Kanazawa Time
Sorry I haven’t updated lately. Don't know if I metioned this earlier, but I’m talking the JLPT N3 (Japanese language proficiency test) and have been busy studying for that… along with other everyday stuff. This will just be a short post.
Yesterday, Helle, me, and a few other exchange students went to see Harry Potter 7 (part 1). I thought it was actually pretty well done, though that could be because I don't really remember the book :P.
Helle and I dressed up as PIKACHUS!!! We ended up changing in the movie theater washroom (we were worried they wouldn't let us in if we were dressed up as pikachus when buying the tickets). Coming out of the bathroom stall, I think we kinda scared the couple girls in there. A gaijin lady also walked in, and just laughed at us (but in a good way).
There wasn't that many ppl in the theater, since it was kinda early and the movie was in English, so it wasn't that weird. However walking out of the movie after, and through the mall… well it was quite amusing to see everyones expressions :P.
We hung out at the eki (station) for a bit, and took pictures. A big group of Japanese ppl (I think they were tourists) came up to us and asked to take a picture with us!! It was awesome. Also all the little kids kept looking/ pointing and yelling pikachu. IT was so cute!! Half the people who walked by looked at us like we were so cute, and the other half gave us the “WTF?! Crazy gaijin” look ;). There also a couple guys who took a video of us walking by, hehe.
We went to take purikura, and played a couple games at the arcade such as air hockey and some shooting game. Got even weirder looks, but it was a lot of fun.
I had to take the bus home, and ended up not having enough time to change, so I took the bus home dressed as pikachu… which was a bit awkward since I was alone :P.
Walking home after getting of the bus, some random tourists took a picture with me. It was quite a shock to my host family, when a human sized pikachu walked through their door, mwahaha.
Have the JLPT on the 5th. So not ready…. Wish me luck >.<
