Bank Account at Last
Today is the the only day I could meet up with Misato... it was Sports Festival Day with Osaka University. As I walk outside, I see tons of people on the field playing sports.
Geh!? Carp! I didn't take a picture!...oh well.
ANYWAY... the bank. Because of the festival, there were no classes, and Misato took all three of us students from SUNY to Musashi-sakai bank. She helped me make an accout and helped the other two exchange USD for yen.
I deposited all $3000 of travellers checks in the account. Now that I think back... I should have asked my dad how much I should have deposited...Well, I have an account in America and one in Japan now.
After the bank, they went shopping for rugs and I ate lunch with Misato.
I was asking Misato about blowing your nose in Japan. Apparently some people find it rude, some don't. Also, quickly and quietly blowing your nose to the side is ok too. Japan is freaky about some things... There are some things that you normally do in America that you just have to be conscience of in Japan.
Yeah... leave me alone with a girl for lunch and I make conversations about blowing noses. I just realized that. Darn I'm smooth. Not.
Seriously, we talk a lot about vocabulary and stuff and compare cultures. The nose thing was the only silly thing I asked her today.
After all this... confusion happened. Next stop was... Asakusa was it? I dunno. I ran into Robyn, a dude from Canada. I was talking to him about where we were going, and the train flew by. Oops.
Who's up for some Musashi-Sakai and restaraunt photos?






In an answer to my last blog, check out one of my nutrition answers... look at all those vitamins!
Also, check out that praying Mantis! Awesome, eh?
Also! Today's ENGRISH!!!

And of course, today's movie.
Anyone ever hear about the Japanese manga and now anime Death Note? A bored student finds a book that if he write's someone's name in... they die. He starts killing criminals and the world's smartest detetive goes after him. Once again, I give a horrible explanation, but its really interesting. Just check it out on youtube.
Remember that stack of manga I bought at Kikijouji? I've been trying to read Full Metal Alchemist volume 8 in Japanese. It's hard! I'm trying to figure out what everyone means when they talk... lotsa speech variations I haven't learned in a textbook yet. I decided to buy the Japanese 8 because I read the first 7 at home in America. I have to learn a lot more Japanese speech before I can read it. Lots of plain form and plain form varaitions everywhere...
Oh... anyone who is a fan of the Nintendo DS game Pheonix Wright, which I am thinking of picking up, can try out this. Have fun! Hehe.

Yes. It was real. Bigger than my fist. It was kinda cool though.
I heard they are illegal to kill. They are an endangered species.
Also, ever check out Engrish.com? What as on that napkin was one of many instances where a Japanese person ran a sentance through an automatic translator and considered it ok to put on the product. This is Engrish.
Here is an example of Engrish... I ran your comment through a Japanese translator and back again. Here's what it looks like now:
