Too lazy to put a title...

Yesterday.... Was hot.

We got up and went to Osaka.... I think. No, Nara! Yeah, we went to Nara and walked. We got to a park filled with deer.

You can feed the deer these cracker-biscuit thingies. The deer aren't afraid of people either. They were chasing tourists, eating uchiwa fans, biting people... xD Poor Kayleigh! I met this one very... affectionate deer who liked nothing more than to rub her head on my butt. What is it about animals in Japan? The bee tried to go down my shirt, the deer greeted me inappropriately... xD

Kayleigh and I met our new best friend. Phillip. We named him that, and he is now the coolest deer in the world.

We went to a temple nearby with a huge statue. In the back there's a hole in a pole. (Hey, it rhymes!) If you can go through, then you'll reach Enlightenment faster... Or something. Nathaniel tried. Kayleigh and I said that if he made it through, then he had to be a wizard for sure.

He made it.

And got a nasty scrape on his elbow in theprocess.

I have pictures! xD And Kayleigh has a video.

The group split up after lunch. Half of us went on the bus while theother half walked. We felt so grown-up, getting on a bus and figuring out everything untilwe realized it was the wrong bus. xD I feel so stupid.

After that we went to Osaka and walked around the mall. Since I don't like heights and Nathaniel wasn't interested and Jonathan didn't want to be alone with everyone else, we rode the escalator. xD

Then, with Kayleigh, we went back to the hostel for an hour of hiding in the boys' closet and playing word games.

Back to Osaka! Then to Sakuranomiya, which was holding a festival. It was by water, and a lovely breeze was picking up. We walked around, got food and shaved ice, and waited for the boat parade to start.

It did. It was boring. But the wind was really blowing and it felt great.

Emily, Heidi, Kayleigh, Jonathan, Nathaniel and I headed back to the hostel before the fireworks started to avoid huge crowds and headaches from fireworks.

We managed to get ourselves to the train station, to the right platform, on the right train, and ride to Shin-Osaka station. Yeah, I feel so grown up. xD Even though I really didn't do much.

We then all hung out in the guys' room. Kayleigh and I went into the closet while we all made lesbian jokes (xD). We told riddles and I freaked out that Nathaniel was dying. Don't tell me not to worry! It only makes me worry more! And then it makes me say even more embarrassing things later! If you hadn't been so stubborn I could've given you the band-aid without the weird ranting thing! Dx

After that, I went straight to bed. xDD I was too embarrassed by what I had said and a little hurt by his reaction to go back in there. And I was sleeeepy.

Now I'm getting my last post of the trip out of the way before the long trip to Tokyo.

Hey, they're playing the Laputa theme. xD Kimi wo Nosete...


I've been testing myself to see if I can recognize the songs playing in the stores as I walk past. Dinner the other night played Koi wo Shichaimashita by Tanpopo (Wasn't expecting a H!P song, let alone one by their oldest MM subgroup. xD) and Life by Nakashima Mika. And they were weird violin/piano versions, too.
