Kesennuma Rising 2, Trip Planning

This last weekend they had Kesennuma Rising 2 at the Yokocho Yatai Mura (横丁屋台村).  The same people as last time performed and it was pretty cool.  Freiddie (sic) Mercury was once again the best act of the night.  These events are pretty uplifting in this city.

They had a a party for singles the other day in the yatai mura as well, but you had to have tickets to get in, and by the time I knew that they were full... supposedly.  But my neighbor Pierre-A went down without intending to participate and they said he could!  Those bums.  I wanted to join in.  It's so lonely here it's killer sometimes.  The girls, despite my thinking they would be desperate for boyfriends since it's super hard to meet people here, are not desperate.  In fact they push me away at every opportunity (If I have time I'll call you!).  Maybe one day.

Planning for a trip to Tokyo in September.  Going to go see sumo, a baseball game, the AKB48 cafe, the Ghibli museum and some other things too likely.  I also need to find out details on how to get back home for the summer for 2 weeks.  Looking forward to this next year because I'm going to be doing stuff like traveling and essentially going all out.  It'll be my last year living in a foreign country, likely forever, and it's going to count!
