Hello y'all. Yes, today Monday 11/27/06 is the last day of classes of my first semester in Japan. It was a very hectic day. Me being the procrastination master put myself in a position in which I had to memorize a presentation for a poly sci class and a speech in Japanese. Oh, I had to write the speech as well. But, I have to say it was kind of fun. I guess I did it on purpose. Now before you write me off as some nut, let me explain. Obviously, I experienced a lot of pressure trying to get my work done. But I get an adrenaline rush I suppose from it all. One of the only other times I feel this way is before a Track or XC race. So you see, I miss the excitement and pressure of athletic competition and therefore this is my substitute.
Yea, did anyone buy that? Thought not. Yup, I'm just lazy...
Anyway. I did nothing this weekend. I actually spent a lot of time studying Japanese, which helped me a lot with doing my speech. Oh, I did go out a few times. Friday, I went to Thai restaurant and got pork that was quadrupled deep fried until it was rock hard. I seriously thought I was eating bones. A waiter told me it's supposed to be this way, as he laughed. Yea, not that tasty. But, I felt I did accomplish something when I helped my friend, a fellow beginner Japanese student, talk to the staff of the restaurant and get them to turn down the AC. In Japanese of course. Haha, yes we still use AC here in Japan on November 27. So much for the Kyoto Protocol...
Hmmm. What to write. Oh, I know. The Japanese language! I want to say that if I was God and wanted to create the perfect language, it would not be Japanese. For instance, having three different writing systems can be a bit confusing and well, non-nonsensical. And the Kanji, all the complicated little drawings, some have so many meanings it's ridiculous. It is not uncommon for a Japanese person to not be able to pronounce another persons name when it is written down. The person has to tell them how to read it because all the symbols could have so many different sounds that you couldn't figure it out on your own if you tried. You could have a very common name, but use some obscure Kanji that no one knows. Also, many sounds have dozens of Kanji, so writing a persons name without knowing their Kanji could be impossible. Some of you may have heard of engrish, which is messed up english that Japanese people speak because they can't emulate the sounds of native english speakers that well. Japanese has only a handful of simple sounds. English has more. A lot more. Let's just say that the best the Japanese can do with the word "McDonald's" is Makkudonarudo. Yea, say that ten times real fast. I find it funny that sometimes when Japanese people try to say english words I have no clue what they are saying. And there are a surprisingly good amount of english words that have been absorbed into Japanese. More on this next time, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope every ones Thanksgiving was well. I went through a million different plans before I randomly decided what to do on Turkey Day. Well, first off, I didn't have Turkey. After much debate, I decided to head for a Lebanese restaurant, but they were closed for a private party. So we went to a Tex-Mex place and got nachos and tacos. It was too good. The inside was like an old Texan saloon and the quality of ingredients in the food was superb, especially for Tokyo. Definitely a great Thanksgiving meal.
By the way, I spent a good portion of yesterday in a section of Tokyo called Harajuku. It is a popular place for adolescents and teenagers. There are a lot of clothing stores here, but trust me, most of them normal people do not shop at. Most of the items are crazy gothic clothes with skeletons and demons and have curse words written on them. Strange stuff everywhere. A good number of people dressed in these clothes were walking around too. There is normal stuff around, but it's not that good of quality. Apparently there are good deals to be had, but I found nothing that enticed me at all. Tokyo is just not a place to shop. The good stuff is way too expensive (a good winter coat starts at $250 in the department stores and that's cheap!) and the stuff on sale in the little shops is junk.
It's finally getting colder here (cold is like around 50). Actually, tonight I think we may have gotten in the 40s. The leaves are finally falling of the trees. And the sun goes down so early here, like 4:30. I have my last day of classes Monday. Exams officially start Thursday. I'm taking one on Monday early, got one on Thursday and Friday, then I should be done. I have to write two papers that I want to finish next week sometimes as well. Oh yea, a presentation on Monday too. Wish me luck!

Countdown: 2 weeks left...
Hey everyone. As the title suggests, yes, I do have 2 weeks to go in this semester. Can't believe I'm almost half way through my time here!
Anyway, no matter what I'm still trucking around this country. Last Thursday I went out to Tokyo Bay. I rode on an El-train, which was great. It was getting close to dusk and you could see all of Tokyo from the train. It took you out onto a whole bunch of artificial islands in the middle of the bay. These used to be used primarily for shipping and ports, but are now assimilated into the rest of the city. So for this reason, everything here is new and cutting edge. I had a great time out here, lots of nice shops and interesting sights. I went up the world's second largest Ferris Wheel and past through a giant Toyota show room, where I saw their F1 car. They also had a test track the wound around the inside on the building and went outside, in which you could drive around on in a new Toyota. What made it neat was that it was multi storied. Inside, it climbed up 2 or three stories.
Saturday I went to Akihabara, the electronic, video game, and nerd capital of Japan. It's outrageous here. This is where all the weirdos come and hang out. People dress up in crazy costumes. I saw one guy in a WWII Japanese uniform. He had his hair cut in the style of the time and had a Hitler mustache. He looked too authentic, I really thought I went back in time when I saw him, I can't describe the feeling. A lot of people dress up as French maids here too. Mostly girls, but some guys too. And they aren't your typical black and white outfits. They are all colors of the rainbow and can get crazy ornate.
I was here primarily for a "field trip" (note use of quotations). My Japanese teacher wanted to go to something called a Maid Cafe (she's a women by the way). It's pretty much just a cafe except only young girls work there and they dress in French maid outfits. They also do cutesy things and other gimmicks to please the fans. Demand is high for these places, as we waited an hour and a half to get in. When we got in, I was surprised that there were a good number of women eating there, but also the typical weirdo Japanese nerd guys who love this stuff. Don't worry, I won't be back.
We left after we ate, and walked around the crazy shops. I felt strangely uncomfortable in them, surrounded by unknown electronics and old skool video games. I played Virtual Boy for heavens sake (VB is a rare video game machine made by Nintendo. It flopped because it was a head set only and it could only do video in red. It was 3D, but it made everyone sick. I got a headache after 5 minutes). Eventually we made are way to a Pachinko parlor to check it out. Pachinko is a Japanese gambling machine game. It's a combination of pinball and slots, kind of. I have a video where you can see it in action. Anyway, it interesting to note that it's illegal to gamble or something in Japan. So when you win, you turn in your Pachinko balls (like coins from slots) for a prize, instead of money, because that would be illegal. Then you take the prize to a random, shady booth around the corner and down a dark alley and exchange it for cash. This is legal apparently. We didn't play and left after we started getting sick from the cigarette smoke. Did I ever mention that the Japanese are crazy for smokes? Everyone smokes it seems, I've never seen anything like it in America. They have cigarette vending machines everywhere, which allow anyone to buy cigs, by the way.
Our teacher took us out to eat at a traditional Japanese restaurant, which was great. Then I headed out to Ebisu with some friends. Ebisu is the beer capital of Tokyo, because it where a lot of breweries are. So there are lots of nice bars and restaurants here. I went to an English pub, because my one friend, who had lived in Tokyo as a kid, new a family friend who was playing music that night in the pub. It was Mississippi Bluegrass. He was good. The guy apparently has lived in Japan for 20 years and teaches at a Japanese University. But he has such a thick Southern accent that it's hard to believe. I left later and ate at Lebanese restaurant with a friend, who was half Lebanese. It was great.
Ok, I wrote a lot again. I'll just say the rest of the week was boring to save space. I'll leave off with a few videos then. Haven't posted any in a bit. Sorry if they're boring or something. I still haven't gotten around to video taping myself. I'll put up pictures in the next update.
Here's a view of Tokyo from the Ferris Wheel in Odiaba:

Chillaxin
It's been pretty easy going here since I got back from my island last weekend. This past weekend, I didn't leave Tokyo, but I still enjoyed myself.
Being in alpha world city like Tokyo (the only others are London, Paris and New York) means, among other things, that there is lots of good food. For some reason, I've really gotten into eating different kinds of food (nothing crazy or extreme) while here. Last Friday I did Thai at a place near my school. Scrumptious. The next day I tried Korean BBQ, which was an interesting experience. You order strips of beef and grill it yourself in the middle of your table. It was quite good, plus we ordered a lot of rice, including this special spicy vegetable rice in a stone bowl (I like spicy food by the way). Also, the restaurant was on the 8th floor of a department store. Seriously, department stores in Japan do everything. You name it, they sell it or offer some kind of service. I went in one last weekend that had a full gourmet supermarket in the basement. They had an ice cream shop in one corner, of which I paid a visited. Speaking of ice cream, this weekend, I went to Haagen-Daas, which is also quite good. I had these huge chunks of brownie in my cone, plus all the other sundae stuff. I still got to try Coldstone here, it's close to my school.
I go to Starbucks every so often, but not for coffee. Hot Chocolate. I have a friend I go with sometimes who likes hot chocolate, so we both get that. Plus, Starbucks has cocoa dispensers on every floor (most Starbucks' are multistoried), so I can make it super chocolaty. I don't eat out all the time however. I learned to cook a good amount too. I specialize in Japanese curry, pasta, steaks and chicken. My cooking is pretty elementary; I don't scour the city looking for ingredients. But I impress myself and that's what matters ;-)
I haven't just talked in awhile about living here; I've been too descriptive of what I do I guess. So, indulge me as I rattle:
A kid in my dorm got drunk, went crazy and, among other things, sprayed the fire extinguisher all over the hallway, then funneled it under a random girl's room and coated the inside of her room with whatever is in those things. I don't know how he was punished.
My running friends will be happy to know that I still run, lol. This week I did 2 workouts. That's right, haha. First one was 3 1000s and second was 5 400s. Nothing serious (because I am out of shape), but decent times I suppose. The wind of the track is crazy though. Worse then Center Valley wind. Probably because the track is along a big river near Tokyo Bay. Anyway, I was doing well with my 400s on Tuesday. The last one I decided to run quite hard. Sometimes when I do this I close my eyes. I made the mistake of closing my eyes around the turn after the 200m mark and drifted off the track. The infield is higher than the track (it has a curb lining the first lane). Because my eyes were closed, I stepped up on the infield and that completely threw off everything. You don't realize how fast your going until you get out of control like me. So when I did this, I got crazy out of control and could not stop myself no matter what. It was as if I was thrown out of a moving car. I'm not sure how I fell, all I know is that I abraised my left hip and cut my hands a bit (it's a gravel track). I was so determined to finish my workout though that I sprang up as fast s I could and sprinted to the finish. I still did a 72, which I'll take after that. My hip and hands stung on my way back home though (2.5 miles). I'm ok now though :-) By the way, the track is in the next city, Kawasaki and it's horrible, but the only one around.
Sorry to mention more food, but I eat Spam for breakfast a lot. My mom sent some to me and it's good in omelette's. I found Tabasico Spicy Spam in Don Quixote (Japanese version of WalMart) and it's quite good.
I saw "Nightmare Before Christmas" in 3D last Friday. Pretty neat. It was in this mall right outside the entrance of Tokyo DisneyLand. I got gelati there, terre misu actually. Very good.
I saw Mt. Fuji for the first time from my dorm. It's gotten colder here, so I guess that clears up the pollution (at least in the morning). It's quite the site; I have a picture I'll post later. By the way, cold here is like high 50s, low 60s. It was 69 the other day.
This kid that bikes to school told me he saw a monkey walking on it's hands on a ball on his way to school. Twice. Seriously. I think I might start biking to school again...
I was on a train and I heard meowing. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Then I figured out this lady had cat in her purse. Bizarre...
I'm not a dog person (I prefer cats), but the dogs in Japan might change my mind. The breeds here are small, cute and people here groom them to the extreme. Plus they are super well trained. People let there dogs go wild in the park I run in and they never chase me. I'll have to take some pictures.
I watched an interesting Japanese movie in my Japanese Culture class called 'Go.' It's about people of Korean descent living in Japan. They came here during the colonial era of Japan, when Japan ruled Korea. Anyway, it's interesting to know that these people are discriminated against and are not Japanese. By that I mean they are not Japanese citizens. Most of the Koreans came over before World War II. So, you could be a 4th generation Korean living in Japan, speak Japanese perfectly (and not know any Korean) and blend in fully well, but you cannot become a citizen and have to carry around an alien registration card (like I do). Japan has a ridiculous immigration policy, but this is beyond bewilderment.
By the way, I run a lot still because I'm too afraid of getting fat and out of shape. I think that I'd rather kill myself on the track and have my legs fall off then get fat.
Well, that's it for now. I'm heading out to Tokyo Bay tonight to see the sights; apparently it's where most of the new development in the city is happening. They have a giant Ferris wheel there and a giant sculpture of something ridiculous, like a boot or hairdryer or something. There's also a scale replica of the Statue of Liberty and a beach. But your not allowed to go in the water because it's too polluted.

Where has the time gone...
Wow, I'm sorry. It's been awhile. I do have an excuse though. A 'busy' weekend lead into a busy school week which lead into a three day get-away trip. And now I'm back. As usual, click on the above pic; they tell better stories (most are the same as the facebook pics btw). So what did I do...
Ok, 2 Wednesdays ago, I had off from school. During the day, I took a field trip with my Japanese Culture class to the Studio Ghibli Museum. Studio Ghibli is a very famous Japanese animation studio created by Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki's movies are very popular in Japan and throughout the world. I enjoy all of his movies. If you are familiar with his movies and ever get to Japan, go to this museum, it's fantastic. I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, so no pics inside, lol.
That night, the weekly Tokyo English speaking magazine 'Metropolis' was hosting a Halloween party at a club in Roppongi, the part of Tokyo where all the foreigners hang out. The party was called the Glitter Ball. I went. Most people dressed up, some went absolutely crazy with their costumes. I went as a...um, never mind that. I don't know what I dressed up as or why. I needed a costume quick, so bought some random stuff for 12 bucks and improvised, lol.
Saturday I went to Ginza, the premiere shopping district in Tokyo. I did not buy anything. That night, I went here. Here's some quick facts about Tokyo. 1. The club scene is huge in this city. 2. Trains (subway, regional rail, everything, etc.) all stop around midnight and do not resume until around 5 - 5:30 a.m. Let's just say I've never seen such a busy city at 4 a.m. then I did in Roppongi last weekend. At one point, I went to a fast food restaurant that had three floors and there where no seats.
Last week, school was tough I suppose. 2 tests, 2 papers and a presentation due in three days. No sweat. Both tests A, presentation A, paper A-. Waiting for the last paper. Boo-ya.
I had Friday off, so Thursday night I took a flight to an island near Tokyo called Hachijo-jima and went camping for the weekend. It wasn't bad; I hiked up two volcanoes, saw all sorts of nature stuff, sea cliffs, traditional Japanese stuff, etc. I took the trip because I just wanted to see the ocean, with mountains and cliffs, in a natural setting, not the toxic waste pool that is Tokyo Bay. Next time I go though, I'm renting a car. Everyone else on the island drove up the mountains, almost to the summits. I hiked everywhere and it hurt.
Ok, one month to go this semester. Time flies by past.
