Here we are outside of Chiuko University.

12:51
The post got cut off because stuff happened, here’s what I was GOING to write. “Waiting for Amoroso, who is, of course, late again. Nicole just found a bakery so we went inside and got some stuff there. I got a blueberry cream cheese thingie, melon bread, and some more Royal Milk Tea.”
Amoroso just walked up as I was about to write that.
Okay, so we went around on a tour of Chiuko University. Apparently it’s a ‘small’ school, even though it has another branch in Toyota City, and the two together have just as much space as KSU and GA Tech combined.
We toured the cafeteria (tried my first curry ever. Pretty good. And I know, Japanese curry isn’t nearly as hot as Indian, it’s slightly sweet too, ‘s why I liked it.
Then the library, offices, computer lab, and a bit more. I took some free time wandering around the main atrium there and watched a clutzy girl knock over a thermos of tea then try to clean it up by just tossing the little tissues onto it one at a time XD
Right now, we’re sitting around and waiting for the presentation to start up. Apparently we’re only going to do the group one instead of that and a group’s project. And the Japanese students didn’t have a presentation prepared for us in return (take THAT Amoroso :V ), but are just going to converse with us, with the aid of like five English-studying students.
This… should be good :3

Hoooooly crap.
That WAS fun!
First we sat through a couple of lectures from the different professors there and that was pretty.. well… boring :\
then we had a break after it right before 3 where I went to the maaaaassive atrium central area thingie and sat down to watch the people. Including one clutzy girl that knocked
And I just realized I DID write this before XD
So I guess that the girl was before. Anyway, after those prossors presented stuff, I went, took a break and walked around. Then when we came back, the 4 japanese students that were there for the Japanese prof’s lectures.. turned into 20-30.
So then we gave our on lecture and I was talking to a pretty awesome guy name Sho, a Taiwanese guy taking marketing there. It was funny as hell because when Joey got up to give his part of the lecture, Sho was like ‘I wanna rip off his face and wear it! With a face like that, you just have to *beckons with fingers* and the girls come to you!’
So I got his card (lol) with facebook and skype on it.
After that, we were split up into groups to ‘mingle’ and talk about the differences between Japanese and American, where I had Sho and a few others in the group I was in.
And I’ll post the rest later.
Off I go to tour and stuff~

12:15
Hooooooly Crap~!
The day got better! XD
Oh, but I guess I should finish my last post first. Okay so after we had a massive dinner party thing. Platters of sushi, fried chicken and shrimp, fruit and booze~
So we and the resident students all hung around and talked about stuff for a…. I dunno, a long time. I talked to Sho a lot and he offered to show me and Joey around since we’re the only two that aren’t going to Kyoto and such during the 3 days off this weekend.
It’s funny that even with different languages, I always end up near the nerds :V
The guys I were talking to were big into Gundam and such.. lol
I talked to a bunch of guys, but not so many girls. Ah well.
Then AFTER all of that, we agreed to hang out with Sho at 8. So that’s when I made that last post.
So we get there a few minutes late and there’s already about 10 girls there waiting from the party.. and Sho comes in 30 mins late lol.
First place we go is across the street to this maaaaaaassive tower (just because it looked cool). Turns out there was an observatory on top that had a 360 view of Nagoya. I took a bunch of pictures (or at least as many as my card-less camera can hold lol). I’ll upload these all tomorrow when I’m not tired as balls~ XD
And then we were there in time to see a huge mist display they created at the bottom of the observatory level… that shifted colors and flashes with LED lights.
After that, went to an arcade to do the photo-club booth thing.
9 people crammed inside a booth made for (at max) 3… fun shit XD And the camera would move every time so we kept having to shift and dodge to be in frame with only 3 seconds warning XD
And THEN we went to a restaurant and ate ‘family style’ food, like the food is large and you pass it around. By this point a few people went home so that dropped the group down to just 11-13 people from the original 24 XD
After exchanging a few email address’, we finally went back to the hotel. My feet are screaming from so long in dress shoes, and then from a whole day of standing/walking (even if tonight was my tennis shoes..)
And that was a bitchin’ good time! :D
Oh, but I will upload this one photo. Taken at the end of the dinner at school. Let’s play Where’s Waldo~!

Oh, and nobody's even really sure when we're supposed to leave tomorrow morning.. XD
