Hey guys! I came back from the mall and just as I said it was PACKED! Gosh. O_O I was kinda scared I'll be honest. Especially near the Apple store, the line was GIGANTIC, and when I say GIGANTIC I mean GIGANTIC. I bought some shirts, a watch and the third Dragon Box the Dragon Box was the highlight, great DVD box set at 25 dollars, instead of the usual 50. ^__^

Ah, the title? Well, yes it's true there were Japanese schoolgirls... LOTS of them. I went to the mall and noticed a school bus and thought nothing of it. Then I saw the Japanese school girls and went O_o what in the world? We don't get a lot of Japanese tourism here, if any at all, I'd say perhaps British tourists are much more common. Then I remembered the school bus and was like "doy, they're here on some sort of class trip" Then I was like "wait, why would they be what's special about today?" Then I remembered yet another thing... The Basketball Hall Of Fame induction! Scottie Pippen, and Larry Bird and a lot of other members of the Dream Team are here in Springfield. Like I said in my tweets, The Basketball Hall Of Fame inductions are the only time people even remember that Springfield, Massachusetts exists. What's with the Japanese visiting us? Well, here's where things get interesting, you see even though it's rare to have them visit us it's not without precedent (hence why I said rare and not said it's the first time it ever happened) because our sister city is in Japan. Springfield's sister city is Takikawa in Hokkaido, those students are from Hokkaido and because of this whole cultural exchange stuff, they came over, I guess they were shopping for souvenirs or something, when they were at the mall.
