What can you get for $2

HEY HEY
moving houses today
heard the next house doesn't have a computer (which I think is weird because this is Japan. They have so much damn technology stuff everywhere you might as well be living in CYBERLAND)
So, I might not be able to update for a little while, or if I do, not with pictures. However, if it turns out that the family does have a computer, this will all seem very silly.

Anyway. To see me off to the next family, my current family, the Hashimotos, took me out to dinner at a nice restaurant. We ended up having Korean food because I really wanted to have some spicy food. I still find it really odd that they don't have spicy stuff over here. I mean, Americans don't really have much spicy American food but at least we have hot sauce and Mexican (kind of) food. The food was delish and I probably ate too much because I am still pretty full from it (it's about lunch time now, next day).

But that might be because I didn't just eat a lot there, but pretty much the entire day yesterday was centered around food. After Kendo practice, I headed up to the college where they were having their bi-annual $2 festival, where nothing was $2. Seriously. Everything I bought was either around a dollar, or closer to three. I don't even know why they call it a $2 festival, they don't even use dollars over here.

Since I am the "new guy" over here at school, everyone at all the booths were pulling me around being all "EAT OUR FOOD". Each group of students from the same country would make something to sell that was from their country; The Brazillians made some meat pocket things, the Filipinos made some chicken and pineapple thing (DELICIOUS), the Koreans had noodles, the Taiwanese had Bubble Tea, the Mongolians had onion pancakes (better than it sounds) and the Thai made jelly with fruit and corn ( ): ). I had all of those things and I really wish I didn't. But there was no avoiding it because, as I said, everyone was dragging me around shoving food in my face.

But the festival had more than just food, it also had music! College band music, none of which I think was original. First there was a band with a girl singer who couldn't sing in tune and three guitarists with one guitar line. Added bonus; the guitarists couldn't play in time, and neither could the drummer. Then there was another band with a bassist who could barely hold a line, another out of time drummer, a stumbling soloist for the guitar part and yet another singer who couldn't sing. Finally, there was a band that had "Pirates of the Caribbean" for walk-on music and a singer in a cowboy hat (cue "you're doing it wrong" photo) who introduced himself as Jack Sparrow. All the bands reminded me of a lame little brother who wants so desperately to be rad, so they try to copy their older brother in everything they do, but only end up being a walking parody of their idol. Kind of mean, but seriously, they were pretty bad. I think 29 Degrees would have definitely stolen the show if they had performed.
And they would have had better singers too
No joke.
