Goodbye Cousin! For Now!

So today was just so wonderful! I met up with my cousin who lives in Japan, for the first time since Golden Week (around the end of April). We met up in Omiya and went shopping for some omiyage. It picked up a few things for family and friends and then we went to eat. We went to a place called "Rakeru" which has the most heavenly bread. Just so soft and fresh and jshfjhdf mouth watering delicious. We stayed there for about two hours, eating and just talking about a lot of things; family mostly and how we both don't want to go home. Afterwards we went shopping for more omiyage and just wandered. We bought some things then headed to Round One. We got a tad lost because of my direction (hey! I went there a year ago, I couldn't remember that well!) but ended up seeing kitties and puppies in a pet store on the way. We got there and I tried to win a walking alpacasso (a stuffed alpaca) from the claw game, but I gave but as it was too expensive and really hard to move. Afterwards we wet downstairs ad saw this game called "Dance Evolution" which was basically a hybrid of "Dance Dace Revolution" and "Para Para Dance". Actually... its like real dancing haha. There is a America version of this game for Xbox Kinect, but not the same songs unfortunately. It was the most fun I've had doing a dancing game. Honestly, I saw other people doing it earlier and it looked like fun, but because there was a lot of people around I was like "I don't want to do it! Its embarrassing!!". But as per usual, wise cousin told me that I really shouldn't care and do stuff that I want to do without worrying about what others think and said "Do you really want to be back home saying 'oh I really wish I did that dancing game!'?". I took her advice and we both played and, lo and behold, it was super fun! Some people watched us but that was part of the fun. We played two rounds and then decided to go do some karaoke. So we did karaoke for two hours and then, before making our way to Urawa for "The Avengers", we picked up some pretzels. I got sesame seed and my cousin got black pepper and cheeser flavour. Another word of wisdom came from her as I was trying to decide which pretzel to get. "Get what you can't get back home." and I did just that. My cousin is basically a walking yolo. Today, tomorrow, and the day after are all pre-screenings of "The Avengers" in Japan, so I was really lucky to be able to get to see it before I went home! And in IMAX no less. We ate "Cold Stone Creamery" ice cream before the movie to burn some time. I got "Berry Spring Time" or something and my cousin got a cheesecake-y one. The names there for ice cream are so silly. So as they were mixing the ice cream, the workers sang us a song (in cute Engrish) and at the end the guy took the ball of mixed ice cream, threw it in the air and made it land in the cup! It was really cool! And kind of made my heart stop to think of the embarrassment in the case of dropping the ice cream. We ate and I had previously went to a Family Mart to buy water and ended up buying a Miku Hatsune meat bun. Family Mart always has funny themed meat buns. Last year they had a slime from Dragon Quest meat bun. I was amused! We then went upstairs and acquired some popcorn and travelled to our seats. IMAX3D is a beautiful thing. It really is. I love it. It is wondrous, even. We couldn't stay for after the credits because my cousin had to catch the last train that would take her to her prefecture. But because she had to run for her train we took a picture on either side of the platform. It was sweet. Now, I'm home looking around at what needs to be packed and wondering what I'm going to do with it. Tomorrow, I'm meeting another friend. These last few days are busy, busy, busy. Also my space-bar, "n" key and "b" key keep sticking or not responding. Its annoying.
