Soccer Tournament thing...

So These last couple days have been competitions for all the clubs. Thursday and Friday we got of early.
Thursday was the soccer tournament thing, but since the girls don't compete we just went to cheer the guys club on. So all 30 or so of us piled on to a mini bus and drove about 2 hours to Noto. However, on the way, the bus broke down on a bridge, and every time the teacher/coach tried to start the engined it won't go and we'd roll back a little X\. It eventually started working again, so we were only a little late.

We ended up going to this Aviation Academy (plane school) which was pretty cool. I felt a little awkward because I stood out and everyone kept staring where ever I went. Plus it was pretty much all guys XD. Like, I went to the bathroom with a friend, and we passed the baseball club. They were standing in this huge group and started calling kawaii and whatnot. When we came out, there were a couple of them standing there... but I just smiled and waved like normal. My japanese is still not good enough to keep up a conversation >.<

My school was the last team to compete. I kinda got the feeling we were the"underdog" so to say, because we have less players than everyone else, no 3rd years, and everyone else had really nice uniforms and brand stuff (puma, Nike, Adidas, etc). Anyway, my school lost 5-0 :(.

We got back kinda late, and I had left my school uniform in my classroom because I didn't want to carry it all day (were wore our gym/club clothes). Unfortunately, no one was there and the school was locked >.<. Luckily I have a spare blouse and I just wore my summer uniform skirt the next day.


Today, since school ended early and I had no club, my host sis and I went to MacDonalds. I had a Teriyaki burger (it made me sick feeling after >.<). There were a whole bunch of students there. Since make up isn't allowed at school, most of the school girls were sitting there putting on their fake eyelashes, contacts, makeup, etc. They seem to get really dressed up after school, but they still wear their school uniform because they think it's cute.

Lanterns at night

After we went and did Purikura! So much fun! After, I went to Japanese lessons and then Helle came over for supper and we went to this event (It's to commence the festival this weekend) where they put a whole bunch of paper lanterns (mostly made by kids) on the Asano River and they float down from one bridge to the end at the next bridge.

They were all collected at one end of the river

Tomorrow is the Hyaku Man Goku Festival, the biggest one in Ishikawa. Looking forward to it!
