Hey gang,
So I`m 18 now whaaaaat
I can`t get my head around it
I went to Numazu City with my host family and went to the fireworks festival, which was awesome. I got to wear yukata, which is Japanese summer kimono, and I`ll upload a photo when I get the chance. :)
Then we ate in a pasta restaurant where we were served by a Romanian woman who also had her birthday that day so we all sang "Happy Birthday" in English, bemusing the Japanese people in the restaurant. And I got melon soda best day ever :D
The next day, I did something I haven`t done in thirteen years - went to the cinema to see Pokemon. I still remember going to see Pokemon The Movie 2000 when I was five years old, and going to see Pokemon ExtremeSpeed Genesect at the age of 18 was pretty nostalgic. I must say, Japan does cinema way better than we do. Upon buying my ticket, I was given a password to download Genesect for free into Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 (unfortunately, I don`t have either of those games) and was able to buy a bunch of Pokemon merchandise - I got a keyring with Pikachu, Eevee and the new Eeveelution, Sylveon (Nymphia in Japanese). Then, at the food stall, I was able to buy a big plastic Pokemon tub of popcorn, with a free Pokemon strap and Eevee phone charm. It was so coooool!
And the best part was, I was pretty much able to follow the film, despite it being all in Japanese, so I feel more confident with my Japanese speaking ability than before.
After that, we did some shopping, and I bought this kickass hat that I can`t find online but it says "HELLO my name is" like the stickers so it`s coooool
And then I got to eat MOS BURGER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Laters,
クイーヴァ
