Natalie has a cool haircut...

...and we followed a cute guy down the street after eating at Mos Burger (yum)!

It wasn't creepy though because he was going in the same direction we were, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

So today was the first day of classes after Golden Week. Luckily it was a Wednesday, which means that I only had Japanese class today and nothing else. And because the Shorinji Kempo Taikai was this past weekend as well as the welcoming camp, we didn't have any practice today. Yay! And no G-splash practice either. All in all a pretty free day and a fairly non-stressful one.... or so I thought.

After Japanese Mia and I got lunch and then we went to get gelato for ¥100 or roughly a dollar. It was amazing; I got mango, chocolate and coffee nuts. I wanted to take a picture but that probably would have been totes inappropes. Le sigh. After that delicious break, Mia and I returned to the library intent on doing some work. She did some, but I did see her fall asleep for a good bit. And I got all my Japanese homework done, but then I started to stress about my anthro work.

Remember the one where I have to write an ethnography. well it was giving me some major problems. I didn't have any contacts and I didn't know where to start. See, a lot of gay bars in Shinjuku, the hub of the Tokyo gay scene, don't let in women or foreigners and I'm both. So I was really desperate to find a way in. But luckily, Greg's friend Jonas has a friend named Karsten who happens to be gay and a regular at some of these bars so next week he's taking me to one. Exciting, going to a bar for homework. Only in Japan.... Or maybe not. :-/
