Sorry I haven't updated lately. Truth is...life really has been boring and there wasn't much to report. But that has changed! Mid-Year Conference came and some magic was made!
I finally got some dancing in. OMG, it was glorious. They played a dance remix of "Seasons of Love." The words "cups of coffee" never sounded so good to me. lol
I also met a new friend. His name is James and he'd from York, England. His accent is really strong so it's kinda hard to understand him sometimes. I think he likes X-Men movies.
Anyways, Bev, Zof, James and I went out for tea. It was brilliant. My first tea, which included my first scone. Did you know a scone is like a bisquit? We had a huge heated argument with this.
They told me not to compare that tea experience to a true English one. It was very Japanesey...for one, the sandwhiches were rolled up like cigars instead of cut into squares. lol
I went to a beer bar where they had over 200 beers. It was a lot more enjoyable than I thought. The bar tender and his "girl friend" just got back from vacationing in California, which included a stop in San Diego and Tijuana. So we talked about San Diego, and they even knew the lingo! PB, OB, and TJ. The owner grew up in Hollywood, so it was fun talking about California with him.
My last half of my Sapporo trip included some sight seeing and lots of shopping. I got to see the Christmas lights at Odori Park. I spent the night at Jessica's apartment and had a blast. She took me out to an awesome Indian restaurant and my first Purikura. Apparently to do purikura, you just push a bunch of buttons until the photos pop out. And afterwards you feel like a super star cause you just did a photo shoot. AH! That was awesome.
