Yata!

Bonjour mon petit poi!





Just got back from unibersity.
Got some shit to show yer.

Firstly this happened last night.

haha, it was realllly funny. the chances.








On Monday I went to see some pretty underground Japanese bands.


They were very good, one of the bands (possibly called 'music+beat+organic'..) had an
amazing drummer who played bongo's and all these percussion instrument i dont know the name of. He is the one in the green on the left here:
Also he is the best tamborine player i ever did see.








Another band playing acoustic music had a japanese girl singing, who gave me a homemade cookie because i filled out a question sheet in a language she could not read.


That is her.

This is the Horse sushi that I was just
dying to try.

It was a bit chewy because its raw but was nevertheless quite nice.
Next up is Whale.





This is Yuta and his friend whose boyfriend went travelling for 6 months in Glasgow.









This is me and Takuro.

This is a poster for a musical called URINETOWN., it has pictures off loo roll on it and everything is gold and they are standing in a big puddle. I dont understand so maybe i should get a ticket.
this is a button on my new phone whose purpose evades me. this is a drawing for a storyboard.This is just a drawing.Ted in progress.
The house at the bottom of the road.

Kareoke was great, Gaijin only though so its a different experience because we generally know the words to all the songs other people sing. Otherwise you sit there listening to J-pop for hours and its very boring. But we sang from 12 till 5 with all you can drink and i have developed a taste for bloody marys somehow.
What i stole: This Evangelion poster. I was surprised that people were shocked when you get drunk and steal stuff on your way home. They were really trying to stop me. Haha apparently I was yelling 'I'm Drunk, I'm 21, I'm A student and I'm English!' Haha, its just not the same if you can't steal random things like signs, traffic cones and posters. Anyway apparently I can sell this poster on eBay for about 3000 yen. Any offers?

So that is a good weekend, I will take lots of photos now i have a new camera. It is duty-free!
I went to Akihabara yesterday which is a electrical goods paradise. After the war americans sold their radio equipment on the black market here and you can still buy old radios and stuff. It hasn't changed since then. This is also the place where you can find maid bars, towers of anime related goods and random stuff like this.

And now the Weather.
Last week we caught the edge of a typhoon from Malaysia and it rained for 3 days. But the week before that I think we reached 25.
Now it is hot and sunny again and you can tell the rainy season is coming because you wake up covered in sweat and i just showered and im already quite sticky. I should have brought more tee-shirts with me.

The more you know who you are, and what you want,
the less you let things upset you.
