Today, we did our interviews, in which groups of two or three of us sat down with a Japanese student and interviewed them. This proved to be very difficult, and gave me impetus to strive to better learn the language. Anyways, we learned some interesting things. For example, the guy said that his favorite type of movie is American movies, and according to the girl, Johnny Depp is somewhat popular in Japan. Here's a group photo we took after the fact.
After that was over at around 3:00 a bunch of us went to a store in Nishi Funabashi. It would be best described as a very cramped (in terms of displays and goods) version of Target. I did some shopping, the results of which are shown below.
On the way back, we passed a Pachinko parlor which, oddly enough, had a church in one of the floors above it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteBut... but... Higashi Funabashi is pretty close to Baraki Nakayama! You can go visit him! Just take the Touzai line one stop over from Nigashi Funabashi on the Chuuou-Soubu line! And then take a left when you get out of the ticket gates and... and... okay, maybe not.
The height discrepancy between you and everyone in Japan is amusing. Has anyone commented on it?
I recognize that church/pachinko parlor! Is that the one that's visible from the train?
It's right next to the tracks
ReplyDeleteJeff. Take a different(read: less scary) picture of yourself with the game. And I apologize for not knowing anything about Pokemon and therefore being unable to appreciate the results of your shopping trip. But wait, that's your fault. You were supposed to teach me everything there is to know about Pokemon. Anyway, sounds fun. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI think the creepiness is multiplied by the neck beard.
ReplyDeleteI mean Nishi Funabashi! Nishi!
