monday
school was pretty laid back today. only taught a couple of classes. played some bball after school and had a good time.
finished early cuz i had to go meet ko and yuko (she homestayed with my mother's friends about 5 years ago) @ tsudanuma station. we were goin' on for ko (just finished his 2 tests for the police dept) and yuko. didn't really recognize her cuz it's been such a long time. she was visitin' the tokyo area for the past 4 days and is headin' back to hokkaido on tuesday.
when i met up with ko, we started walkin' towards the gate and i was like, ummm...where are we goin'??? he said ueno. i was like tokyo?!? i thought we were goin' to chill in tsudanuma. he then tells me the reason we're meetin' in ueno is that rieko (ko's g/f) is goin' to join us. i was like what, what, what?!? man...you gotta tell me these things so i can prepare myself. but in the end, it was all good. 4th day straight goin' out to tokyo.
got to ueno i went to meet up with rieko in front of starbucks. we were waitin' for about 10 min when ko gets an email sayin' that she's in starbucks!!
we decided to go to watami because yuko took this seminar through the watami group and there aren't any watamis in hokkaido. from this point, starts our journey...
ko and yuko had no idea where it was at but rieko and i kinda had an idea. we first went my way, but to no avail, couldn't find it...strike 1. so then we took rieko's way, but in the end, negative...strike 2. we then split up, but yet again...nothin'...strike 3. we finally called watami and ko went to scout it out. after about a total of 30-40 min, we finally found it. the ordeal increased our appetites quite well.
situated ourselves and got some drinks and ordered some food. man, can rieko pound some beer, yo! from the first toast, she was already 2/3 of the way done!!
as for the food, it was the most food i've eaten with four people, regardless if two of them were girls. we (yuko, rieko and i) exchanged numbers/mail addresses by infared and took pictures to go along with the phone entries all while ko watched cuz he has a pretty old ketai. when i first tried to beam my number, yuko tells me that i didn't change the default name so it showed up as "my number".
it was interestin' to see rieko and ko together cuz for the past 3 months, they haven't really had any communication cuz he had been studyin' for his tests. i still can't believe she was down for that. don't think that would work out with a girl back home. we also compared stories/pictures of each other. ko, at his biggest stage was about 100kg (220lbs) but is now at around 65kg (143lbs). rieko mentioned that when they first met (about 1 1/2 years ago), she didn't think he was that big (ko @ the time was probably around 75kg) but she then says that she was drunk. yuko's story was that when she came to america, only for one year, she gained 8kg (about 18lbs). i just had to show them my alien's card and they said i looked totally different.
as we finally wrapped things up, yuko gave rieko and i some omiyage from hokkaido. she gave me a box shiroi koibito (literally = white lovers, but probably means more like snow lovers) a very famous cookie/chocolate maker.
as we were leavin', i had to remind rieko about her scarf that was on the floor. when we walked out, we got about 100 meters when rieko realizes that she forgot her ketai @ the restaurant. i think she put it down when she went to pick up her scarf. rieko cracks me up all the time.
the night started on a bad note, but i ended up havin' a great time. next trip...hokkaido!!!
