Ooh, I so japanese. Victory pose needed if I not wanted to look gaijin!

And I otaku-sized the young boy. He transformed into a Naruto fan. It was scary, he added "Da ttebayo" to every phrase.

Edit - didn't have to go after all, so...

Yeah, the boy liked to pose as Ultraman. For some reason, even though its old as hell, Ultraman is a BIG hit among young boys in Japan... so he posed as him a lot. Then he discovered Naruto (I watched it every wednesday after school) and he started posing all ninja... he got his mother to buy him a Konoha headband and so he'd wear it along with his bright orange pajamas around the house, screaming stuff like "Ore wa Naruto dattebayo!" and so forth... it was cute. He got really scared during that filler in which some guy pulls his heart out...

I couldn't wear the kimono to any event 'cause it was fucking raining during the week I could wear it... a good-quality kimono is around 3,000 dollars, so needless to say I couldn't afford one. That one is my host mother's sister's kimono, supposedly a special one you wear for really special ocassions... such as weddings (when you aren't the one getting married, of course) and your 20 year old birthday, 'cause that's when you start being an adult in Japan.

I became 20 years old while being there, so they allowed me to wear it ^_^
