Normal Day

Today was kind of normal.  I didn't even take any pictures.  For that I apologize, and instead I will offer some thoughts.

First of all, today one of the employees was hungry when she got to the cafe, so she ate with us for a bit.  My host mom was telling me how she is very popular around the cafe because she's friendly and stuff, "and cute, right?"  Keep in mind she was sitting right there.  It's a bit awkward if you're from America and agree with that kind of statement, because in America that's not really something you say in front of whoever you're talking about.

Second of all, my host family is best friends with a nice older couple that was impressed with my Japanese.  The husband also happens to be a high-ranking employee at Animate, one of Japan's largest retailers of anime things. He offered to get me anything I wanted from there for free.  I did the Japanese thing and politely declined, because I would feel SO BAD.

So yeah.  Tomorrow is Tokyo and stuff.

    That's pretty damn cool if you ask me.

    1. I was SO EXCITED and hated to turn his offer down, but it's still around if I ever really need it.
