I apologize for my lack of updates. That one AX rant was supposed to be submitted more than a month ago, but I guess I finally got around to doing it. Just haven’t been inspired lately, I guess. Anyway, an update.

I’d also like this time to go through my past curiosities concerning Gotu-sama’s America blog entries. Over the past month, she’s been blogging her adventures in Long Beach, some of which I found a bit interesting. So, let’s go back in time, shall we?
In this entry, she talks about arriving in America and the concert. She talks about the language barrier confusion that happened on-stage (I’ll admit that the translator wasn’t exactly the best picked), but both Japanese and American staff worked very hard backstage to pull off the show. Although she couldn’t say it was perfect, she is still happy that the guests seemed to enjoyed it. She also says not to focus on the negative things about the event. Other than that, she also talked about a drug-sniffer dog that approached her at the airport which caused a bit of a ruckus. (lol)
This one is about room service. She decides to go with some seafood and burgers and a couple Heinekens. But… it was taking a while, 30 minutes! D:< So she called them up again and they say “oh, we’re on our way”. ‘Ah, ok. Gomen gomen.’ 15 more minutes and it’s late! Eventually she gets her food, thankfully. She also went out near the beach and the harbor, I think.
She bumps into a “Bamboo-san”, who supposedly is the president of a game company, in the lobby. So they go out to eat. After chatting and eat, as well with Mr. Translator, she went on her way to the Guitar Center. On the way, she passed by these pretty houses. かーーーーわいいーーーー(*^_^*) She requested the cab driver if she can stop to look, but the driver said “well, if you step out in this area, you might get shot”. Welcome to LA, Gotu-sama. Yeah, so she said nvm, let’s gtfo. Later she got some frozen yogurt, yummmm.
Here she talks about the view from her hotel room, pretty nice actually. You can see the arena where the concert was held and the lake nearby. It was quite the pleasant moment. That night, she stopped by this merry-go-round that just seems to be out of no where at some park. She went on and felt embarrased riding with a bunch of kids. But it was still fun. She wonders what Americans thought of some random Japanese woman riding this at that time of the night. wwwww
And we end the final America blog with this entry. Even though she has blogged about her LA experiences over the course of a month, she liked to recollect the experiences for as long as possible. Anyway, she talks about her cruise in Long Beach, and when she’s in a city with the name of “Long Beach” you obviously have to go on a cruise. As she reaches the docks, she notices the many ethnicities of different people there; it felt like she didn’t know what country she was in anymore. The top deck was quite hot, but started to cool down once the boat took off. She even wanted to do that Titanic thing (lulz). The hour seemed to pass so quickly as she was lost in thought aboard the ship. Great weather and the beautiful ocean was the best.
