So, in this situation, all of us decided to have sushi for dinner. It is a lot cheaper to get a large amount, but the issue came up of dividing all the good sushi with the 10 people. Well, like all problems in Japan, the only fair solution is to play "Jan-Ken", which is the Japanese version of Rock-Paper-Scissors. I'm not joking in any way when I say almost every problem is solved by this method!
So, in this video someone nominates a sushi, and then the people that want to eat it play Jan-Ken to see who can eat the available 4. It was a hilarious meal! Also, here is your chance to experience the dynamic of a Japaneses gathering of friends. It's also worth pointing out that having bi-lingual conversation is quite normal with upperclassmen. We can all understand each other in our own language (for the most part ^_^)
For those that are curious, what they are saying is "Seishyo wa gu. Janken poi!" to start. At a draw, you say "Aiko desho!" and play another hand until a winner is decided. You'll notice it gets shortened to "desho, desho, desho" because there was no winner for a while. Being able to judge a game is very difficult, but I'm getting better at being able to keep up with the speed they play the game. I play this game, at a minimum, once a week, so it doesn't take long before you get used to it.
And sorry Mandy, I'd explain how I got the video from you, but it would take more than 10 minutes! ^_^ I'll give you a hint: HTML source! HAHAHAHA!
