Last night, Jen and I bolted from work to go to Takatsuki for Luke's going away party. He's having another one next weekend for friends, but this one was not only a school event with students, it was also a welcome party for the new teacher! He's a nice guy. We stayed out pretty late, dancing and drinking with Lamika's students! I had a blast.
Today, Jen and I went window shopping, and then went to see "Fast and Furious 4". It was pretty ridiculous, I laughed out loud a lot (keep in mind, this movie isn't a comedy). The best part was about halfway through, when I leaned over to Jen, and asked "So how long until they go to Tokyo? This movie is almost halfway over and they're not even in Japan".
Apparently, I was thinking of F&F 3: Tokyo Drift. Whoops....
Anyways, movies are quite an experience in Japan. The ticket costs 1200 yen, and that was a good price. The concessions though.... AMAZING. Cheap beer, great popcorn, and it cost less than my ticket. The seats are large and plush, and you choose your seat when you buy your ticket. Great.
I finished work on Friday, and spent Saturday cleaning and packing. Shipped my things to Takatsuki, then went out for dinner with a few teachers from Myodani school.
