special weekend

At last there is one special eventful weekend. On saturday early evening, I went with my friend, Taka over the border to Saitama, which is above Tokyo. The plan was to hang out in Saitama and to stay over at his place at night. When I reached there it was around 7.00 and we headed down to an open air hot spring. It's the first time I have been into one and it's quite an interesting experience. Other than the normal spring water, there is another heated spring water area and also another jacuzzi style area. Basically, after the whole experience, I left feeling refreshed. Next my friend's father brought us to a sushi bar where I had the freshest sushi that I have ever eaten before. I was also introduced to sake and another variation of Japanes alcohol. After that, I followed Taka to meet his childhood friend to a few food and beer places that lasted till about 3.45 before we returned home. Sunday was basically spent at a park in Saitama, followed by a nice afternoon chat with Taka's mother. Somehow I am able to understand like more than 1/2 of the converstion but I still need a translator. I only managed to return home in the evening to get ready for the next day.
