Creamy Collons Anyone?

So this last weekend was quite eventful! On Friday night we decided to go into Osaka and see our friend Zack and his girlfriend Miyuki. It was a nice night full of nomihodai (all you can drink) and interesting conversation. However..... once we ended up at the last bar the nomihodai had caught up with me and I just wanted to go to bed (yes, I know... Im lame...). So what did I decide to do? Lay down on the couch in the bar and take a nap. Well, during that little snooze I knocked over my purse, spilling the contents all over the floor. I thought I had picked it all up, but when I got home later that night/early morning I realized I didn't have my keitai (cell phone)!!

Now, I feel very shameful for admitting that Im so reliant on this stupid piece of technology, but it has ALL my contact information in it... by losing your cell phone, you commit social suicide! Anyway, I was freaking out a bit, but figured that my friend would be nice enough to call the bar the next evening to see if they found anything. Turns out a friend of Zack's had seen it, figured it belonged to one of us and took it home. Then the next day, he called and reported it, so I ended up getting it back!!! Hooray!! Thank god im in Japan! I dont know if I would have gotten it back, had I been back in the States... or even Europe. In this respect I like the fact that people are so honest here. You could lose your wallet and still have a good chance at getting it back!

The next night we were getting together with Helen (another friend... Zack's ex) and a few other friends: Aaron, Tsukasa (his boyfriend), Vinh and Laura. We got some dinner and then went for karaoke and it was an overall blast! Helen, Aaron, and Tsukasa all came back to crash at our place where we played the game "Never have I ever..." and learned all sorts of interesting things about each other, hehehe....

Here are some pics from that night.


Aaron and I just being goofy.


Laura, Adam (just being himself...), and Vinh


The boys.... hehehe (Tsukasa, Vinh, Aaron)


Helen, me, Adam


And the best picture of the night! An excellent example of how funny Engrish can be!
