When Blogs Attack

Well so here we are. Another blog post. Well today I don't have too much to say. Last night we celebrated someone's birthday. I bought a game called Jump Ultimate Stars, which is like Super Smash Bros with manga characters. It's pretty cool, but I'm gonna have to learn a lot more Japanese to be able to play it.

Anyway so my real motivation in this blog post is to introduce a whole brand new second never seen before, at least in this blog. I'm of course talking about “Misadventures with Joe.” In this section, I will talk about some sort of thing I did that ended up going horrible wrong (or just wrong and I had to spice it up a bit). So this time in Misadventures with Joe, I went to Mito Eki (eki means station in Japanese) with another International student. So we go there by the 23 bus, the only bus I know goes to the station. So we go clothes shopping, , which is really expensive in Japan, and then we went to the toys and games store so I could look at the used DS games. So my friend goes to get a stuffed animal for this girl at a bar we frequent. When he gets back we decide it's time to go because we have nothing else we want and we're not sure when the bus stops running.

So we get to the bus stop and realize we just missed the 23 back to the dorm, but we notice another one is coming in like 30 minutes so we check out another shop and come back. Then we wait....and wait...till we realize that it was a holiday, and the last bus had left over an hour ago panicked, scared we don't know what to do. We don't know if another bus will take us back towards the university. We're not sure if we can walk. A taxi just seems too expensive. Then my fellow adventure thinks he remembers that the 1 and 11 go close to the school also. I wasn't as sure about that though. Also even if it did, we wouldn't know which stop to get off at. That's when my fellow adventurer had a epiphany. He had read the manual they gave us for Japan, and he knew it said which bus go by the school. Luckily I had decided to bring my bag, and I had it with me. We found out that the 11 and 1 did in fact go by the school, so we hoped on the next bus, which happened to be the 11 and bolted towards school, unsure where to get off.

Now here we are. Riding the bus. Nothing looks familiar. People get on and off. We still we don't see anything familiar. Then finally my fellow adventurer recognizes some scenery and hears the bus recorded audio call out the stop for Tokiwa Daigaku, so he presses the button to get off. When the bus stops I now know where we are because we walked by one of the restaurants on our way back from karaoke. My fellow adventurer tries to lead the way back to school, but he starts off going the wrong way. Luckily I have a good memory for places so I take the lead of the party and march us right up to the school gates. Usually the gates are closed at this time, but today for some reason they're open, so we were able to take the short way back to the dorms. We both managed to make it back in one or more pieces.

Well that's pretty much it so I'll probably be going now. Watch out for the next attack.
