Saturday, March 5th- Oh, what a day.

Saturday was very interesting- to say the least. A lot happened. It was one of those days that are really want to animate in a manga.
The day started off sort of normal-except there was a guy that I had never seen before here. But I didn't think much since, lots of volenteers just show up for a day. So, I discarded the fact that he had a camera and note book.
Our first jo was loading wood into the truck and moving it only a few feet. Then we had to take it out and pile it underneath this really low shed. On the othr side of the shed is the stove that Kamitakesan has to keep going so that we can have hot water. Well, we had a little accident. I was putting down some wood, just as Gizen was standing up, and.... well, it wasn't good. The end of the wood got her in the eye-hard. She lst one of her contacts. So, why does this have to happen on the one day that a new reporter is there?
Then we all got in the trucks and drove off too one of the feilds and greenhouses.
There were people from the neighborhood working in the feild that day. I'm still tryibng to figure out how it works wih people volenteering and stuff.
Anywhoo, I forgototmeti that one of the guys who use to work here had come by. (I forgot his name) He is 30 and he now works on making fields in another area. He is a really serious guy. Its actually kinda intimidating. At one point Gizen and I were pulling weeds from along some rows of onions (yes, we made up fast). She jumped across the onions and I don't know if she stepped on it or no but anyways he comes over and starts lecturing us on how we can't step on them, etc., etc.. and I couldn't help laughin becuase he was so serious. Then he got even more serious about it! He's really nice though, I just have to be careful- and act serious when he's talking. : )
The news reporter guy was really nice and he helped do somethings too.
Well, anyways that night all of us girls wento Tenma, which is an area in Osaka that as lts of shops. I had een thee before and seen a cute coffee resturant that I had wanted to go to.
Anyways, Alice is leaving today actually, so we wanted to do something together. Well, take a wild guess what the first thing we did was? PURIKURA!! Of course you have to get pictures before you leave.
Then we wenta sock shop and I went nuts as usual. So I bought three different kinds. Actually, one of them isn't even socks. It is these really cute lacy things that go around your anle when you wear high heels. Oh ya, and you know those arm bands I bought last time in Japan? There for your ankles too!!
We went to the coffee shop, which like many resturants in Japan doesn't have a reserved smoking area, so it smelt a little. It was really expensive for only a tiny bit. Like $8 for a plate of speggetti that is half  the size in America, and a tiny cup of coffee. Oh, well. That's Japan!
Then I bought some really cute belts, and we all bought these really awesome things that keep you warm. I used one in China. you basically stick his thng to your back and it heats up using your body heat. They usually last from 8 to 12 to 24 hours. The weierd ing is hat whatever is in side of it hardens as time goes by and when you take it off it is like a block. and heavy too, becuase it swells up. You can put some on your feet, use some to heat your hands. It works!
We got back at maybe 11:00.
There were a lot more things that happned I'm sure but unfrtunatly I am plagued with memory loss. boohoo.
