Japan 4/13 (actual time unknown)
Aug. 15th, 2007 10:00 pmWriting in my brand-new Japanese notebook - yay! Unfortunately I've spent way too much money and I'm essentially out of cash, and Japanese ATMs seem to be ちょう [very] picky about what cards they take. This especially sucks because Matt wanted me to buy him Spitz CDs at a used books (etc.) store, but the one two blocks from this hotel where I bought my manga only takes 現金 [cash]. Seriously, though, I have about 750円 (Yen) left. Not good. At least if I can't get any more cash I'll be guaranteed to have enough money for my 電子辞書 [electronic dictionary] when I get back. Plus, I already bought my おみやげ [souvenirs] and お中元(まっ茶カステラ) [summer gift (matcha castella): unfortunately the matcha castella got kind of beaten up in my luggage, so it's gonna be kind of a lame summer gift], and I have a nice set of postcards, too. It's not going to be fun lugging all this shit around, though.
おぼん [the Bon Festival] is... loud. And monotonous. Also interesting and pretty, but once is enough. I would like to reasearch more about it when I get home, though.
I'm tired. Bed now, more later.
