Tennis, and Karaoke ^__^

Yesterday I had my first tennis practice!!!! It wasn't that intense... which I'm a little sad about. It was very short, but still fun. After the practice, we had a ohanami, which is a picnic under the cherry blossoms where we got to know the members better. It would have been more fun if it wasn't so damn cold. At least it didn't rain :)

After that we had a nomikai... that's an all you can drink gathering, and there was food too. I think this part of the night was the funniest. Japanese people are truly cheap drunks. At least the ones that we hung out with. Most of the guys got drunk and then tried to hit on all the new girls. Haha like peacocks fluffing their feathers. At one point of the night they even started to show off their 'skills' at dancing... I can't even describe how funny that looks. I don't even know if what they were doing was considered as dancing.... I almost choked from laughing so hard. Dancing was followed by impersonations of the Dragon Ball Z characters, and the kamehameha thing. (totally butchered that spelling.. my bad.) I have no clue how they can get so drunk. The juice to alcohol ratio was probably like 9:1.

The nomikai ended at 9 pm, and everyone wanted to go to a karaoke afterwards. I am proud to say I was able to read the hiragana fast enough to sing some of the Japanese songs too :) The last song we all belted to was A Whole New World.... Sho funny :P Also in the karaoke room they give you these half tambourine things, which are incredibly loud. One of the guys was so drunk that he went crazy with shaking those tambourines to the point where his knuckles and hands were bleeding. Now that is some hard core karaoke-ing.

The rest of the tennis club was going to pull an all nighter singing, but I left early. I was so exhausted and ready to pass out. Overall yesterday was a great day to work out my laughing muscles :D
