After school, I biked over to catch the bus to Tokyo for a weekend trip. After arriving in Ikebukuro, I wandered through the station for 20 minutes before I was able to find the cafe where the German conversation group was taking place. I followed the signs properly, but they disappeared shortly before the actual mall started. I never knew that Japan had so many underground warrens and malls attached to train stations. You can cover a lot of distance and find anything you need without going outside.

Anyway, the German conversation hour was cool. There were three other German native speakers and the rest were Japanese who had learned German. It was a lot of fun, but my German has gotten really bad. Many pauses and blanks where there should be vocabulary. Afterward, I headed to D’s place to crash again. She had another thing going on, so she left me her spare key. She’s always so welcoming. She actually ended up missing her last train so I didn’t get to see her.
