I've only been back in japan for a weekend and it feels like I never left. I saw Akira's face at the airport and fell madly in love with him all over again. I don't really know how its possible, because I never fell out of love with him. After we dropped my stuff of at his house we just went for a walk, and walked all the way to Namba, it was the most awsome thing ever he stopped me and just looked in my eyes and hugged me. we went to bed at like 7 in and woke up at 5pm and then he took me to a building by where he works that has a Ferris wheel in the roof and we rode that. then we got kinda drunk and went to be at 6am and had to be up at noon to head to shiga and visit with jessie. We got to her friends house and got drunk then walked for 30 minutes to get to the matsuri, on teh way we got stopped my the police who i guess were looking for illegal forigners, and guss who forgot their passport at teh apartment, yup me. they said to make sure i have it next time. it was hilarious because Akira was teh only Japanese one with us and he handed the police officer his ID and said in englsh "Sorry I'm Japanese" it was the funniest thing.
At omihachiman there were these huge ass heavy wodden floats being carriend through the streets and when it got dark every 10 minutes or so one would get lit on fire, it was awsome we got to help carry a float and then when it went up in flames everyone started dancing around it.
Roday i rode on teh michigan, they changed it a little show wise and i think it was better when i was there, but i got to see and shock a lot of people and they actually fed me a 60.00 meal for free so yay for free food!!!!.
tonight we are going to an irish pub in kyoto for st, patty's day.
more later.
