Today was the Korean Pop concert. Mike and I had planned on arriving really early to hopefully buy a ticket, but they were all sold out. But we decided to wait and see if anyone was selling theirs, or if anyone didn't come to pick up their tickets and maybe we could buy them. But it appeared not to be so.
So Mike and I head over to Susukino (where the ice sculptures are) and went out for lunch. (we had purchased some Indian food during our time waiting to see about tickets for the concert, but we were hungry again) We went into this bizarre restaurant that was set up like a dinner, but made out of classier material... but had hip-hop and rap playing in the background along with a silent black and white film about a boat sinking. It was very strange.
We both ordered pizza, but they were so long in bringing our food out that they gave us free salads as 'service'. Mike and I enjoyed the food and then left to catch a bus to the Ainu museum. However we could not find the bus anywhere. Eventually we gave up and went to Purikura at a store near the Sapporo train station. I also bought the coat I have been ogling all week, it was more expensive then I would have normally paid for but it was super cute, warm and I looked good in it. We then met up with Hannah and Hannah (Mike's 2 traveling buddies) and had Sapporo ramen, which is really famous. It was soooooo goood~ I loved it!!
Hannah C. wanted to go for Karaoke afterwords, but Hannah P. doesn't like Karaoke, so we made a compromise- we would go to Karaoke for an hour and then a bar after that. Karaoke was really fun and silly- we tried to do as many songs as we could so we spend up a lot of them, which made singing more like rapping. By the time our hour was up, we were ready for some liquids, but I did not have much time before the last train to my hostel, and I was not up for staying out all night... so I was able to have one drink with everyone before Mike walked with me to the station.
I was really sad to have to leave him, it has been so nice for me to see Mike almost everyday in an adult/college setting. Even though it was awkward for me at time with all his friends, it was a great week. I can't wait to go to Kyoto with Meg and Sarah and hang out with him for a little bit again! :D
Saturday I plan on meeting with another guy friend, and then I am heading back to Akita.. so unless something really interesting happens this will be my last entry for this trip. I hope you all have enjoyed it!!
