~:[CH11 - Day 181]:~ It's Me

I have quite the diverse list of interests. I find a lot of people who share common interests, but don't always find people who share my range of interests. One of my friends in Japan is pretty much the Japanese version of me. I was so amazed at how similar we are, which makes hanging out so easy. The plus side is, he speaks pretty good English, which is a nice break from trying to speak broken Japanese. It was scorching hot today though as we went at Ueno. He wanted to check out an exhibit that was up. I often go to exhibits alone as I don't often find people who pace through it at the same rate, but with our art backgrounds, we seemed to be in sync. Later we hit up an izakaya (in the afternoon) that was packed and talked about all the NBA buzz. I'm not happy that he is a Warriors fan, but still, it's great to talk about all these trade rumors with someone who follows the sport and also played it. Next time, we are going to shoot hoops nearby, but today was definitely not the day as it hit 98 (from what I saw). I ended up walking through Akihabara again as I was looking for the camera shop again. I failed, again, but ended up finding a shop that I liked and may visit again before I leave. I met up with my other friends as we just relaxed a bit in Shinjuku before calling it a night. As I looked back on the day, I was amazed at the contrast of my day. As while I am always willing to go out and hang out in that lively atmosphere, the day felt like a day built more for my style. I guess that's what happens when you find your clone in another country.
