I had a Japanese exam yesterday. I thought that it went ok.
As a consequence I have been doing little else apart from working and studying for the past week.
I met up with Japanese friend in Shibuya last night. We had dinner which was nice.
Currently it’s Saturday. I’m in the communal room watching TV. Video hits is on.
Some of the clips are good. I like the Banzai clip with Kimura Kiera. Minimal yet fun.
Last night after I left my friend in Shibuya, I came back to Kichijouji. I determined to walk around a bit looking for a green tea flavoured soft serve place. I couldn’t find one so I started to go in the direction of the guest house. While I was buying another type of ice cream at the convenience store I bumped into some of the other house mates on a beer run from the park.
I momentarily considered swapping my ice cream for beer but thought the better of it. We walked to Inokashira park.
I sat around for a while with the others in the park.
One of the house mates played Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit on acoustic guitar.
He is french but sang the English lyrics well.
A drunk offers us some food that I decline with my politest Japanese. Despite his drunkeness, he wasn’t too insistent.
We talked a bit about a date I had been on. I tried to ask some of the japanese housemates about the dating rules in Japan but I am still confused. Just play it by ear I think.
Soon after I finish my ice cream I leave for the house. Once there, I see that one of the Japanese house mates was watching the american version of Vanilla Skies with Tom Cruise on the communal TV. I haven’t seen it in a while. It’s pretty good.
