Come up the century!
Woke up way earlier than I wanted to...4:30am!!! Got to school before Takahashi sensei...the first time I beat him at something. After the speech practice with the 7th graders, I had about 2 hours before my next lesson...so I took a nap in the meeting room. As I awoke, Takahashi sensei left some onigiri (rice balls w/fish, meat and/or vegatables) and a bottle of Bottle Rocks. Bottle Rocks is frozen flavored ice cubes in which you add your own water. A pretty interesting drink that tasted like Aquarius or Pocari Sweat. After the second lesson, Takahashi sensei and I went to some 2nd furniture stores.
We went to one near the school and saw some nice tables and bookshelves. Not knowing what a good price is, the table and bookshelf I was looking at was about $40. We went to another one near his house and we found a table that was better (it was a kotatsu table, the one with a heater in it to keep you warm in the winter and it was bigger) and was only about $5!!! By far, the best deal I've come across while in Japan. I also got a microwave for about $25!
Unfortunately, Takahashi sensei's Mini Cooper would not fit the table. So we had to go to his house and switch cars with his wife. His wife, Masako, is so cool. She invited me over for a tonkatsu party.
Now my apartment is 95% complete. Just need a bookcase and I'll be set. But the table was a crucial part. Now my place is really Japanese. I sleep on a futon and have a kotatsu table.
Right now I'm chattin' with Lev (Tri's buddy) through Tri's webcam. He's makin' me crack up. But anyhow...everyone should get Yahoo! IM. It's way superior to AIM in so many ways. Run it along with AIM, it can't hurt.
Well...gonna wrap this up. Maybe write something later. Peace ya'll!
