5th may

Today was pretty interesting.  Since its still holidays here I went to a game center in Ikebukuro and played on the UFO catcher machines.  After a few tries I won this toy from on the the machines however I wasn't so lucky the other times. 


I tried to get a teddy bear from on of the machines and spent over $30 and still didn't get it.  Anyway since I was there for so long a guy and a lady were there trying to help me but I still didn't get the bear. Later the same lady came back with 3 toys from the same machine, and she gave me one of them since she felt sorry for me.  Yay simpathy!!



These UFO catcher machines are so addictive, its like gambling for kids.  I couldn't afford to get a gambling addiction, especially after I got my RCG (responsible conduct of gambling) that would be really embarissing.  So then I switched to playing guitar hero where I only spent up to $3 and had a lot more fun.  I've learnt my lesson, i'm not going near one of those machines again unless its really easy or i'm spending other peoples money.

Anyway when I was ready to go and get lunch the same guy kept following me (even though I was trying to shake him off).  Honnestly I couldn't understand what he was saying all the time.  (I just pretended to know) Anyway he even bough me lunch (egg rice and soup) which was nice of him (I offered to pay though) and he even got me this toy.


Oh boy, I hope this wasn't a date 0.o After that we went to Book Off (second hand book shop) where I bought 20 books for 1600 yen which = $16  Holy cow!! In Australia one book would be worth $16 meaning 20 would = $320 that was awesome :D


After that I figured I should go home.  Normally I would walk back but since the same guy was still following me I didn't want to walk home instead I just took the subway back.  He said that he would like to meet me again next sunday but I said that I wasn't sure. 

He was a pretty nice guy however i've only been in Japan for 6 days.  Therefor I still cant tell the difference between an axe murderer and a japanese otaku (middle aged guys who like anime and games.)  Also I'd prefer to meet friends my own age.  (hurry up other exchange students!!)
