The weekend in Hiroshima was a bit of a mixed bag in the end. Friday night was hella fun. Went out to an all-you-can eat n drink do for my friend who has recently returned to Japan. It was yakiniku, which means you sit in front of a grill with plates of raw meat. It is fun, but the trouble is that it generally takes longer for the food to cook than for you to drink anything that is placed in front of you. As a result of this imbalance I ended up having what could be described without too much exaggeration as a liquid dinner. For 2 hours we drank beer and burnt meat, after we left the restaurant I didn't have another drink all night but still managed to feel quite tipsy at 10:45AM the next morning as I was leaving my internet cafe accommodation. There was a fair amount of karaoke singing at Gs bar, and from what I recall - none of it was too tuneful. Actually after 6 hours worth of snooze in the internet cafe I was feeling quite a lot perkier than I rightfully should have. My friend and I met up for lunch and went round to where he was crashing and watched some TV. Nice.
Seriously, watching TV in English is like a treat equivalent to going to the drive-in at home. And we were sitting on a lounge!! Such luxury. Saturday night off to a mate's place for dinner and movie watching. Saw V for Vendetta, a top film. I really enjoyed it, made me think about a few things, although I don't think it was the things I was supposed to be thinking about. How is it that Natalie Portman can be so gorgeous even with a bald head? Not fair. And also this; no one should worry about who left the fridge door open, who didn't change the toilet roll, whose turn it is to clean the bathroom, just be nice to each other because before you know it you could be sitting in a cell, bald, starving, freezing and awaiting your next torture session (and you won't look as lovely as Natalie while you're doing it either, trust me). So just be nice to each other. That's all.
Sunday I did some excitement shopping for a backpack for my wee holiday. Wandered around with my Japanese friend for a while. Had lot of trouble speaking in Japanese becauseI was so sleepy and I imagine she was quite annoyed with me. Got on the train home at about 3 and when I got home there were 2 undelievered parcel notice waiting for me! Yay!! One will be my visa I reckon and the other could be chocolate! Oh yeah. Oh yeah. What a tops way to end the weekend. Now I just need sleep...
