吉祥寺

Today, since I didn't have school, I went to go hang out with Yu, who I haven't seen for nearly a year and a half or so. We met at Kichijoji, which was a little bit of a pain since it's far, but it turned out well. Roy came too, since they're around the same age and Roy wanted to make friends, I thought that'd be cool, and Yu invited one of his friends, Kenny, who's also around his age. It was weird being the only girl and the only one not fluent in Japanese, but I it was fun since I haven't really been able to hang out with any guys for a while.

Yu, Roy, and I walked around shopping for a bit while we waited for Kenny, who was finishing all of his job-hunting activities. First, we went to go play pool, which was funny since I'm really, really bad at it. I think the whole time, I only dropped one ball. XD Roy is really good, so his team always won, meaning that I won once. Hahaha.

Afterwards, we went to the park and walked around. It was really pretty, although I wish I could have been there when the cherry blossoms were blooming. That would have been really pretty. Yu and Roy pointed out some boats...they say if couples go on them, they'll break up. Go figure. Along the way, we stopped at the yakiniku place I went to with Yoko and Theo over summer.

Then we were off to eat dinner at an izakaya, which was just eating, talking, and good company. And last, we visited a pachinko place so Yu could try for 'beginner's luck'. No one won, and it was really noisy, but interesting since I didn't really understand how pachinko worked before. (There were these weird 冬のソナタ, or Winter Sonata...I forgot the Korean title, machines that were themed machines from the Korean drama. o_O) Roy and Yu are planning to drop by Sophia on Monday just for kicks. That should be interesting. XD It was a good night~.
