One funny thing happened last night that I forgot to mention. We were out eating and drinking till just past twelve so I had to rush back to the train station to catch the last train back home. I got there just in time because there was only one train left. Concerned because I couldn't recognize the kanji for the final destination I decided to ask the train conductor where the train was headed to. He said that it was going to Hoya (one stop short of where I live-doh! gotta walk.) It wasn't until I had gotten on the train that I realized I had asked him "Where is this bike going?" (densha=train, jitensha=bike) A combination of too much alcohol and not enough studying I suppose.
