One thing that I really like here is the smaller cobblestone streets with shops on them. Most of them have music playing in the streets. At first it kind of made me think of Disneyland - because the first street had the genki engergetic march that they always play when you first go into Disneyland. When I went shopping with the other interns the other day, I heard the most awesome song. One of the streets was actually playing Organ Fugue. You`d think the shops would go for something a bit more cheery. I actually loved it though. That is one of my favorite classical songs (depending on the day), so it was fun to sing one of the parts as I walked. Yes, I can sing along to a fugue.
A lot of places actually play music here. And a lot of it is the type of music I like. The mall where we go grocery shopping is always playing jazz, and I know that I know one of the songs. I hear it every time I go, but I still can`t place it. Maybe next time I should dictate it and ask my friends. Needless to say, it is kind of fun to go shopping with okaasan, both to see new things, learn new Japanese words, and feel like my life is a movie complete with soundtrack.

I have even heard from the other interns that there is a place they shop where they play Indiana Jones music. That is epic. Epic shopping=success.
