Some Nova teachers at Beer towers...

That means "I don't understand Japanese" at least i think it does...haha. So teaching kids is fun, it's pretty much just babysitting for 40 minutes, because we play games the whole time. They are so cute, well some of them are, others like to run wild through the hallways!
It's wierd to me how different wedding rings are here..1)Most guys don't even wear them and 2)there is NO bling, hahaha. They are all just a band with MAYBE a teeny, tiny diamond. I guess we Americans are just greedy snobs!
Sarah and i have the most random things happen to us in this country..the most recent was this past weekend while we were out shopping. I was looking at boots and this little old lady came up and pushed me out of the way! I put down the boots for a second to try on a different size and she snatched them up! I was so bummed, bc they were the ONLY ones in that size. She put them right on and paid for them while they were on her feet! Then Sarah was looking at a purse, she had it in her hand and the lady came up and grabbed it from her! When Sarah acted uninterested in it, she put it down, it was like she only wanted what we wanted. It was so wierd. I'm trying to keep this blog PG, so if you want to hear the MOST random thing we have seen in this country (and in our lives!) then email me. ;) (it's good, you don't wanna miss out)
Tonight is the 7th night of Hannukah, but thinking of that gets me a bit bummed. I love it here and have no desire to go home anytime soon, but it does make me a big sad not being home with the family for the holidays. Sarah and i went over to a friends house for dinner and had latkes, that was fun, and it felt a little like hannukah! haha. (She is one of the 2 Jewish people i have met)
We met some Americans on the navy base last week and we've been hanging out with them a bit. I went out in Roppongi the other night to a club called Vanilla. We went dancing and had a blast!! It was 1000 Yen ($10) to get in, but you got 2 free drinks. My friend Kellee and I went crazy, we had so much fun dancing. I had a dance off with a Japanese guy then afterwards he taught me some fun dance moves! We got there at midnight and stayed until 5am. You'd be amazed at how crowded the trains can get at 5am, since it's the first train!
