Karaoke and the Rest of the Weekend!

We went karaoke Saturday night and it was a blast!  So much more fun that I ever imagined.  And I'm in love with a certain thing known as Nomihoudai (aka all you can drink).  You pay an hourly (or half-hourly) fee and get to drink all you want.

Photo Booth that alters your photos to make your skin blemish free, eyes big & face thinner. Tis amazing

Best song of the night.

Dinner after Karaoke!

The next morning, Steve, Lori-chan, Nat-chan, Yuka-chan, Akane-chan & I went to Nagoya Castle to see the pretty cherry blossoms.  We ate lunch, and watched a dance, but I started feeling really really really sick with a migraine and Steve brought me home.  Spent the entire trip home focusing on not getting sick on the train that has fluorescent lighting and a screaming baby next to us.  It was horrible and why I haven't really had the chance to update.

Took these later that night walking home from dinner with the boy.

I love how they turned out!

Japan has the Liquor Castle beat that, Morgantown!!

Today (Monday), I have no class, so I slept in before getting up to clean.  I hung out my futon (we're supposed to hang them out for an hour every week) and did laundry.  Then Lauren & I went to Kinjo to meet Ai-chan, Nat-chan, Nau-chan & others for lunch, only Ai-chan gave us the wrong time and we were late. >.<   And our scholarship is not ready.  I really hope we get it soon.  Then I went back home and took a nap because it felt like my migraine was coming back.

At 5:20, however, we met Te-chan for dinner.  It was amazing and very very very fun!  Chef was SUPER NICE and decided to show us various aspects of traditional japanese cuisine.  We even at the head of a tempura fried shrimp!!!  It was actually good!!!
