Just taken him easy...

Yah! Its break time! Hurrah!
So on Friday Mr.Ohta cancelled for some reason (hurray) and I was able to get out of class an hour and a half early which is always nice. Too it was good because every Friday now I have been dreading somewhat because he gets mad at me ha-ha. Wait that’s not funny...

So on Saturday I went and helped out with an interview for possible Japanese exchange students and then I went and walked around some random parks in the area and came home. The next day I went to a Concert for international music festival, or something or other that was okay. On Monday I met up with a student who wanted to interview me and asked me some questions. Some questions are things like describing the Canadian culture, which is multicultural so I always tell them it depends on each family’s heritage for what traditions they celebrate. My most favourite question is what I find weird about the Japanese culture. That would be the fact that they rarely touch each other. They always bow and rarely shake hands and I never see friends hugging. I have seen two couples that were in a type of embrace or holding hands. So then after people find that I think that it is a bit odd that they don’t touch they end up going out of their way to touch me. Ha-ha this is kind of funny because I know it’s not genuine and it’s somewhat awkward and a little forced on their part.

On Tuesday I did not really do too much but I went to a near by shopping center to see if I could get large amounts of money out at one time from my debit card and had no luck. So I will just have to use the post office which only lets me take out sums of $100.00 at a time. Every time I use the service it costs me $2.50 which is better because it was costing me $8.00 Canadian. I need to use the machine 8 times to get the proper amount of money I need for my tattoo and grocery money/bills for the rest of the month until I can get cash from the University. I get my tattoo on December 24th at 1pm, IM SOOOOOOOO EXCITED~! Oh I finally found a razor and the cheapest on was $8.50 roughly. Oh well I hope the shaving goes well ha-ha, I’m more afraid of that then the actual tattoo.

Today I went into Namba to see how long it would take me to walk to the tattoo parlour so I could make and educate myself on how much time I would need to have for traveling and walking and such to be on time. When I went up into the tattoo shop some man was running around in his ginch I did not think anything of it really until about an hour later and was like….sweet. Ha-ha oh I’m so excited! I also bought my first cup of coffee of sorts today in like…I don’t know…since I ‘accidentally’ ate coconut which I then happened to be allergic to and my throat closed up half way. It was not that good it was a gingerbread latte from star bucks with soymilk. I don’t even really like coffee. Watch this tomorrow I will find myself buying some because I am addicted. I found some shirts that said ‘I (heart) NAKED” I was tempted but no. I am going to go to the second hand shop in the area and see if I can find any cool band t-shirts for when I get my tattoo because I need a loose fitting top. I saw my time slot for when I should be getting the tattoo and it looked like only 4 hours…so I’m hoping that means he is a speedy artist.

Anyways tomorrow I am going to pick up more groceries, and take out monies I need. Possibly mail some post cards out that I bought today! Oh yea…and do my homework! I better not forget about that! Love you guys and thank you for all who sent me X-mas cards and gifts. Love you all so much! Feel free to visit anytime, free room and board! I’ll even cook nutritious cruelty-free/wheat-free food! Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm!
Love
