Well, it’s not quite as exciting as some would expect from a Friday night, but considering that I don’t do much these days, it was quite fun. A break from my usual routine of going straight home.
One of my coworkers wanted to go get some Korean tacos after work at a bar in Culver City. Now, I know you’re thinking, Korean tacos?! Seriously?? It sounds weird, but I was like, hey, that sounds interesting. It could either be delicious or really bad. And I’m always up for something new when it comes to food. If it turns out disgusting, then I can just warn people off. If it turns out delicious, then I can say with confidence, ‘yes, sounds weird, but don’t diss until you try it.’
But before I could partake in the bar atmosphere and the Korean tacos, I needed to buy some books to prepare myself for the level 2 JLPT. I passed the level 3 with flying colors… Rather makes me wish I signed up for level 2. Meh! The lady at Asahiya bookstores told me that level 2 is hard even for the Japanese. I was thinking, it might be like the TOEFL for Americans. Anyway, I bought 3 books on it, and they were expensive. If I don’t freakin’ pass this test, I’m going to be angry at myself.
Luckily, it’s multiple choice.
I know a friend that failed level 2 by about 10 points, and I read something about most foreigners in Japan learn Japanese up to level 2. They don’t go for level 1. Well, I’m not a foreigner (well, technically I am, but I can fool them for a while), so I’m going to take level 1 and pass. One day. In the not so near future.
Anyways….
After I bought my books, I stopped by Hyper Game to buy a game. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals: Rings of Fate. Maybe my friends will play with me. …They’ll probably want to play Left 4 Dead instead. :P
Anyways, again…
To the bar. The Korean tacos were served at a bar called Alibi Room on Washington Blvd. The place was packed with an unusually high number of Asians. I ordered spicy pork tacos and Koshihikari Echigo (I think) beer. They were all out of Sapporo. Darn. The tacos took a while, but they were good. Had another beer. Some of my coworkers decided to move to another bar called the Other Room, but I needed to sober up before I could drive and I wasn’t going to be drinking anymore.
Kandarp needed to take his dog out, so another coworker and I accompanied him back to his place. Hyper is a good word that would describe Buggy. After chatting, and playing with Buggy till 1 AM, it was time to go home.
And that was my exciting Friday night.
