We had a lecture on Fiscal policy today, which is my policy area, so I made sure to pay close attention. The lecture was interesting, but it was difficult to follow because he got well into the details that even a Daruis, a finance major, said things were difficult to decipher. The lecture was enjoyable for the most part. Afterwards we went to the U.S. Embassy for a meeting with an employee of the U.S. embassy. The meeting was very interesting. In the meeting we discussed the job of this man, which was to monitor the Japanese media and to report on it. It seemed like it would be an intersting career path to look into. To represent the United States at an embassy in a foreign country. After this we went home and took a nap to prepare for the all night adventure that we were about to embark on. We planned on attending an all night club and going to the Sushi market at 6 am. The club was crazy, there was three floors of the club each with a different theme. There was a top 40 floor, a house music floor, and a hip hop floor. The hip hop floor and the top 40 floors sort of rotated in their music styles, but all in all it was awesome. After we made our way out at like 5 we made our way to the fish market. Everyone was exhausted, but the market was awesome. There were massive tuna that were being auctioned off, as well as tons of other different types of fish. The view from the top of the fish market was a really good view, and afterwards we had sushi at this place right near the market. I really like sushi, but eating it at 7am was not fun. It cost 21 dollars as well, but over all the night and morning were alot of fun. I need to pass out now.
