We went to the Takarazuka Revue! (Psst... if you don't know what Takarazuka is, clicky the linky plz)

We had been warned before we went that a.) the audience was all middle-aged women and b.) we'd get stared at and c.) the ( Read more... )

Soooo today was uber expensive too. Not *quite* as expensive as yesterday, but still. Today was the Quest for the Pretty Boys (a.k.a. Johnny's stores) of Osaka. The questors were myself, Liz, Alita, Sydney, and shirosagi, who I randomly met through LJ and realized Hey! She goes to Kansai Gaidai, too! And we even have a class together, which it took me ( Read more... )

So midterms are going to pwn us hardcore, but I guess that can't really be helped. But, more importantly, we know when we're going to Tokyo and where. In theory. I just booked the hostel for a couple of nights on the phone (IN JAPANESE) and failed at life, but whatever. We (might) have a room, and then Liz booked a hotel for the last night ( Read more... )
