今はまってるドラマ

「電車男」。。。主人公がちょーダサイ男なんだけどなぜかはまってしまった。。。それは私もダサイからなんとなくrelateできるから?けっこう泣けるかも(∏A∏)



女の子のほうは美人だけどなんか惚けてるって感じ(笑)

まぁ皆さんも私がこのドラマを気に入った理由、見たら解ると思いますよ(`▽`)☆☆☆

二週間だけ日本に帰っています。

I've been in Japan for about six days now. I haven't posted anything yet, but I thought I'd start now... even though I'll only be here for another week.

Monday/Tuesday: My flight was around 1:20pm Monday from SFO. We ran into Dr. Thomas (Ema's dad) and found out he was on the same flight as my mom. My mom got bumped to Business Class because she knew one of the flight attendants on JAL. My brother and I flew United and were not so lucky... two hours before we landed in Japan, I felt very very sick because there was a lot of turbulence, probably caused by the typhoon which hit both Taiwan and Japan. We got to Narita around 3:30pm, and from there took a train and taxi to my grandparents in Chiba province. My sister, who was already there for two or three weeks, was sitting on the couch watching the womens volleyball match. I forced her up and made her come with me to 7 11, which is my sibling's and my favorite place to shop for snacks in Japan.



Wednesday: I went shopping with my sister and spent a lot of money... I don't usually spend money on things other than food, but when I come to Japan I spend... quite a large amount of money on things other than food. We had temaki sushi for dinner.

Thursday: Went to Nihonbashi in Tokyo province with my mom to a photography place to try on kimonos. In Japan, 20 is an important age, so they take pictures or something... I'm not sure, but my grandma and mom both wanted me to dress up in a kimono and take nice pictures... so Thursday I went in to choose my kimono and reserve a time next week to go in and take pictures. I am slightly excited because I haven't worn a kimono since I was about 10. I wear ukatas to festivals but never kimonos because they are expensive. I sat in a Women Only car on the train going there. It's to prevent pervy men from doing pervy things.



Friday: My Uncle took his wife, son, Toshi, and I to Saitama province by train. We went river rafting... sort of... it was a boat, but I don't know what its called... The scenery was very pretty, and it wasn't too hot. Later, we went on a steam engine, because my cousin loves steam engines and other trains. We got home and ate yakitori.

Saturday: My grandma, mother, and I went to Kanagawa province to see my great grandmother, who is in a nursing home. For the past three years she wouldn't know who I was (usually she knew who my siblings were, but for some reason she would forget me), but this year she seemed to know who I was. At the same time, someone was singing Sukiyaki, and I started tearing up. We had tea and had a light snack, and some gymasts were visiting the nursing home. We saw a gold medalist in the Athens olymics, and a silver medalist from the Beijing olympics. After we got home and ate dinner, my brother, sister, and I went to an Obon festival.
