1-1-12 Minami Saiwai, Nishi-ku Yokohama, Kanagawa, Kanto, Japan, KA 220-000, 45-311-1682
I woke up early again this morning to finish studying for my physics for mariners class. The test was hard! My professor was a weather forecaster for the Italian military for many years so I had a bad feeling that he would be able to make an easy test. We had to read weather maps to determine the wind direction at certain locations, whether there are low or high pressure systems present, and to ...
Yokohama, Japan claudiv... we decided to go back to the hotel for an afternoon rest, and to go to the Landmark Tower when we woke up. And I am very, very thankful that my battery died at the zoo, because the Landmark tower view at twilight, and then in the dark, is the single best city view I have ever seen. We left our hotel a little after 5pm, which got us to the Landmark Tower at about 5:50pm, as we had to battle peak our ...
Yokohama, Kanto, Japan apat... back so you might not have to get sick. Does it work like that? I"m not so sure. Today: Today was great. We woke up at 6:30, barely and gathered all of the projects and games and presentations we had made for the children along with the guitar and the laptop. Becky took us to the train station and bought us all tickets and we set off to a place called Kogane. (No, spell check, that is how you spell Kogane!) After riding various trains for around 45 minutes or an hour we ...
Yokohama, Japan japanmc... this year, for example, there were "Sun, Moon and Stars" and "Antique Swedish Quilts", as well as the usual children's and traditional sections), and artists. It took me over three hours just to see everything! And let's not forget the vendors, which take up nearly as much space as the quilts themselves: everything related to fabric arts, from fabric and thread to buttons and sewing machines, you can find at the ...
Tokyo, Japan gadelle... reads like a tragic story. He had a constant habit of twitching his face and squeezing his hands. Together with his intellect, he was made a favourite target of bullies. His parents put him thorough a competitive cram school in Year 5. He proceeded to a prestigious middle school (Year 7 to 9). I went to the government-run middle-school in the neighbourhood. That was where we parted. He grew tired of being the good ...
Yokohama, Japan ryota... then walked to Ueno, and through the park that housed the National Tokyo Museum. The museum was fine, but we hoped to find older stuff. At first all of the paintings and sculptures were from the 17th and 18th century. We finally found the old section, and marveled at the weapons and jewelry from 3,000 b.c. By now we have realized that we are visiting Japan in their rainy season. The rain didn't stop our tour of the park, though. We walked through a ...
Tokyo, Japan philnshell... The name Himiko comes from an old Japanese Queen who ruled over the country of Yamato, which is now part of the Kyushu region of modern Japan. We thought it fitting that the woman be put in the position of power. We were pretty damn right. she's a bossy wee thing. The first week was tough. She wouldn't stop crying and Yamato ended up with the skits out of excitement of having another dog in the house. Since then it doesn't ...
Yokohama, Japan japanesewhisper... a complicated controller to squirt up water, adjust seat temperature, etc. I am scared to play with them. You have the choice of "big flush" or "small flush"- use your discrepancy. Again, very efficient. 11. People drive and walk on the left like in England. 12. Ambulances have sirens but also talk over a loudspeaker. No clue what they are saying. 13. Even if there is not a car in sight no one jaywalks. You stand and wait and use the crosswalk and move when the signal ...
Tokyo, Japan jenfifi... leg because he is conveinetly in the country for two years teaching English. Nick's girlfriend, Kelly, come for the Japan piece. As well as his little brother, Joe. So it is a party of 5 for Japan. Back to Tokyo. To give you an idea of what Tokyo is like take LA and NYC and stir them together for a while. Then make sure there is not one street that is parallel to another and observe that each building did not consult the planning and zoning ...
Tokyo, Japan anderslost... suchexpensive taste? It doesn't bode well for my later life when all I will want is the finer things in life. Oh to be a lady of leisure!! After enriching our mind once again it was time for lunch. We met my Uncle at his work and he took us to a quaint little (and I mean little) Indian place. I couldn't read the menu so I just asked for Madras... and the guy didn't understand what I meant? A Japanese Indian!! Very interesting. We all settled on individual set-o's and they ...
