Sake

Yes that's right, I said sake...
The school hosting a sake tasting party at one of the local clubs in Roppongi which is very much a geijin (foreigner in Japanese) place where the only thing to do is spend a lot of money and go to bars so I've only been there once...
So, sake party... I went with the people from my dorm and we had a blast! Of course I don't drink and they wouldn't let me anyway because you have to be 20 to drink here. They had a guy come that is the worlds leading specialist on sake and he's not Japanese. I know crazy.
They also had some traditional Japanese music called a shamisen. It's a stringed instrument. The pictures didn't come out and I haven't figured out how to upload video to this yet so that's under construction for now. But the guy was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
They also had a group from school that does traditional Japanese dance and then a hip hop/reggae/rap DJ from Zulu Nation played some music for us. No one was dancing so Jae and my friend Tori decided to dance on a table. It was good times, good times...
On the left is my roommate, Jae and on the right is Tori. They were doing some pretty awesome dancing and I had to get a picture.

After the party we were hungry so we went to 7-11 and bought dinner. (I told you, you can do anything at 7-11.) And then we went and sat in a thing that is supposedly a water park during the day and ate.


This is Tori with her Koala no Machi in the water park. If you have never had nor seen the Koala no Machi you have been seriously deprived. These are the best snacks in the world! Little koala shaped biscuits filled with chocolate with little pictures of koalas doing random things on them. It doesn't get much better then that...

Then we made our way home and had a good night's rest after partying like crazy college students. That was a fun day and I really enjoyed it. Maybe the college life isn't so bad after all...
