I have had an incredibly great weekend and very quickly will tell you about it. Me and some friends from my time as an exchange student had a sort of reunion in Osaka.
On Friday a Mexican friend came to visit and in going to our favorite Izakaya (Japanese Bar) "Torikizoku" and afterwards to Karaoke, we revived our old tradition. The next day we went to our old University where they held this years big school festival. Afterwards we met another friend (from Spain) and we went to Starbucks and afterwards to an Izakaya. Btw. in Starbucks in Japan it's officially christmas as soon as Halloween is over. I am not sure how that is in other countries but it shocked me a little bit hearing christmas music on the first of November.
Sunday was the best day I have had in a while! A German girl, a Mexican guy, a Spanish guy and an American went to Osaka... (no this is not the beginning of a lame joke) and ate Kushikatsu 串カツ (I forgot to take a picture... sorry) its deep-fried food on sticks. Afterwards we aimlessly ran around Osaka following a Spanish guy with no sense of direction (right Uri...).
We also got to see NMB48 (if you know AKB48: it's the same just for Osaka). For everyone who doesn't know: It's an Idol group, a lot of cute young girls singing and dancing. It's actually a lot of fun, but their fans consist of 50 year old creepy Japanese guys who are totally in love with those 15-20 year old idols. I don't know whats wrong with Japanese society that that is actually OK...
At night we went again to an Izakaya and to Karaoke (it's all there is to do at night, but it's also the greatest thing every if you are with the people that you love). And with that my super reunion weekend ended! We need to do it again.
