Downtown Niigata

Once again woke up early. Had breakfast, it was good. Salad and bread. It's weird to eat that because it keeps making me hungry. Even after we just ate. We then waited ahile till MS's mother came home to drop us off at the train station. We then took a trip to Bandai, or the downtown area. It was quite hot and we needed to walk around to a lot of places.

We basically went shopping for her host mother's gift. We were looking for a nice purse that MSto had, but her host mother wanted. Because she got it as a gift from her friend, we needed to go find it. We couldn't but we found some other purses that were similar. We then stopped and ate Mister Donut for a long while. She ordered a Green Tea Shake for me. It wasn't too bad, but I'm not a fan of green tea. We ate 3 donuts each. Which was kinda a lot because we just had lunch too. We stayed there and talked for a few hours. We were waiting for her friend to call, but she never did. I only had a chance to meet her the time for the fireworks, and that was it. We then went to the Alta, which is the tall shopping center of Niigata downtown. We shopped around a little more till MSto's Mother came to pick us up.

After that we went home and had dinner. I was getting ready to leave the next day. But it's weird because we would get in the habit of watching Korean drama at night from 11pm to 1am. Her mother kept on dozing off. It was funny to see. But the drama right now is really popular. Well among middle-aged women. I've been told that it reminds them of an old Japanese drama. That's why it's been popular as well. There is a huge movement of Koreanism here in Japan and it's starting from the guy in all the sony ads, and the hotel drama. I haven't seen it at this point, but we'll see. The korean drama I'm watching here is actually pretty interesting.
