Until about 6 pm, yesterday’s blog would have consisted of about two sentences, probably something along the lines of ‘Today we finished our Japanese class and listened to another set of lectures. There was a Canadian who told us about the Japanese and a guy from Japan who talked about their space program. The Canadian guy was funny, but the Japanese guy was not.’ Thank goodness we decided to have a beer after dinner, otherwise you would have been extremely bored.

So while drinking our beers, we started playing cards. A couple nights before, we wanted to play poker but we had nothing to bet for, and poker really isn’t interesting without even fake money to play with. Then Adina (or possibly Julie) had the brilliant idea of playing for Fire brand Milk and Beans. What could that possibly be, you ask? So did we. It looked like this:

and was in the same area of the fridge as juices and stuff, so it wasn’t alcoholic and probably edible. The loser of the card game had to drink it.

Unfortunately, it was just iced coffee. But that didn’t stop us from having a great time for the rest of the night…Will came over and talked us into walking to the beach with a bunch of other people. It was only supposed to take 20 minutes. Thirty minutes later, we decided that was a) not true and b) coming back was really going to suck because we had been walking downhill the entire time.

When we did finally get there, the ocean was gorgeous. The beach was pretty pebbly, as opposed to the beach near the Seo’s house which was nice and sandy. There was also a big rock sticking out of the ocean and a little peninsula (quick diversion here – I’m watching Japanese baseball and there’s something that sounds exactly like a bagpipe, perhaps as a cheer?) that was so picturesque. See how picturesque it was?

This is what happens when you choose the really low resolution setting on your digital camera.

Walking back 30 minutes uphill in wet clothes and flip flops was fun.
