TUESDAY
It befuddled us a bit at first when we heard we were going to be treated to a free dinner by Asahi Terebi at our Harry Potter canteen - but it emerged that they were filming some programme about canteen food (much like the one we had in Singapore?) - only that they actually *provide* the food for us. So staged, isn't it? We just ate and got interviewed while eating anyway. Coming to a Japanese TV near you soon!

WEDNESDAY
Had classes till past 4, so we thought we'd hang out a bit at Ikebukuro. Starbucks was too crowded (the Matcha Frapp @ 440yen!) so we ended up at an Italian eatery where we had cheap "Moria" - probably just baked rice (299yen). It didn't fill us up so we headed for DIY monjayaki/okonomiyaki and drinks after that at a tiny place.
the "baked rice" - a steal at 299 yen!
monjayaki!
Rikkyo also has a high school and elementary school - couldn't resist taking a picture of the cute kids wearing identical jackets, shorts and squarish Rikkyo school bags:
And finally, my student ID and commuter pass that I got yesterday!
Take care everyone!
