Debbie Schillinger: the oddest thing i have seen so far is teenage school girls in uniforms wearung playboy bunny socks and an 8-floor gothic wear department. One of the most fustrating things that happened to me was when i stopped to talk to a japanese girl to obtain a sample of hand lotion from her that we needed for a scavenger hunt. she spoke no english no understood any. I pointed to the lotion in her hand and then to mine but i still couldn:t get any lotion. i couldn[t think of anything to say to her except english and spanish running through my mind. i finally said sensei and game and pointed to the lotion. when she heard me say game she backed up in shock and shook her head and said, no game! So i left feeling fustrated about not being able to understand someone and them not being able to understqand me.

ok so here i am at an internet cafe in shinjuku having some great iced tea and chilling with my class mates. Japan has been crazy fun. Probably the funniest things so far that i have noticed is that the words and phrases i have used the most are, Wow, where the heck am i (at least when i adventure out on my own and finally thats dangerous. Its really been a lot of fun but i just wish we had internet closer to the place we are staying. We found good net cafe and so i will upload some pictures soon, i will also post more stories once i get my friends to write them. Also please excuse if i have any bad spelling or punctuation in that this keyboard has the letters almost warn off and the keys are just different enought to cause problems.
