We ended up playing games in the lobby for the rest of the day and then I had to take the train home fairly early, since I live approximately 1 hour away from them.

The next interesting thing that happened was this thursday when me, Julia, Steve and Matilda was going to a international party, which was located in Shinjuku! Fun thing is, I actually met a long lost friend in the elevator on the way out of their social residence. It was Danielle, who I met at the airport the first time I arrived in Japan! We were on the same plane to Japan in June(?) last year and she has been studying japanese ever since, so it was a lot of fun meeting up with her, especially in the elevator at the place where my friends live. Anyways, we went to the international party where we got served with free alcohol and food. Although it was not that much fun since it was too cramped, the air was so bad so it got heavy to breath and I just did not like the enviroment in there overall... At least I know I am not going to another international party! 
We decided to leave the party earlier than expected to see if we could find something else to do for the rest of the day, and we managed to stumble across this: Click me.

We had no idea what was going on, but they gave us glowsticks so we could go haywire at the streets and just party like animals like everybody else.
After the fun encounter with the dancing maids, we headed on to an arcade (how surprising) and played some mario kart and some other fun games. We also stopped by at KFC to eat even more food, because why not.

So the day turned out for the better in the end, even though the international party was not that much to be excited or happy about.

 

Friday finally arrived and my kanji test for that day went better than expected, so I was happy! That had to be celebrated together with a friend from my class, so we headed out to a place to eat some delicious food and drink some alcohol. It was a fairly shady place that my friend knew of, it was located in the back of an alley almost, down a pair of small narrow stairs, and voilá, there was a restaurant there. They did have really delicious food there (as any other place in Japan) and they sure as hell were not cheap when it came to giving you more alcohol. Did I mention earlier that we were going to drink "some" alcohol? I meant to say, way too much alcohol. Since the alcohol here in Japan does not taste alcohol, at all, you can easily get really drunk without even knowing at what level you are at. That happened to me, at 7 P.M. (19:00). So after we had eaten and drank too much alcohol, I basically just went home and sat infront of my computer going back and forth, trying to stay awake so I would not wake up too early the day after. Easier said than done, I passed out around 8 P.M.(20:00). It was a fun day though, but I know now that I will never ever be as thirsty for alcohol as I was back at that restaurant! Lesson learnt.

 

Hungover, obviously. But the weather is awesome! It was around 19-21 degrees (celsius) so I had to take advantage of the weather. But my body did not want to, it was so tender and did not want to co-operate. Luckily, Maja (fellow swede at our share house) dragged me outside for a walk to Shimokitazawa, where we basically just walked around looking for a place to eat at, but there was only noodles everywhere. And by everywhere I mean literally EVERYWHERE, we barely saw any other restaurant apart from a burger joint and a McDonalds. But we did take a picture, so I guess the walk was not for nothing.
