Shibuya / Shin-Yokohama

I had an appointment to meet with KMda at Shibuya at the dog. It was raining pretty hard at this time. We went to go get some dinner at T.G.I. Fridays and get some drinks since it was happy hour. I ordered the Pasta Jumbalaya, I love that. It was ok, and kinda small, but it was ok. KMda can drink, and she drinks a lot. I had a drink too, but she really consumed a lot. Her face and head was all red, and she'd still order more. She's going to die young, I'm 100% sure. She couldn't even finish her order, 4 pieces of Fried Cheese Sticks. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

After that we met with her friend Aiko. She was a gymnastics instructor and very interested in Korean Culture. She wanted to practice English with me though. We ended up going to a Korean restaurant place called gyakaku. Or something like that. She ordered kind of a lot of food, it looked good, but I didn't have anything. Just drank water. We left a little later than we should have and I unfortunately missed the last train to get to my station. Which means I was stuck at the Shin-Yokohama station for the night. That was not a pleasant experience at all. I was lucky that I was there at 1am and the trains open at 5:30am. So it wasn't that much time that I had to kill, but there's no night life there, so it was pretty boring.

I killed most of time, just walking around the neighborhoods. Watching other people who had missed their trains. I studied Japanese a little because I had a newspaper. But it seemed as if time was going sooo slow. I can't believe that it took that long. I ended up getting 15 or so mosquito bites, and that really wasn't fun. My leg was all puffy and gross. I was lucky that I brought a Jacket otherwise I would have had a lot more. 5:30 arrived and I went back to my station and walked home. I took only a short nap
