Shopping

I went on my first adventure today. I woke up early and did my other post this morning and then went out on the town to explore. I was by myself and had no clue where I was going. I walked into several dead ends and roads to nowhere. Then I ran into some newbies that I met on the bus last night, Benny from Germany and Dillan from Washington, the state. We decided to go find the campus and look for food. Our bus missed the food tour last night and there wasn't another one until tomorrow so we were hungry. We got lost. The map Gaidai (shortened term the locals use) gave us was not very detailed and we ended up walking into a gated warehouse. The security guards were nice enough to point us in the right direction. We kept going and we figured we'd take a shortcut to the right through this residential area. We got lost. But it wasn't my fault. I was following the guys and they wouldn't stop and ask for directions. After finding the main road an hour later we found the 99 yen shop, which is like a dollar store and the grocery. The campus was within eyesight, but we had been walking so long that I was hungry and tired. So Benny went on ahead to the campus and Dillan and I went shopping for food. It was the kind of food within my budget so I bought some and we headed back to the seminar house. The actual walk was abou 15 minutes, but it took us over an hour to get there. It was good food to. Again, I will upload pictures when I get my laptop on their network.
