Anybody wants a 250USD Steak?

Being sick has it´s benefits. It gives you a lot of time that you can use for searching the web for job positions. After a few minutes surfin around I found an American steakhouse restaurant that was about to open and they were looking for bartenders and waiters. A couple of days after I sent them my CV they called me and wanted me to come over for an interview. I can´t say that they were thrilled to hear about my inexperience in the restaurant business and that I was a student. But later the same week they called me up again and asked me to work the very next day. すごい! Sugoi! And after two days of working what can I say? A restaurant is not the easiest and most uncomplicated place to work in. Everything is done in a very specific way and it feels like it´s gonna take quite a while before I´m gonna feel comfortable.
Check out the restaurant.

So I guess I´m not a なまけもの (namakemono = lazy person) anymore.

Sick like a japanese dog

At the moment I´m stuck in Matsudo Guesthouse with a cold and fever. It all started last week. People began to act weird, complaining about feeling sick. From then the virus just kept spreading. At night I could hear people scream in agony. I locked myself in and haven´t slept since last weekend. When i tried to explain to my school why I wasn´t there they just called my crazy. CRAZY? Am I crazy just because I don´t wanna be eaten alive by zombies? I think they can hear me now, have to go...

By the way. Check out the not so new, but still new TV series Californication. But don´t download! It´s illegal!

Mendokusē

Updating this blog has been really mendokusē (how troublesome) lately but I´m gonna give it a try.
One of the few things I can remember doing the last weeks is visiting Disney Sea with a couple of Swedish people from my class. In the outskirts of Chiba (same prefecture as I live in) you can find Disney Land and Disney Sea located next to each other. The last one is supposed to be more of a place for older kids with fewer Disney characters running around trying to hump your leg. Going there on a weekday when we were off school, of course, (yea kids, stay in school and don´t do drugs) was the perfect thing to do. This way we didn´t have to spend hours waiting in lines for the mediocre rides offered at Disney Sea. Even though the rides were completely worthless the whole place were really beautiful so I spent time taking photos until my forefinger bled.

During our week-long holiday we also managed to get ourselves to Ageha, which is supposed to be the biggest club in Asia. And yea, it was pretty big. The main dance floor looked more like a football field. Maybe the people at Ageha heard the rumors about Swedish people where on their way so they decided to get a Swedish DJ to the club that exact date. Or maybe it was just a coincidence that Steve Angelo played there that night. We will never know...

Tokyo Gamu Showu

After a quite wet karaoke night we were on our way to Tokyo Game Show. As usual, it’s hard to get around in the complex train system, especially when you have a hangover. The good part is that you can practise your Japanese asking around for directions.
The Game Show was, like everything else in Japan, gigantic. You could walk around for hours watching the presentations of the newest videogames. My favourite part of the happening was to run around taking pictures of the many cos-players scattered around the enormous building. Seeing people dressed as Sid, Yuna and Sepheriot was like walking into a Final Fantasy game.

School is still quite hard but a nice one week holiday is coming up. Before that our school ordered us out in the deep Japanese jungle and made us climb up Takao Mountain. Not very interesting and it didn’t compensate the five hours we had to spend on trains getting there and home.

The weather in Tokyo is still quite warm. Looks like I’m going to run around in shorts until November. Yatta! やった!
