Ufuu... Up late! I hung out with Gabe and Cathie in Shibuya tonight. Good times, although we didn't do much besides walk around and eat. We tried okonomiyaki, a sort of Japanese pizza, and it was good, even though we were clueless and didn't know how to make it, and had to have the waitress help us.
We also went to a music store, and I found some cheap, used 100-yen CDs - a trance compilation and the Scatman CD. Oh, I laughed over that one, but it was so cheap, I couldn't resist. I've loaded the music onto my iPod, so I will listen to it tomorrow while I ride the train. The next time I go into a store with used CDs, I'm going to pick up some random J-pop. Should be fun.
It was so good to hang out with English-speaking people again. Not that the people at Hitachi are bad at English, but I have to talk a lot slower around them. It was also cool to hear about other peoples' experiences. I am reminded again how fortunate and unusual I am to be living across the street from my workplace. Cathie has internet in her room, though. I am jealous. ;~;
I left Shibuya around 11:30pm, because the trains stop running midnightish (actually, it's closer to 1, but that's what I thought at the time). Unfortunately, everyone had the same idea, so I got a real taste of humans-as-sardines on the ride back. Every time we'd stop and I'd start to be able to breathe again, more people would get on the train, and I'd be squashed back into my corner. Fortunately, I got a seat halfway through, but then I just felt guilty because I was in one of those priority seats that you're supposed to give up for old people and stuff, and I was all... young and stuff. Yeah. Oh well, no one beat me for sitting there or anything.
