More rumble...

Yesterday was supposed to be my big study day. That changed when a japanese student who is living in the same hotel as we do, invited us all to his university. His class and some others were having a party to celebrate... well, I don't really remember what it was, but it was some sort of accomplishment they had achieved. So anyway, we gathered up a bunch of people and went there. On the way, me and Raphael (a french student) dropped by a convenience store on the to pick up some beer for the party since we were kinda late (I love how availbale everything is, regardless of the hour!). Easier said than done... you see, when japanese people like something, they usually start messing around with it until there are tonnes and heaps of different variations of that particular item. This time, it was beer. Japanese people love beer, and I stood confused for a few minutes trying to decide if I wanted a citrus or tomato(!?!) flavoured beverage.

The party was situated on the university roof, which needless to say, was pure awesomenessseses! Apparently, the japanese student's classmates knew that he was living in a dorm with gaijins (foreigners) and wanted him to bring us along. I met some really cool people there, and exchanged a few email addresses for future meetings. The swedes and danes were of particular interest to them, and they like... gathered up in a circle around each of us and asked a billion questions. They were really surprised and excited about the fact that I liked japanese film and anime, and each time you replied something in japanese (like a few words) they were all like "SUGOOI!!" (awesome).

I also met the coolest nerd ever. When the japanese law students asked me what anime I liked I listed a few favourites, and when I got to "Code Geass" some guy with way too many teeth and tucked-up pants shouted out "AAAH SUGOOI, KODO GIASU SUKI DESU!! RERUSHUU RANPERUUSHU! NI BURITANNIA!" which made my day right there.

Then I talked to some south-korean exchange students about Kim Jong Ill, then discussed Beethoven with a girl who played the flute and cello in the univerity orchestra, and later on mingled with the french people.

When we got to the drunken state, we realized that we had school 8:50 in the morning, and that we should get back to the residence. Yep, first time I've partied on a school night, but it was one of the best parties I've been to in a long while. I'm sorry for the lack of pictures, but I didn't bring my camera to the party =(

Now I have to get going to City Hall here in Matsudo and get my alien registration card! (Gaijin Kaado)
