the count up to two English speakers employed in Japan, and help my project be a lot more legitimate than it is now.
だから
Tonight we're going to 回転寿司店, a revolving sushi restaurant, which should be fun and 写真 (photo) filled. Tomorrow is Tokyo too, same deal. Then Sunday, I think, we're going to a 祭 (Japan festival), so I have to buy some of the traditional clothes. Everyone tells me I won't be able to find clothes that are big enough, so I'll probably look really goofy.
最後、大和魂が言われるTシャーツを着るかどうか分かりません！

In fact, I didn't want you to pay just for me as I told the other Chiba students to join us. I needed someone to stay with you until 10pm because your host mom had said she wouldn't be home until it pasts 10pm and it was too late for me to stay. They were there for you so I thought you should pay for all of them, but I was like "wait, what about UA students?" We couldn't pay all the 8 people either(it was too expensive), so I just thought it's better to make you pay for a half price.
Does it make sense better? Well, I bet it still sounds too Japanese for you.
