Fun With the Kyuudo Club

My host brother, Riku is a part of the school's kyuudo club. So, when the club does something, I get invited along. Last Saturday, Riku invited the club over to his house and we all gathered to watch The Exorcist. In all honesty it was my first time watching it.

I'm going to be real and say I thought the movie was hilarious. We watched it in English with Japanese subtitles, so there wasn't an issue of anyone not understanding. Most of the girls were scared and so was Riku. It was a great time though, I made alot of friends in the kyuudo club that day. So, when I was invited to go bowling with them last Monday, I immediately said yes.

My bowling was sub par, but in the past few years I believe that was my 2nd time going bowling so I expected that. After bowling we went to eat at Big Boy's. I was kinda surprised Big Boy's even existed in Japan. However, the menu is very different. In Japan, Big Boy's is a steakhouse. The vast majority of the menu was steak which was a bit expensive. So I ordered my meal off of the sides menu. I had fried squid, fried chicken, and french fries. It was great! After that, Riku, and two other kyuudo members, Sosshi and Itsuki (who I've become good friends with), and I went to a game center. We played some arcade games for a while and took part in a bit of Japanese culture known as Purikara. Purikara is basically a photobooth meant for teenage girls. It takes photos and automatically does makeup, makes eyes bigger, and removes any blemishes. So when guys do it it becomes kinda comical. Some of the pictures can be seen below. In all the pictures, the one on the left is Sosshi and the one on the right is Itsuki.
