RAINY DAYYYY

Today it rained for a change. Oh, I think I said it in the post I added this morning. Well, it was windy too. We went to the local shopping center Cocowalk and it was cooooool. There is a ferris wheel on the side of the building/ on the roof o__o

We went there with Mia and walked about around in circles, then sat a while in Starbucks. After that we went to collect Elina and Saana from that shopping district where we were yesterday and came back to Cocowalk to eat.

I tried to look for that adapter/computer's akkupiuha but never found any kind of shop selling those kinds of things. Well, I'll survive. For the moment.

We hanged around the upper floors with Elina and Saana and of course ended up in PURIKURA. Google it if you don't know. When we had taken our pictures and decorated them the local giigling and "kawaii"-shouting girls came to ask us to accompany them to their photos. To some we were just a decoration of sorts but Ami and Meiko were wonderful and even gave us half of the pictures! Sorry for the shitty quality but there is no light here so I'll take better pics later :<

Morning

It's ten in the morning here and it's raining. Again. Well, at least we're not in a hurry. (And that's what you get when you knowingly come to Japan during the rainy season.)

Yesterday we were supposed to go to bed early to catch up on our sleep deprivation but look how well that turned out: we spent over two hours in skype talking to our parents/families and Rosa. And when we got aroung to actually get some sleep IT DIDN'T COME. I rolled around for over an hour waiting to fall into oblivion and get rested but no.

Yesterday was actually the first day we went around at all, as the day before that we were spent and all we could do besides settling in in the hostel was a walk around the neighbourhood. Yesterday we went to the Peace Park and walked around in the rain. Some local ninth graders came, asking us to fill in some survey concerning the atomic experiments and whatever relating and I'm still embarrased not having remembered the dates when the bombs exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Well, I knew Hiroshima's date but I wrote that I didn't and thank God we didn't have to put our names in it. At least I knew the year.

When we were leaving some cute kids walked past us and we got a class-ful of "Haroo!" and elementary kids waving. And one "Yo" which I prompted though, by saying it first XD. It was so cute.

We also went to the local Chinatown (they're everywhere I tell you) and walked around STILL IN THE RAIN, but when we found the local outside mall with a roof or whatever and could walk around without getting wet. We found the 100 yen shop and I bought very important stuf.

View from that shopping district/mall/ w/e ^ photos are now few and far between because it's RAINING (oh I said it already? Well, I'll say it again. RAINING.) so I don't want to get my camera wet kthxbye.

In the evening we went to the local supermarket and got food (finally) and speaking of it we're going to eat now n__n

Sorry for the kilometre-long entry but it's boring because it's raining hard and windy so... it's not very appealing going out now so we're pretty much stuck in our room.
