Settling Down

[twissie]

I guess I'm slowly working myself into some sort of daily routine here, but everything still feels a little up in the air in a way.

I'm currently looking for a more permanent housing situation as the Sakura House, while extremely conveniently placed for touristing purposes, is a little shabby and too expensive for the condition it's in. I am

I love the way the trees bow into the water, like someone sticking their fingertips into the water to feel the current.

Cosplay Karaoke? Wow, just when you think karaoke can't get any more embarrassing lol! I'd totally do it but there would have to be many adult beverages.

It's raining here in Maryland too. Not very motivating weather.

Good luck with the house viewing. Hope you have the appropriate outfit on :)

Yes! And walking underneath them, it's like you're in a tunnel of flowers. It's beautiful!

Haha, do you have karaoke box is the US or just karaoke bars? At karaoke in Japan you get a private room for your party (karaoke places are huge buildings, usually several floors of smaller rooms in various sizes, every party gets their own room - you pay per person per hour/30 minutes usually). It's a really fun way to hang out! It's nothing like the karaoke experiences I've had in Norway. I would never dress up and go on stage at a karaoke bar.

Thanks! I'm sure it'll be okay. Thankfully (???) foreigners are excused for many "mistakes" since we're... foreigners. Heh.

I've only ever heard of karaoke in the US being done in bars, so I'm not sure if there are any other options! I'm far too shy to do something like that, I tend to host Rock Band parties at my home though, which is kind of the same thing as a private room LOL! I love the idea of renting the room though (and that really makes that scene in the movie 'Lost in Translation' make a bit more sense, I wondered why their karaoke space was so cozy and why she was wearing a wig!)
