ERO(TIC) CAR!!!

On Wednesday (Yesterday), I went with my super, to Asahikawa. We went to G-Park, a place that sells used Subaru cars (the one I mentioned before), to talk about some financial details and have closer inspection of the cars I was interested in. If you remember, there was a buyer interested in the "Ero car" but apparently that deal didn't work out and the dealership contacted us to begin negotiations.

So we started negotiates with another guy. And I did my best to hide my excitement at the possiblity of buying the ero car. We tried to pick out the flaws, in hopes of lowering the price of the car. (To recap it was listed at 470000 JPY total, actually when we got there there was a price sheet listing it as 540000 JPY, which is more than I prefer to pay for it.) There are quite a few dings on it, but its really nothing serious. It's really everything you expect fro a new car.

I got to test out the clutch point (the dealer didn't look too happy when I asked) and inspect inside the hood and the bottom. Everything seemed ok.

Remember when I said that the winter tires weren't included? Well Takahata-san asked and we actually got a set for free. All in all, I will be paying a total of 400000 JPY for it. I think it was mostly due to Takahata-san's talking and bargaining. Anyway I owe him Ramen and a Beer for it.

Afterwards, we went back to Kamikawa, and Takahata-san invited me over to his house for dinner for a celebration. We had Jingiskan (Sheep) Nabe. It's like sukiyaki, in which you have soup and cook food on it. Actually I'm not really sure because I was too busy drinking craploads of beer. Go look it up on wikipedia if you really want to know.

So yah, I was drinking a lot, with Takahata-san, his family was just watching us and enjoying the food. It's kind of wierd how its kinda acceptable for the father and other people to get drunk infront of the family. Actually the kids, were pouring the beer for us some of the time.

Afterwards, we played Mario Party 8 on the Wii and Warioware. It was really fun, and I think we all had a really good time. Being drunk wreaked havoc on my reflexes tho, so Warioware sucked pretty bad.

I got to watch a bit of Takahata-san's wedding ceremony, and the games they play when they get married. There was a sumo parody and some singing. The biggest surprise to me, was seeing the younger versions people I knew from Kamikawa. They had changed so much since the time of the video.

Today, was really busy, it was a full day. Morning was Sounkyo elementary, after that was a meeting at the elementary and then finally kaiwa club at the high school, which went really well thanks to the Berabera book. (It's really hard to explain what this is if you don't know Japanese culture, or SMAP, but its basically an english phrase book made by a celebrity in Japan).

So yah, I'm pretty tired right now so I think I'm gonna call it an early night,I'll blogged to you guys later.
