CRAZY Masako and Me

CRAZY came from pictures of my sweet 16. If you look and see the ones of me and Masako, none of them make her look anything but crazy. Thus she was dubbed Crazy Masako and well, the name kind of stuck. After a week of cell emails, we finally arranged to meeto for lunch and karaoke of the 4th. So at 1, we met up in front of Tosajoshi. Then we headed out to lunch at Hirome market. We both got a plate of Takoyaki and then wrestled thru the crowds for a bench. During our lunch we talked about Masako's American adventure and why she's glad to be home. After our lunch, we got the mandatory PURIKURA! And as you can see, we had a fun time inside the little photo booth. AFter 2 sets of photos we headed to Karaoke. Of course we first had to go to like 3 places that were full to capacity until we found a place that the wait was only 20 minutes. Inside the room we started and for 2 hours sang our hearts out. Mostly American music. But I tried my first go at JPOP. It was much too fast for me but hey I still tried, right? When our 2 hours was sadly up, we paid (the enormous bill) and then left. On our bikes back we joked around and said goodbye. I love hanging out my friends!

Yurie and Me Causing Trouble

I have followed every single Tosajoshi/ Host Family/ Rotary rule known to man kind. Yurie has also been a bit of a goody two shoes. So I think Troublemakers is definitely an overstatement. But then again Cell Phones?!? Uniforms In Public?!?! We are bad girls! So on tuesday night I drove my bike to Tosajoshi to meet Yurie. We drove halfway to Aeon, the Kochi shopping center, and stopped for a quick bite to eat with Yurie's mother and sister. I gave them their presents, which they simply adored. Sae-mama also mentioned she bought me a pink Ipod. I was like WHAT!?!?!?! We couldn't stay long because we were meeting a friend at the mall. Back on our bikes, we made the 5 minute ride with only one crash. *chuckles* At the mall we met with the friend and then did some shopping. I almost bought something, but I opted out to try on jeans. I can actually fit into Japanese jeans. How amazing is that? After a while, Yurie's friend had to leave, so Yurie and I were stuck together. Thus we did my favorite thing ever! PRIKURA! And as you can see from the lovely decorations. We certainly had an enjoyable Prikura session. After this, we bought some Takoyaki and talked about America. I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch and saw the time. Unfortunatly we had to say goodbye, and rode off into the night. hehe
