The last weekend was jam packed full of fun and craziness. The freshmen and foreign students all packed together to go on a retreat out in Saitama. The location had an onsen, yakiniku, and lots of drinking! It was probably the first time I've drank until sunrise, and then proceeded to help take everyone back to their rooms and clean up the room we were all drinking in. During which, I was still drunk for the most part. A great weekend to be had.
On Sat morning, we all met up at the rotary in Takadanobaba again to get ready to head off by train to the ryokan that we were staying in. (I'm doing this all from memory from a month ago because I was too lazy to write this earlier) We all got together and headed off to the train. Aiko was late, and we kept messaging and calling her. She finally responded and sent an incomprehensible message. We all boarded the train, and Aiko magically appeared. She explained what had happened, which was very interesting to say the least, and we continued on our way to the retreat. We took the train all the way to a little town where we waited over an hour for our bus. We had lunch, sat around, had some ice cream, and our bus finally got there.
We arrived at the ryokan and settled in before we had dinner. Dinner was an all you can eat yakiniku, but the meat was all pork. Still pretty good dinner though we didn't have any time to cook any vegetables. We played some ice breaking games, some took baths, and some rested before the real party got started. Everyone piled into a room where all the liquor was at, and we all sat around and waited for the big toast. After the toast, a bunch of "Call"'s were done for all the people who arranged everything for the retreat. If you don't know what "call"s are, check out my facebook. I have a video of it there. We all started drinking after that, and it was complete madness. I won't mention any names, but most of the people who went were drunk off their asses. Fun night overall. I ended up not sleeping the entire night because I felt it was pointless. Went to see a pretty awesome river and the surrounding area too. After that, we all gathered and left. When we got back, ate some curry, went home, showered, and slept. Great time to be had. The trip was a little expensive, but it was worth it.

Blah blah...
I know I haven't updated in a while, but here's a quick little update.
So I signed up for a speech contest a while back. I turned in an application, interviewed, and was selected for the contest. I have been working on and off on my speech, but that's not what this update will be about haha. I can't wait to get done with this speech!
Since my previous update, I went to Nikko, which had some excellent scenary, Waseda Fair, where I made and helped to sell nachos, and plenty more drinking. During the drinking, I was also able to learn some new drinking games. They're fun for the most part, but not so fun when I want to drink.
One actual new experience I had here was going to a club in Japan for the first time! One of the the CSU girls' birthday was on the day we went to the club. The club was in Shibuya and it was named Club Atom. 1000yen to get in the door before 12. For your information, trains stop running a little before 12 for most and a little after 12 for some. I bought new outfit and everything for the club, and it was a decent experience. I must say, guys in Japan are quite awkward. They are all willing to go to a club with only dudes and dance around with each other. Seriously bring some chicks with you to the clubs or something, so it's not a complete sausage fest with each other. They apparently also don't believe in maximum occupancy and air conditioning because the rooms were amazingly hot and crowded. The girls tickets also got 2 free drinks with their entrance fee. Overall a very interesting experience to say the least.
I'm going to just drop this update the way it is. It was basically about my club experience. I'm going to update really soon because I had a lot of fun this weekend.
