Week 3

Ahhhh it is hard to believe that I have already been here HALF A MONTH!!!!!

This was how the week went!

Tues---Bible study
then Tokyo Giants game against the Swallows.
We (the Giants) sorta lost... but Mark's son (Josiah aka YAYA...by the way Mark runs the Tokyo BEST club, the program I'm helping out in) caught a ball from one of the outfielders!! We were also sorta yelled at by the Swallow fans from rooting for the Giants mwahahha (yea baseball is serious here).
But it was a good time!!

Tues week 3 Tokyo Giants

Weds---lunch table...and some rest time!
Thurs was pretty similar, some good time with the room mates! Also! Went to Masashi's favorite cafe to chill and hang out (huge drinks!!). At night some of the girls (from our team) came by to surprise us with cookies!! It was really encouraging and nice of them to do that and we spent the rest of the night playing UNO and watching youtube videos!!

Week 3 Tokyo some random day

Friday/Saturday was busy and tiring (fun though)!
Met Seiji, MoHi, Kuri, and Kentaro (from left to right). and joked around...i think it was one of those few times that in Japan i actually represented the somewhat awkward side of me...and it was actually funny (yea normally I just look silly...period).

Then I went to the an elderly home for more English!
Most of it was talking about our lives... and in a humorous way EVERYTHING (which includes being single... and what we think about finding a wife here in Japan).

AT lunch table...
I tried to tell a joke

and they tried to also...

then ends with us playing some crazy awesome game of flicking the bottle and having it come back up!


ANYWAYS moving on!

Shaberanaito was fun! Getting to continue connecting with the students has been a blessing! I hope to continue speaking with them and to even build great friendships. We did a game called screaming ninja (kinda like Chimi Changa) and did an enlighs activity on online abbreviations (writing a "convo" out) then talked about 5 qualities to look for in marriage (disclaimer...in no way am I trying to bring up this topic... I'm just writing what we went through).

So after that!
Was Tsukiji!!
We went over the a place called Jonathan's (like a Denny's Diner) and just hung out throughout the whole night (many people passed out...so if you look at the photos of people sleeping, that's why). The fish market opens up at 4am. So went went over actually a little later to see them sell the big fishies and auction them in some crazy way. For breakfast I had Ken Sai Don--it's a fish bowl...so much raw fish...IT WAS AWESOME!!!

But we came back at like 10 am...I tried to stay up but then completely passed out at 3pm...

Friday week 3...Tsukiji!!

 




















The next day me and another setter (Dave) went with 2 students (Tetsu and Daisuke) to Sakuragicho and Yokohama. Looking at the old boats and some of the tallest buildings in Japan, we then went to a place called little Tokyo--a shop that only has music from 1883 and recreates that kind of atmosphere. From there we went over to YAKINIKU !!! and had some crazy barbecue food!)

Then we went to Tetsu's Starbucks and told funny stories!

Sunday Sakuragicho week 3 and Yokohama!

 







That's sorta it! Anything besides that includes chilling with the room mates, doing some reading, and helping Masashi with his homework on Firm growth, diversification and expansion.

oh and I just killed a mosquito right before it was about to enjoy the full course of it's meal...
