I ended up at the Shukaisho once again. This time it was to hang out with the older folk from my town again. We ate sushi and other delicious goodies while sipping osake. My intentions were to stay for a little bit, but the sake made time dissapear. THe old guys were getting crazy to. All of use were sitting on tatami mats at the low table. At one point some drunk guy came to my side of the table a sat behind me and the pulled me closer so his legs were almost me. WTF. I pushed him away he came right back at me. He finally stayed away but it was an akward moment. I hung out with this one guy, whom I have forgotten his name. He worlks at city hall. He walked me home and i invited him and we drank and talked and watched The Empire Strikes Back because he was a Star Wars fan too.
That was Wednesday night on Thursday I tackled my one class at the junior high with a hangover. Everything went smooth. I again also helped out the regulalr English teacher and I think that I am starting to get along with some of the junior high students. Today was a great. I went to the Elementry school that is next door to my house. I don't really feel as welcomed at this school as I do at others. Oh well. I haven't been to this school in a few weeks and have forgotten that the kids are great too. Although I think that I like Kasamatsu Elementry school the best.
In Kasamtsu there is a big matsuri tomorrow. Should be a good time. I checked it out today and there was some biometric reader machine there that prints out stats about you. You jsut stand on this stand and the machine sends currents through you and detects if you are healthy or not. There was this older guy there. He only speaks fast Japanese to me and then laughs. Ok, later I walked by, he was sitting down, and he told me to stand up and started to pat the seat next to him. I looked at him funny and then just started telling him to sit down in Japanese, even though he was sitting down. He was just annoying me I guess. I hope he's not mad at me.
Tonight I am to go with the kyoto sensei to the cosmo park in Kawabe-cho. It is a smart guy and takes really cool pictures of things with his kick ass SLR Canon digital camera and likes science. It is suppose to be a cool park.
