Take me out to the crowd

Time really flies here.
Having fun makes me busy.
No time for classes.

Time really does fly out here. Last night I went out again. It all started with a reception for students on the program. Then one of our professors took us out for drinks, and then I ended up back in Roppongi again. Our first stop was the Train Bar, a bar that was made from an old subway car. A cool idea, but it's really tiny, you could probably only fit about 15 people there, and even that would be squished. Anyway, one thing leads to another and it's another night spent watching the sun come up. I was dead tired all day today, and I just couldn't wait to get back home.

Today we had a tour of the Japanese Supreme Court. They even let us sit in the Justices' chairs, it was pretty fun. I think I look a lot like a Japanese Supreme Court Justice in this picture.

After the tour we went to a baseball game! We saw the Tokyo Giants play at the Tokyo Dome. I had never been inside a dome before. It was pretty cool, although I definitely prefer outside games. The game was a ton of fun. Man, the crowd can really cheer! I felt like I was at a European soccer game, there were huge flags and lots of singing. The home team won, which was a bonus I guess. A friend of mine almost caught a home run ball! Our seats were really good, we were right down the third base line in about the third row. There was a roller coaster right next to the stadium, but unfortunately we got there a little late and the game had already started, so we couldn't ride it. Hopefully I'll be able to make it back there, but there's so much to do who knows!
