ohanami attempt two.

i met naho at 7pm at the grocery store. we bought beer. and, i might say, we were both hot ladies on our bicycles. naho gave me props for knowing japanese slang, like mamacherie, and obatallion, and we jumped on said mamacheries and headed up to the park to ohanami! yay!

we bought some okonomiyaki (yummy pancakes, but these were without tako, kind of disappointing, and 500yen!!)

then we walked around, and drank more beer, and bought more food, and drank more, and bought more food. this is naho eating one of the snacks, already pretty blitzed.

for about a half an hour we sat on these steps, by this temple-like thing, the hand washing area, and people watched and talked about boys. what do i look for.. mmm he must be stylish! and what does naho look for?... mmm he must have muscles! so much fun! we were laughing about how only ojisans are the people that say "domo domo domo!" when you run into them. and its funny when they say it to each other, just "domo domo domo-ing".

then we wandered back up to the "carnival" alley where all the food was to hit the loo, wash the dango off of our hands, and took a seat while naho finished her beer. we were scheming in regards to finding more alchohol and approached this one oji-san at his stand and found out he wanted 400yen a beer!

we tried to talk him down to 200yen, but well, no going there, obviously, so we sat more, and he came over and started talking to us. he made some joke about being from brazil, and then asked me if i wanted to marry him, and i laughed and said "iiiiiieeeeeee!!" and shook my hand in front of my face very vigorously. also known as "hells bells no!" and then later he said i would fall in love with him! so funny. then we saw dave-sensei, and melissa (her blog is here) and her boyfriend, who if i remember introduced himself as james brown. could be wrong. so they sat, and we laughed, and then i think the ojisan scared them, so they took off, and naho and i quickly booked it afterwards and laughed like crazy about the ojisan. then we got more beer at lawsons. while we were at lawsons the clerk suggested we order flowers for mothers day, and i said "inai" meaning, i had no mother! so funny. then, we came back, i got way more drunk, and we played upwords with naho spelling japanese words, me spelling english words, and laughing when she spelled dior. so much fun. i'd say it was a successful ohanami.
