12/27

Today was Kim's 24th Birthday!!! Yatta! We had originally planned to go bowling but we decided to stay in Nisshin and go eat karake at Kizuna and afterwards have pudding in Kim's room. So we got all dolled up and biked out to Kizuna. It was COLD! Kim brought American chocolate mints, candy canes and Pixie Stixs for Mo-chan,Miki-chan, and Tsutsu-san. It was so amusing to watch them get so excited over Pixie Stixs, since they don't have them in Japan. After we bid them good night we biked back towards Nisshin. But we decided to try a side street to see if it was a short cut, and it was! But then we got greedy. We should have been content to have just one short cut. It was really cold but we were in a feel good mood so we decided to bike around. I finally figured out how we always get lost; we're lazy. We'll be at a crossroad and we'll say "well let's go this way cause we can always just turn around and back track." But we never actually back-track we always just try and find our way because we're too lazy and stubborn to go back. We ended up in Toyoake which is about an hour and a half away by train. Needless to say we didn't find our way back until 4 am. So tired.
