Just Can't Shake It

Or sing it, rather.

Today I went downtown for the second to last time in my second to last day in Beppu! Hurrah! Was lots of fun. Hung out with Kohei and Euan at a hotel onsen and karaoke.

The onsen was really really cool. We were on top of a hotel. Like, on the roof. I didn't know they made those even. And there was a nice, light rain going on as well, so it was a good mixed medium sitting in the hot onsen. It was a good view sitting there chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool while watching the beach, the bay, and the mountains. We were there a bit longer than I had a need, but considering it was an expensive onsen that we got into for free, I'm not going to be complaining.

Afterward was karaoke. For three hours. Yeah. But really, you haven't lived until you've heard your foreign friends butcher the execution of classic Western music. It's perfectly alright, though, cause I went up and butchered a few of their songs too (name Setsunarensa, Makafushigi Adventure, and Real Folk Blues). Proud of that. It ended up being a lot more fun than you'd expect three hours of karaoke to be, so hey why not.

Then we parted ways so I could get something to eat (you know, for the first time today. At 7pm.) and I chose ramen,like I usually do. So good. And then afterwards, Starbucks, which is insane to hear coming from me, I know. Wait, probably not that insane. I don't think I'm one of those corporate conspiracy types, I just really don't like coffee. However, they have this "lemon green tea frappuccino" there that I was debating not coming home because of, until it dawned on me that it tasted exactly like green tea SoBe.

When is the last time I had SoBe? When is the last time YOU had SoBe? They still make it, right?

One more thing to do when I come home.

Sunday.

FOUR DAYS, PEOPLE.

Wow.
