OKAY SO I JUST GOT BACK FROM AN AWESOME CLASS TRIP TO AWESOME JAPAN WITH MY AWESOME CLASS AND IT WAS GREAT!
HERES SOME JAPANESE ANTICS:
DAY 1
AFTER A 16 HOUR FLIGHT OF GRUELING PAIN, BOREDOME [DON'T YOU HATE WHEN PEOPLE SPELL BOREDOM LIKE I JUST DID?], AND ROSCO THE DEMON DOG, WE ARRIVED AT NARITA AIRPORT AND SPENT LIKE TEN MINUTES PHOTOGRAPHING EVERYTHING THERE.
AFTER GOING THROUGH THAT SECURITY THING WE WENT DOWN ESCALATORS [I LOVE ESCALATORS heart ] TO A SMALL CONVENIENT STORE [コNビニエNト ストア] TO BUY SOME ONIGIRI AND A DRINK. I CLOSED MY EYES WHEN I BOUGHT MY ONIGIRI AND DIDN'T READ THE LABEL SO IT WOULD BE A SURPRISE WHAT WAS INSIDE. I ATE MY FIRST ONE INSTANTLY, BUT I OPENED IT WRONG SO THE NORI WAS STUCK INSIDE THE WRAPPER.
TURNS OUT, EVERYBODY OPENED IT WRONG SO WE HAD TO BE TAUGHT TO PULL THE LITTLE STRING AROUND THE WRAPPER, THE PULL EACH END OFF SEPARATELY.
FROM THE AIRPORT WE TOOK A 1 HOUR BUS RIDE TO KAMAKURA WHICH WAS WRETCHED, BECAUSE I GOT SICK AND THREW UP THE AIRPLANE RICE IN THE BUS LAVATORY, THEN I COULDN'T LOCATE THE FLUSH BUTTON, LIKE A STUPID FOREIGNER, AND AS IT TURNS OUT, IT WAS ON THE OPPOSITE WALL.
THE BUS TOOK US TO SOME TRAIN STATION, WHERE WE WALKED UP AN EXTREMELY STEEP HILL TO OUR YOUTH HOSTIL.
OH WAIT, THATS WRONG, THE BUS TOOK US TO A TRAIN STATION, AND THE NEXT STOP WAS THE HILL ONE. FIRST WE WENT TO I THINK SAKURA GICHOU STATION AND HAD TO TAKE THE TRAIN TO THE VERY NEXT STOP, BUT ONLY HALF OF THE GROUP WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE TRAIN BECAUSE IT WAS RUSH HOUR, AND ELLIOTS SUITCASE GOT STUCK IN THE DOOR. THEN ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT JUST KEPT WALKING AND I GOT SHOVED OVER, BUT THEY KEPT COMING SO I COULDN'T GET BACK UP. IT WAS GREAT.
EVENTUALLY WE MADE IT UP THE HILL, AND ENTERED OUR YOUTH HOSTIL, WHICH WAS REAL PRETTY. WE PUT THE SHEETS ON OUR BEDS AND LIED DOWN FOR A WHILE, THEN WENT OUT FOR DINNER.
SADLY, I WAS FEELING SICK AGAIN.
HALF OF THE GROUP WENT TO A COMBINI [CONVENIENT STORE] AND THE OTHER HALF WENT TO MMOS BURGER. I REALLY WANTED A MMOS BURGER, SO I WENT WITH THAT GROUP, BUT AS I SAID, I WAS TOO TIRED AND SICK TO EAT.
BY THE WAY, MMOS BURGER OR MO'S BURGER OR WHATEVER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE [MMOS BURGER IS WHAT THE SIGN SAID] IS A JAPANESE BURGER PLACE WITH ALL THESE WIERD THINGS LIKE SHRIMP BURGERS AND WIERD SAUCES AND TOPPINGS AND WHAT.
WE GOT BACK UP THE HILL AND SHOWERED AND SLEPT.
DAY 2
WHEN I WOKE UP IT WAS SUPER BRIGHT OUT, SO I THOUGHT, "DANG, I OVERSLEPT, IT MUST BE LIKE NINE" SO I CHECKED MY SPEED RACER WATCH AND IT SAID 5:30. IT'S REALLY NICE IN JAPAN. SO THEN I HAD TO WAIT FOR 3 HOURS FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO WAKE UP, AND I PASSED THE TIME BY DRAWING AND LISTENING TO ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
FINISH LATER
