Today we have been very busy! Tomo and I left the house this morning with Nahomi, who dropped us off at the bus station on her way to work. Tomo and I went to a huge shopping mall... it was really cool!
I was surprised at how incredibly expensive things were. Shirts that would've costed $10 in America were 3000 yen ($30)!
Needless to say, I didn't have much luck in the clothes departments, but looking at all of the notebooks, pens, and folders was really fun!
For lunch I experienced a Japanese style food court, similar to ours with better food.
I didn't know exactly what I was getting when I pointed to the picture of tempura on the window.
A few minutes later I had a bowl full of rice, fried beans, fried shrimp, and friend pumpkin.
It was delicious! I also tried a rice ball with slimy, sesame seaweed, but it didn't taste as good as the tempura.
After we ate, Tomo and I went to take Purikura. Purikura means `print club` in Japanese.　It's basically a photo booth except 20 times cooler!
The machine takes your picture then you you get to choose backgrounds on a touch screen. Then you move to the next booth to write and add stamps (electronically) to your photos..
it was soooooo awesome!

It is still very, very hot here... even hotter than NC!

Thank you for reading my entries.
Sorry if my entries are boring... I am going to try harder in the future to make them less mundane ;)
