交流っていいな～
Yep the Kobe girls came today. I won’t comment on the individual attractiveness(es) of each girl, but suffice to say they all seem to be very nice people (though they don’t support the LDP. But then again I support Koizumi, not the LDP per se). Here’s a brief summary of events.
After picking them up at school (NO, NOT THAT ‘pick up’) we proceeded to Yishun for dinner (after a long, long time spent waiting for Ben-chan and debating on what to do). Once again my Japanese got pwned in the presence of natives. But that’s fine - I still have some time before it’s time for me to start my life in paradise. I’m sure I’ll be able to brush it up somehow. Anyway after stuffing ourselves (of course by some written law of nature Japanese girls don’t eat very much) the party split up to set down the baggage and stuff, while I spent some time doing weird exercises at Yishun park. (Really - you gotta try the equipment there to believe it. It was fun anyway - particularly the swing.) After waiting for half of forever, Ben-chan and his guest Kyoko showed up. So while messing around with the playground equipment we sort of chatted. Once again I stress that my Japanese is woefully inadequate. And I wonder how I managed to pass JLPT1 on the most difficult exam year on record (2006) with a comfortable margin (of 44 marks). After waiting for the half of forever Jon Yee showed up with his guest and we walked off to SAFRA. I actually surprised them by telling them about the House of Councilors elections results (put it simply the DPJ has a nice majority), and we bought drinks before Esther came along with her guest and we all went to the game center, where Ben-chan demonstrated sheer prowess with the Para Para Paradise machine. And we took pictures (of course). Then it was back to playground for more swing rides and rides on this thingy that made Jon Yee and I fear for our manhoods (no kidding - you gotta try it to believe it). I somehow managed to learn how to take a swing ride properly (its got something to do with inputing energy into the system via a set body movement to be repeated periodically) and discovered a drinks machine which theoretically accepts notes but in actual fact doesn’t. The others played some rather silly game which I just watched, and Jon Yee got to do an interesting forfeit (in true Japanese style) that I won’t describe here - go ask him. XD
Must be fun to host exchange program students (and by some miracle GIRLS in BOYS’ homes!!!). Too bad I have to leave for the United Kingdom in a few hours. I shall pack all the cheem books and lyrics I care to translate into my backpack. And I don’t have a polo tshirt. Hope all goes well (I trust Lagman isn’t a complete asshole and has some common sense).
