a fun packed weekend :D

dorm room post dinner - Yesterday was super cold and rainy all day long!!! XD I loved it!!! I went to see Phantom of the Opera with all the IES students. It was a really good performance. I know the story so even though the words were hard to follow in Japanese I still basically knew what was going on. After the musical I went to a department store in search of a gift for a friend. While there I stubbled upon a fashion show going on there in the store. I had never seen a fashion show in real life before so I stopped and watched and took some pictures. Then I looked around the store but didn't really find what I was looking for. I had to get to work by that point. I spent the rest of the evening at work and on the way home went to the grocery store.

Today I went to Yatomi which is another city in Aichi prefecture (Nagoya is the capitol of Aichi). It was the first time I had been there and the first time riding the kintetsu rail line. I also bought a drink out of a Japanese vending machine for the first time! I went with three other people from my job and we helped out with an English school halloween party. Our boss has connections to the school and was there too helping out. We helped judge a costume contest and helped give out treats and prizes. It was fun but a bit tiring. The pay was worth it though. I got 15,000 yen for about four hours work. :D When I got back to my dorm room I napped. Then I messed around online. Then I did homework and now I think I will go to sleep. It was a really fun weekend. I just wish I could have gotten more work done for classes... Can't have everything I guess.
