Osaka shopping MO !!

Last week I had 2 vocabulary quizzes which went pretty good. My speaking test went well aswell; I got up one notch, to SP2F, Writing however... Down to 2A, but it´s all good, I don´t mind at all !
What else happened last week, well busy with classes at daytime, chilling out in the evening.

We have a MO group !! It all started with Jonas learning hiragana where the example of も was do you want some mo´ ? And then it all escalated to the mo ink and Mo-fia ;)
Mo, mo, mo , mo mo mo !! /kanye west Jesus walks.

My negotiation class went well, we learn many interesting stuff, it´s just to bad that

Friday was karaoke night, and there were sooo many people there that we almost suggested Otoosan to start a club and get entrance fees from guests :p
I booked a room at Big Wave thanks to Koshin and about 50 or so people headed for karaoke ! It was lots of fun. I spoke to a Japanese guy who is interested in going to Växjö university, yaaay !

Everybody was running in between rooms and mingling, the whole thing ended up with 2 people not paying for themselves, confusion. Poor Chin san was under pressure, but when we asked the 18-year-old, he was all smiles and said it is a fun job. MAJIDE ?!

Saturday, Aika and Hiroki had their graduation. I met up with Hiroki for lunch, he was still in a sort of a shock that I was actually in Japan :P We talked a lot, and his friend Masashi joined us as well, asking weird stuff ;)
Aika was very pretty in her dress, me, Madoka and Ayako made a surprise dinner, with 3 cake rolls, it was very delicious and Aika was very happy. The evening was spent watching a movie and just relaxing.
Sunday morning I headed to Hirakata station to meet up with Masaki, my homevisit partner, he took me to Nara; which was Tokyo´s former capital. We went to Nara park, where tame deers walked around and got fed. There was a buddhist museum which depicted the pilgrimage roads of the 33 buddhist trail temples. It was very interesting. There was a lot of rain pouring down, so it was good we got inside in time :) Afterwards I did some shopping and then we had dinner at an amazing Italian restaurant; Capricciosa. We had a set dinner; which consisted of a big bowl of Caesar salad, a bowl of pasta of choice, a big pizza and drinks. Total price about 2000 yen, roughly 100 SEK. Thank you Masaki !
After that I took the train(s) back all by myself, I am very proud of that ! You have to change 3 trains to get back to Hirakata so I memorized the way back.

Monday 22nd
Classes, came home and studied a bit, then me, Masayo and Alex went to Kappa sushi ! Kappa sushi had the whole Kaiten sushi concept and we had sushi and dessert for about 40 SEK each, and I was full by that time ;)
Headed back and saw 10000BC with Aika and Tomo kun, and after the movie we goofed around with Chikako and did some roleplay ^^. What is your best seductive posture ?

Thuesday 23rd
Holiday, which meant going to OSAKA !! Me, Jonas aka Kapibara san, David aka Chichai Bear san, Aika, Ayako, Imane, Luke and Chikako went to Namba and Shinsaibashi for shopping !!
I got a 1000 SEK Zara beige golden coloured trench which I am absolutely in love with ! I found matching pumps for about 200 SEK. I also got 2 cool tshirts; one at second hand hot spot Hanjiro, and a cool Ghostbusters at I love NY.
Lunch at the Zara building, amazing Chinese restaurant with a slightly different system of buffet. You basically ordered everything by pushing the button and the staff came running with the dishes. We actually wanted to go to Dessert Paradise, but it was full ( all you can eat cake !), and Brazilian all you can eat was closed for siesta.
David bought a tshirt at Bathing Ape, yup BAPE !!! The decor was somewhat odd, it looked like a shower room, and upstairs was more lounge comfy. I wanted to snap a photo of a shirt for Aidin, but I was denied because of copyright. We even went to the Evisu store, where they were just about to paint stripes on a new pair of denims ;)
David found the CA4LA hat store, so many wonderful, expensive hats, definitely have to get one ! He bought one of course !
We even saw the Nike id Store where you can design your own custom made sneaker.

The fashion here in Japan is very special: Girls usually wear high heals as in thigh high boots or pumps with shorts or skirts, and knitcaps who are really popular here. Another thing that is popular is Indian boots, fur vests, black vests with white longsleeve on boys and overalls ! And checked knitted prints. So there you go, outlook on upcoming trends !

Me and the Japanese girls finished the night at a café for some coffee and chatting and came back on the 10pm train.

Off to bed, class tomorrow !
Oyasumi !!! and OSAKA RULES !!
