So between kindergarten sports day and hanging out with a fellow Iwate ALT who I like quite a bit but never get to see and a random trip to the beach and conveyor belt sushi and taking a picture of my neighbour posing between a Nazi and a nun, I had a most seriously awesome weekend, but I think my favourite part of it was when we realized that we were on our way to see a performance of The Sound of Music, we had an extra ticket ... and we knew where the nearest ALT lived.
So we went up to his house and knocked on his door and had a conversation that basically went like this:
Us: "Hey, you haven't met any of us but we're fellow JETs and we knew your predecessor. We have an extra ticket for The Sound of Music and we'll totally give you a ride. Do you want to come?"
Him: "Uh ... Sure!! :D"
Man, I dunno, I just got a huge kick out of doing that and I feel like I am not likely to ever again be in a situation where I can just randomly go up to the house of someone I've never met and invite them to something and have them accept and have it all turn out awesome. It made me really happy. x) Somehow I feel like my best and most lasting memories of my time on the JET Program are going to be the totally ridiculous ones that I never would have expected at all.
