Brits, Belgians, and Chu-Hi

Well we had calligraphy class today, which was rather interesting. We learned about a few different types of kanji and then practiced writing them, this was really hard to do. I have decide that this is definitely not any area of art that I am good at, kind of like painting and printmaking. We worked on a fan and also a piece of posterboard that we got to keep. I also got my friend Shinachi to write out Kappa Sigma in kanji so I am going to meet some cool stuff to the fraternity when I get back to my desktop and printer. After that we kind of loafed around for a bit until we went to the archery club. I was excited about this cause I figured we would be able to practice Japanese style archery with a longbow, but no :_( we got to pull back the bow and that was it we didn`t get to actual shoot. I hoping that get some practice but I guess it Just wasn`t to be.

We left and made plans for dinner then, I went to the grocery store with some of the guys for food for breakfast the next day as well as other supplies. The grocery store is one of the few places around that takes a credit card so we frequent them a lot especially since they have a lot of sushi and other things already made so we don`t have to cook it. I then found a store that had some gifts that I was going to get for a few a my brothers. Boy did I feel dirty leaving that store. After we got back to the dorms we all gathered together and headed out to dinner at one of the kind of cook it yourself stir fry restaurants. This place is a lot of fun we need to have them in the states. Once dinner was through we all kind of parted ways. Several people wanted to go to Karioke but I was kind of tired of that so I went with Charles back to the dorm to kind of hang out with him and some of the other guys. We were just kind of mulling about thinking of people to call and what to do when Charles got an invitation from the Belgian girl, Kristin, to join her and the british girls out for some drinks and food. He asked if I could join and they cheerfully replied yes so we went along our way. They took us to this neat little Japanese pub and we sat around and had a Chu-Hi or two and chatted about the relations between our countries and their views on the world and we even talked about comedians. It was a really great time, and there is something about a pretty ladies with a great britsh accent that is just hot. After while Dave from cal Berkeley and 2 of the other British people showed up and joined us. We continued our chat for another round and then Charles and I decided that it was time to call it a night. So we closed our tab and left. On the way back we stopped at a Lawson`s to use the restroom. When I came out Charles had a grin on his face a mile long and was callin for me to come over there and see something. I went to see what he had found and what do ya know it was fireworks, right there in the front of the store. So we bought some, I won`t go into details about what we did with them but a good time was had I promise you that much. We then ended up on the balcony drinking more Chu-Hi talking to people as they came back from the bars. They then came up to join us and we ended up with a mini party on the balcony. It was quite and enjoyable way to end the evening.
