Today was a restful day. I woke up around 10am ish and pretty much just hung out until around 5. At 5, me and a few other guys went out to an arcade a couple of blocks away. It took us about 30 minutes to get there, and it was raining so it seemed longer. While we were there, I noticed a lot of guys wearing man-pris (capris for men). I took a picture of this one guy wearing his man-pris and my flash goes off, then all of a sudden this guy taps me on the shoulder and asks me if I asked for permission to take that other guys picture. I told him no, and he gave me a short lecture on how I have to ask people for their permission if I want to take their picture. I honestly didn't know that so I told him I was sorry. Once he went back to his videogame that he was intensely playing, I pulled out my camera again and took a picture of the guy who lectured me. This time, I turned my flash off. I'm such a rebel. After this fiasco, I walked around the arcade to see if there were any cute stuffed animals that I could win. While I was walking, I noticed that every person playing a videogame was extremely good. I then began to wonder how much money and time they spent at this arcade. Then I wondered how many of these guys were single.
After an hour or two of hanging out at the arcade, we went to this ramen place where they serve very thick ramen broth. It was so delicious because it had some garlic in it which made it so good! That bowl of ramen was the best thing i've had so far on this trip, so I plan on eating there again very soon. After eating, we headed back to the house, where everyone else continued to do exactly the same thing as when we left, absolutely nothing. Tomorrow we're going to a Japanese church, so I'm very excited to experience that!

Shawn,
ReplyDeleteI was not able to share that in 1975, I was in Kyoto and went to Kiyomizu
temple, but did not take the tour you did. I don't know if I went up anothersteep hill before I got there but there were a lot of shops which sold pottery and tea sets. Kiyomizu is known for the blue dishes and blue pottery. I bought my wife a tea set there. It reminded me of the scripture passage about us being molded by the hand of God. The temple we wentto was on stilts overlooking a deep canyon. It was beautiful from up above. Did not have a link to get to you, but have
been praying for you. Carl

ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about your parents. Have you been able to keep
in contact with them? How are they doing? Carl
