Day 22 - Shibuya, again..

I had laid in bed for just a few minutes last night before someone started ringing my door. It must've been about 12:30am or so, so I couldn't imagine who it'd be. When I open the door I look I see no one there, and then a sudden roar or laughter came from the near stairway. It was both Clinton & Dasom very cheery so late at night.

They hung out in my room for about 20~30min or so before heading back to their own apartments. I know they only did it because they were bored and we didn't have class the next morning, but I still needed my sleep. This morning I expected to get up around 8am or so like I would normally on say a weekend. But surprisingly my "just in case" alarm set for 11am went off and I woke up abruptly.

I still lingered around the apartment seeing how I hadn't planned on leaving until 1:30pm anyway to catch my only Japanese class of the day, but I like waking up early just so I can try being productive. Walking to the train station I noticed it was nice a bright, and looked as though the internet forecast was correct.

Well after class rain was coming down hard again which left us with no big options to travel very far on such a day. We as a majority decided to walk around Shibuya (again) and see if we could find anything different to do. Of course the girls had an agenda -- to shop at 'Bathing Ape' a designer store I had previously visited in Harajuku. Aside from that, we walked into a few more stores and had dinner at an Italian restaurant which served very tiny portions considering the price we paid. Be it the meal was 750yen and we don't have to leave any tip, it seems like for the food we got it was a bit overpriced.

Seeing how it was already 8pm or so when we had finished dinner & a little more walking, we figured we'll call it a day and headed home, planning to rest up for tomorrow's field trip with the rest of the JLSP students to the 'Disaster Simulator' place.
