Japanese Class and meeting Aya


Had class today like usual and met up with Aya around 3:00 It was good to see her again, she is hilarious. We headed to Taito Station in Shinjuku where we headed to the Purikura and took this and some other photos.
For some reason many people in Japan thing that the claw machines or the UFO catcher as they are known here are games that you can actually win at. Aya is one of those people and must have spent $10 trying to get prizes from these machines. The claws are just as weak as the ones in the US but the Game Center Staff opens the machines and places the items near the edge so it looks like it's easy to win.
After that we played Taiko Drum Master and I found out that she is really good at House of the Dead 4 and has made it to the last level of the game.
From there we headed to Rakeru which is a good Omu-raisu place. Omuraisu is basically a omelet with fried rice inside. There are many variations that include chicken, or other things to give it a different flavor.
We headed out to Yodobashi Camera and then to TRADER where she picked up the Japanese English dictionary for her Nintendo DS. Then we headed to the 7th floor of Lumine 2 where they have a comedy club and lots of merchandise based on different comedians in Japan.
Then I headed home had some Natto and that was the day.

Man, you are really getting into that Natto stuff. Are you starting to smell like it? In Nam when guys ate a lot of food with the fish sauce on it, they began to smell like it.
