Cathy and I went to Comiket on the weekend and didn’t have the time of our lives we thought we would. I don’t think doujinshi is really my scene although the Cosplay and homebrew games were pretty fun. Also the crowds there were massive, we waited an hour after the event had finished and there were still hordes of people shuffling out of the convention centre, I don’t think I’ve seen that many people in my entire life. Apparently some guy posted on 2chan that he was going to set off a hand grenade at the convention, I guess we saw a few security gaurds around the place to back that up.
Check out photos of Cosplayers here.

Finally got to school yesterday, but none of the staff new we were
coming and only a few teachers and the office ladies were there to
meet us.
Today we had the mayor and I managed to interpret a fair bit of it for
the group, yoshida sensei only had to help me with little bit.
Afterwards we had a ceremony where we received our contracts and even
though everyone, the higher ups and all, were in the room and were
waiting quietly and we were making gestures at suda sensei to say why
hasn’t it started yet, he said to us “the ceremony starts at 3 oclock
so we will wait 6 minutes” and so we had to sit there for six minutes
till he said “ok the ceremony will begin now”. lol.

There was this talk show on manga on the other night, and it looked
pretty cool. They had manga experts on and they’d display some manga
pages and read out the speech bubbles then discuss it and then show
some anime episodes but there was a storm that night and it messed
with my reception so I missed most of it. 
maybe it’ll be on next
week.
