Picnic, Karaoke, and way too much food...

Although unbelievable, I woke up at 6:45 am to go jogging with my host dad while Mayuki took her bike. It was chilly, but a nice way to wake up :) Later we had our first picnic under the cherry blossoms. After our jog, my host dad went back to the park to reserve a spot.

Unfortunately the weather sucked... it was cloudy and really cold. All of us still went a bit camera crazy even if the weather did not agree. Also two birdies from our badminton game broke... but we still had a good time cause we played several drinking games, and sang a whole lot. A group next to us danced too!! Like drunken ballroom style dancing. Even though it was freezing, the kids had ice cream and shaved ice that they bought from the mini tents. I tried the shaved ice and it was sweet and delicious ^__^

After the picnic, where the adults got buzzed... they decided that we should go to a karaoke. In the karaoke room, it's as if my host mom turned into a school girl. She was bouncing around and dancing something her friend and her had previously choreographed. When it was my turn, I realized that my voice totally sucks ass. Despite this, I sang two songs: 'Suddenly I See' and 'The Yellow Submarine.' The book where you can choose songs is MASSIVE!!! You really need to know what you want to sing or you will get lost.

When it was time for the kids to sing, it felt like "Alvin and the Chipmunks" were sitting on my shoulder and screaming in my ear.... but the kids were so cute that I really couldn't complain. They too had choreographed moves. My host dad was hysterical. His tune was way off, but he was so into the song!! After we went over a friend's house and we ate and drank some more.... I am so stuffed. Still another awesome day in Tokyo ^__^
