Tickets & Son House

After classes today, James and I went into Tenjin. I posted a letter at the post office (how proud am I?!), and then we went into "No. 1 Travel - The Discount Travel Company". We enquired together about flights home, however the prices went up widly two days before our lessons ended. So, I'm going home two days early! I'm leaving on the 15th December, and getting back on 9th January. So about 3 1/2 weeks at home. Should be nice.

It cost about £450, but I had to pay in cash. So I reserved the tickets, and went back to the post office to withdraw. It didn't work the first few times (especially the time when the guy managed to enter ￥8,000,000!). I managed to get some out in the end, but only ￥50,000, so I'll have to go back tomorrow to get the rest out.

We all went out in the evening to a place called "Son House", which is an American Diner. Well, sort of. I had a burger and fries - it was nice, though not as nice as the ones back home. It was a bit like compresses mince meat. Afterwards we went to a little karaoke bar and sung our lungs out until one in the morning.
