It's 8 am in the bloody morning - what's with the shouting out of megaphones??? Elections for mayor are going on in this area so we've had little vans with people on megaphones going through the city all day and night shouting some random stuff in japanese. But really? 8 am on a SATURDAY? This being the country where there is ABSOLUTELY no talking on your cell phone on the train (Apart from when it is late and then only standing towards the wall with you're hand over you're mouth). Yet they can run around with their megaphones...tsk.
Anyway I fall asleep again until about 11ish...at which point I decide it's best to do something with the day. I call up Imogen, a girl I've been told to contact, and we meet up and go for Ramen and coffee at Tully's (a better version of starbucks). We chat about all sorts of stuff..it's really good, when you meet a girl that is quite similar to you. We went around the shops and I learnt that it isn't uncommon to not be able to try on the clothes in the shop! I wanted to try on this top and she was like no you can't. I learn that they're a bit paranoid about hair or make-up getting on to the clothes. Some shops will provide hairnets or even bags for you're head, so you can try stuff on.....We got lost in the book shop for about an hour...I sooooo need literature, it's not even pretty anymore...I just can't bare to pay so much for books when I know I have them at home or could get them cheaper...aarrrrghhhhh! There is an IMMENSE amount of homosexual manga out there! There was like a whole section dedicated to romantic love stories between guys. Apparently it's really popular amongst the girls here. We thought of two theories of why it might be...the first is that the stories are quite similar to normal romantic stories..there seems to be the vulnerable girly guy, and the "man". So girls probably like the whole vunerable side of guys. the second theory is that it's basically the role reversal of the stereotype guy who likes the idea of 2 girls together.....strange taste...but fair enough..whatever floats you're boat (2 men certainly don't do it for me).
In the evening I went to speak EZ again to meet Daniel and the others. It was a little more packed this time..full of westerner's from all over the place. It was ace, there was a Japanese band playing southern American music! I forget the proper term for it, but they sang in English with that typical voice too!!! Twas awesome to the max! After that we had the DJ playing reggae from the 50's which is the type that I actually enjoy as it wasn't too slow. I met a whole bunch of new people, which was really cool. Right it's 3 am again...I should really head to bed...
hopefully those damn megaphone people will respect Sunday peace.
