Takoyaki and Okinomiyaki

I think I spelled the second one right, Lol.

Today I went to school to get my schedule and the gang walked over to Midori, the super store a little ways away. Andra helped me get an electronic dictionary, so I have one. A casio XD A4800we. The only problem is.... it's all in Japanese, the menu is in Japanese, and the instructions are in Japanese. I had to have Haruka, my seminar house's RA teach me how to set it to English. ... WEELLLL It can't. So I asked her if she can show me how to use it. So now I know how to do basic functions and I'll learn the rest along the way. It was a bit expensive but I know it's a good investment to have. I just have to be careful with my finances now.

I meet my homestay family tomorrow bright and early. Don't expect an update for a few until I figure out the internet situation there. It won't be a problem if they don't have it, I just don't know yet.

ALSO: Monday is the first day I travel by myself to campus. By train. Wish me luck and hope I don't get lost!

Tonight the gang went to get takoyaki, octopus balls. They were delic. We also ate Okinomiyaki which is yummy diced cabbage with sauce mashed together with a breading-like substance. The Japanese people next to us were really friendly, and with our broken knowledge of each other's language we managed a nice conversation. They bought us some beers and to be nice I drank it. It wasn't the best tasting thing in the world but it would have been rude to refuse. Good night of food though! Definitely not going to go hungry in Japan!
