The 4th day here was pretty laid back. We hung out in Scott's home town of Tsukuba for the whole day with a bunch of his former co-worker/friends from various places - some were American, some Japanese, some Australian, New Zealand, and some Scottish. We mostly hung out at the park nearby, had a picnic and played soccer.
We followed by going to a cake store nearby that was about as fantastical as I have ever seen. You go in there and you breathe sugar. And the places has massive lines, it's like seeing the Krispy Kremes the other night in Shinjuku where there was a line going outside the store and across a long bridge, in the middle of a rain/wind storm.
I had a cheese cake and it was actually really really good, and it was individually wrapped with multiple layers of plastic and paper, as is most things here.
We followed the rest of the night with some hanging out, walking to the grocery store and had a spaghetti and wine party. Then we did the stereotypical japanese thing... Karoke!
That was a pretty fun time actually. The first song Scott and I did was Lithium from Nirvana, and man, my throat hurt after that. Ha! Especially since we followed up a song later with The Buggles, Video Killed the Radio Star.
There was some pretty memorable moments in our singing fest, with a room of 9 of us. :)
Anyway, today is a day of cars, cars and more cars. Hopefully some awesome exotic prototypes and what not. I want to see the robot monkey GPS car...
