Cell fun pt. 205969753332

Once again I found myself in Shibuya with Shine and Keita at the softbank store where I sat for 2 hours going over the entire plan...again. I felt pretty good about this time because I had contacted my bank and the issue seemed to be resolved yet tragically that was far from the case. Once again the card was denied for some odd reason. And it seems to be random at best, I've talked to other people and some cards have been taken and others not. I did have a fun conversation with a man from North Carolina who took great pride in new and upcoming technology and he was certainly on his game - but other than that I'm clueless. I even tested my card at an office store before going to softbank and it worked beautifully so wakaranai.

My new plan is to open a Japanese bank account at Mizuho or somewhere nearby and work with that. This whole situation is absolutely ridiculous and I will get it resolved on Monday!

After that we went out to the Bape store which was alright, personally I like the style but I really really feel that they completely overprice for the quality of product given. The store itself was very impressive so I'll use that as a reparation for their insanely high prices ($70 for a tee shirt).

After that we got a crepe at a tiny little side store and like most things it was delicious. Later we went to an Udon place which had big bowls for 280 yen which for me is paradise because I love the stuff. Other than that we just went to a couple arcades and hung around Shibuya all day - we got an invite to a birthday party at Akasaka but we were all to tired and kindly rejected the offer.

I also switched all my classes to Tuesday Thursday which will be absolutely fantastic - its essentially equal to a normal day of highschool...except twice a week. I'm going job hunting very soon so hopefully I run into something good.

We also checked out the new station in Shibuya, there are these random doors that don't make sense at first but when you take a look up you see that they are for fires and the building gets sealed off from these walls the come down from the ceiling - its crazy.
