It's a shrimp eat shrimp world.

Yesterday, my host family bought two turtles (tiny ones). The fish shop was awesome, and I had officially decided to own many shrimp when I grow up, until I saw something... Disturbing.

In one of the shrimp tanks, there were a bunch of them clustered together oddly. Upon further inspection, it looked like a bunch of the big ones were gang-bashing another one of their own. Haruna and I concluded they were either trying to kill it, eat it, or clean it. Either way, I stood there watching them do this for a very long time while the rest of the family bought the stuff. I gotta say, it put me off the 'buy a bunch of shrimp' idea.

Yup.

Today was the second day of golden week, and Rikkyo's health check up day. It was odder than the shrimp thing...

First we went to school late. When we got to school, we had to change in the classroom into PE clothes. That was fine, until I found out that we also had to go bra-less... awkward stuff. Also, your jacket couldn't be a pullover. If it was, you weren't allowed to wear it. Guess what kind of jacket I had? I ended up wearing my blazer with it instead.

The tests were odd, and the attempts to translate the question sheets for me were even odder. One question about my period, a really lovely girl in my class thought was appropriate to translate as 'blood festival' o.O

The main weird test was the one where you sat on a chair and they spun you around to examine your ears, mouth, eyes, and nostrils. They actually had something to stretch the nostrils open wider. Yup.

It was fun though, teambuilding again (in a way...)
