Ok so guess what, my specially shipped adapter arrived yesterday so I write to you now from my room instead of the computer room downstairs.

So anyway yesterday was a really long day, it all started when Julia and Magnus wanted to go to Ikea because they are Swedish and they were craving their national food. So they asked one of the buddies, Junko, if she wanted to show them how to get there because Junko is obsessed with Sweden lol. Then it turned into a big trip to Osaka for everyone lol.

So I got up begrudgingly at 9 oclock to go and get ready. Today was "Respect for the aged day" so Mr and Mrs Morita's grandchildren were over visiting them.....they are super cute. Something about Japanese old people and children is just so cute i dont know. So anyway we bused and trained our way to Osaka and then went and had lunch. I couldn't go to Osaka without eating takoyaki which are octopus balls, very nice. We ate at one of the most famous takoyaki places apparently.

After that the Swedes wanted to go to Ikea so I stayed with Jocelyn, Joelle, Gavin, Yeji and Jeong Joo to check out the city a bit. Man it was so crowded, it was rediculous. Jocelyn went to go have her hair cut so I looked around the shops by myself a bit. When she was done we went to all these shops and to starbucks to have a drink lol. Oh and we also took some sticker photos sigh

After a few hours we met up with the rest of the gang and headed home. So yea i realise now it doesnt seem like I did very much haha, but year we didnt get back until about 10 and it was a good day overall.

Photos are on facebook if you havent seen already
