Finally...Some Good Old-Fashioned Drankin'

So, I started work the other day...and so far it has been good. I am just going with the teacher I will be replacing to observe her classes and meet the students, and learn how the school runs. On some days I don't have to be in until late afternoon so, since we didn't leave for work until 3pm yesterday, I took a walk around the area I am staying right now (Higashi-Kanagawa). There is a really big temple about 5 minutes away, so I explored that.


After work was more exciting though. I met up with friends from the punk club I was in when I studied abroad. One of the guys invited me, but didn't tell the others, so when I showed up at they were super suprised and excited! They had also been drinking since 4pm, and I came a little after 8, so that could of been part of the reason they were so loud. It was really awesome though! It was so much fun to see them again (though there were some people that weren't there) and cool to go back to Hiyoshi again (I used to live nearby, so I know the area well).

The best part of the evening had to be when some of the guys decided to climb on top of the big silver ball in Hiyoshi station...

The things you can get away with when you are drunk in Japan...well done guys.
