Today got up at a decent hour and hung around for a bit before heading out to meet Shine and Keita at 2. We met at Hachiko exit at Shibuya - from there we went to a less common softbank and tried to get Shine the Iphone - this went on for an hour before we were told to come back later. Keita gave his number and we headed off to a larger store near the citibank where we were put in the waiting room for a bit. At this point Vincent showed up because he was in the area looking for the citibank to withdraw some money. So eventually I got up and we sat there getting the papers filed out...and we sat some more and some more 3:30 turned to 4:40 that turned to 5:50 Shine went back to see if hers was ready - but her debit wouldn't go through so she came back 5:50 turned to 6:30 to 7:30 so we went off and got some food at wendy's were we then got a call saying that my card didn't go through and that they shredded the papers. So I figured my card was blocked so I called the emergency number my bank back in the states gave me and found that the card was still perfectly active. So we went back - being 8:30 this time - the same employee who was helping me actually got dressed back up and came to try again where we did 3 hours worth of work in 25 minutes. And once again the card would not go through so we gave out, said our thanks and left to meet John and his Temple 1 semester friends. At this point it was thundering like mad and the rain was coming down hard - I didn't have an umbrella today because the weather was gorgeous up to this point but it was ok because Keita let me get under his. We ran off to a Karaoke place and split ways with John's friends who wanted to go to a bar. So we then did our thing - it was all free refills which was great - I ended up singing Celine Dion My Heart will Go on with Vincent and some other more embarrassing songs but no one really cared.
Following that we left around 12 to catch some of the last trains.
Now this was pure insanity, I was jammed more close to 15 people than I have ever been in my life. Practically the entire car seemed drunk so it was like I was a part of a wave shifting with the train, so tight I couldn't move my arms more than an inch or two. Luckily I had a short ride so the experience was over quick. My friends were not so lucky - because of the thunderstorms many of the trains were stopped and people were left stranded for a good chunk of time. I really lucked out tonight with my stop so close.
