祭り

Went to a festival today with some friends and friends of friends. It took place at 佐賀神社 (Saga's Shinto Temple). It was good it was fun.
I talked to a random old guy who called out to me in English. Naturally I responded in Japanese. He was surprised by my height and asked if I do any sports.
I ate some meat from a little stand and played a shooting game with my buddy Shuuya. We both knocked prizes over but apparently that wasn't enough to actually win them. It was pretty much rigged to be impossible.
We threw money into a thingy and prayed to mystical spirits with some other Japanese people. We saw some cool flower arrangement and I learned that pigeon in Japanese is "hato".
It started to rain so we eventually headed home, at which point it rained more.

I was sitting at home doing a translation when I thought to myself, "Why am I so hungry?"
I soon realized that it was because I hadn't yet eaten dinner. Woops.
I fixed that in a hurry. For 505 yen.

Yaaay the week is over. The entire weekend is holidays too. No classes on Monday (not like I had class on Monday to begin with, but you get the point).
I have a lot of translating to do. We're having a kanji test every week in Japanese class and there's kanji left right and center in the readings I have to do for computer hardware. Weeeee.
