Sunday:
I went to another baking class and made some yummy cookies and this dessert. I can't remember what it's called in Japanese, but it was DELICIOUS!!! The apricot puree with rum was soooooooooo yummy!
After cooking class, I went out to Tokyo (Ueno) to do a little more shopping. I didn't buy too much because I got there late and I wanted to shop around. But I did find this interesting little cafe... Space cafe... what do you think they sell here? Space cake... what do you think is in it? lol...
Well, according to their menu, they have hemp beer.. whatever that means... but for those who are interested... it's in UENO! lol
Monday:
I went to watch my first and probably only SUMO fight! But before I go into details about Sumo, let me say again... JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE!!!! So, like most weekends, I got lost or couldn't find my way to my destination. The Sumo fight was held at Kumagaya Dome, which apparently is right behind my apartment, but I rode my bike the opposite direction. And once again, I stopped a random stranger to ask for directions in English, knowing very well, he probably doesn't speak English. I showed him the map, and said something to me, but I had no idea what he was saying. He gestured to follow him, and like always, without thinking, I followed him. haha... He took me to the bus stop and tried to explain to me my bus will arrive in half an hour. I said thank you and tried to explain that I'm okay now, I'll just wait there by myself. I saw him leave and I wandered around the bus station for 1/2 hour. The bus came right at 2:00 and i got on the bus and guess what? That boy came BACK to make sure I was on the bus!!! Absolutely sweet!
I got to Kumagaya Dome just in time to watch a couple of fights. It was interesting because the sumo wrestlers smell like baby powder! It was actually really cute. I didn't understand the fight so much because it really looked like a wedgy fight. I couldn't see how big the ring was, so I couldn't tell if one wrestler stepped out or not; I just assumed when the fight stopped.
I'll try to upload the video, but I'm still trying to figure it out... so don't expect it. But here's a picture of me and a sumo wrestler! mmmMmmMm baby powder! ^_^
After sumo wrestling, as much as I didn't want to shop anymore, I just couldn't resist. :P
I ended up with 2 new pairs of shoes, a cute mini skirt, a nice sweater and a belt. I promised myself I won't go shopping this weekend, but there's these skinny jeans that are adorable. *sigh* I'll let you know if I give in after this weekend.
