Purikura 3 – International Version

This was my final Purikura I took during my trip to Japan.

During my stay in Tokyo, I met up with Sakari and some of his friends for a day of fun around Shibuya and Harujuku. Along with him came 3 of his friends, 2 of which were exchange students like him, and the last one, a Japanese student whom he met at some school festival. I really envy them being exchange students as I would probably never get to the opportunity immerse myself in Japan for an extended period of time like what they are doing. At least not while I’m a student.

This meet up increased the vibrancy of my trip, since I managed to interact people of various nationalities. I doubt I’d have the time to embark on such a journey again, since various commitments devour all my free time remaining. The only time I’d be to do so would probably be 2010, unless I can somehow squeeze out a short break in 2009.

Anyway, since I mentioned the vibrancy of my trip, here’s an unordered late summary of some of the more interesting stuff I did for my stay in Japan:

- Entered a typical Japanese High School.

- Stayed at a Japanese friend’s house for almost a week.

- For the very first time, I wrote a letter in Japanese.

- Ate a load of great food. The various ramen throughout the trip was really delicious.

- Spoke possibly the most Japanese I would have ever spoken in a time span of 2 weeks.

- Met exchange students from Phillipines, Finland, and U.S.A .

- Made a couple of people over the net jealous because they think I have a harem. I really do not.

- Bought an 18-only doujinshi even though I’m not 18, yet.

- Sang karaoke twice. I do suck at it though, and really badly.

- Had dinner with a Japanese family whom I was a total stranger to.

- Cosplayed, as well as did a photo shoot for a cosplay.

These are the main stuff that left an impression on me, although I’m sure there are many more which I might have left out due to my failing memory. This is definitely one heck of a trip I never ever want to forget.
