Me in Toon Town and on the spinning teacup ride.
The prizes Asuka and I won.On Friday, Asuka took me to Tokyo Disneyland! Although it was a little crowded (and by little, I mean a lot) we went on over 20 rides! It was like 90 degrees (I think, everything here is in Celsius) and we fought our way through the crowds to attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean (I enjoyed this one because it was in a cold cavern), Thunder Mountain, and Pooh's Honey Hunt.
Because it is so near Halloween, there everyone was dressed up as Disney characters and all the attractions had Halloween decorations. Asuka told me that Halloween was not a big deal until 3 years ago, so I guess they are making up for lost time. We stayed the entire day (about 13 hours!) and by the time we were finished we were exhausted.
The next day We met up with Asuka’s friend Yagi (a nickname combining her first and last name, it means ‘goat’) and went to a new arcade game convention. For free, we were allowed to test out all the up and coming arcade games, which included mostly crane games.
Of particular note, I was able test out Tekken 6!!!!! For those who care, it is very fun and packed with new characters (who seem to be very strong!) Asuka and I were the only girls in line for this, which was pretty amusing. I can’t wait for it to come to the US!
Tomorrow I go and meet up with the rest of the students on exchange. This should be fun as I have to take all my luggage 1 1/2 hours by train! Stay tuned!

This is all so exciting!
RRR told Allie you were going to Disney in Japan and she about wet her pants! I've never seen her react like that to anything. Anyway she is going to have a million questions.
The only place in the U.S. people do karaoke is in bars so they THINK they sound good singing. *L
Loving the pictures!
MORE MORE MORE!
We love the pictures and miss you! It's great to see Asuka again. Please let her and her family know how happy we are that they have helped launch you in Tokyo.

Yay for Disney land and Tekken!
Boo for luggage transportation!
I hope your host family is awesome, heh, maybe you'll get an attractive host brother? lol
1. It always makes me laugh, how stoic Japanese people are in their pictures (besides schoolgirls of course, they are all peace-sign'y)
2. Doko no gakkou ni iku no?
