... then headed to bed somewhat early since I have to be up for a 5:45am phone interview. I applied to work at two summer camps through WISE (Women In Science and Engineering) this summer. She only had time to talk at 1:15 or 1:45pm EST so I picked the later one and have set my alarm for an early morning conversation since we are 8 hours behind the east coast right now.

... polka ludi pozerala na ohnostroj od zachodov. Ten nakoniec zacal presne 19:30 a pocas skoro jeden a pol hodiny sa teda bolo na co pozerat. Uz ani neviem, kedy som naposledy poriadny ohnostroj videl. Avsak ziaden z tych, co som videl nemal viac ako pol hodinu. To je hlavny rozdiel oproti nasim "zapadnym". A v podstate jediny, co som dokazal odpozorovat. Vraj sa japonske od nasich lisia, ale neviem presne v com. Aj keby som si nejaky ...

... imagined. They where strawberry Cheetos. They were like plain cheetos but covered with strawberry yogurt. I had no choice but to try them. And yes, they where quite delicious. I think my sister would have loved them and I am going to try and bring a bag back to her, but I'm not so sure how well they will keep seeing that they will probably melt if it gets to hot. The worst part is they are seasonal as a lot of obscure foods happen to be here and so I don't know when they ...

... classical Japanese music with modern jazz; a tea ceremony; a jumble sale after complaints of no time to shop for souvenirs. At the top of the organisers' agenda was Article 9-a provision in Japan's post-World War II Constitution that outlaws a military build-up and/or the deployment of Japan's Self Defence Force outside the country. Conservatives and right-wingers inside Japan want to repeal the Article. Neighbours like China and Korea, who suffered ...

... The world would be united into a single nation and Japan would merely become a province. It is kind of true, given that globalisation is on everyone's lips and thoughts, and that Japan is a vassal state of the USA. 3) Developing nations would catch up with developed and industrialised nations. Maybe I should now help the UN write another optimistic declaration! 4) The Yokohama Stadium, home to my favourite baseball ...

... we all know and love. As I write this, at 5 in the afternoon, simply sitting in my apartment in front of my open window is enough to have not just a healthy sheen of perspiration, but actual DROPS OF SWEAT forming on my body. It means more laundry, because clothes get damp and stretched out of shape so fast. It means carrying around little face wipes to freshen up after the incredible exertion of walking all of the ten ...

... BBQ place near their house. We stayed out until about 11pm when Junya's Mum drove us home. As Junya's fish died when we were away (lack of food) his Mum was picking up the fish tank to take it to her house for his Dad. Junya had left it out the back so I went in the house to open the back patio doors. Although when I got into the living room I noticed the curtains were all closed. I had a really weird feeling. I noticed ...

A quick trip to Tokyo to start the trip. For those that don't know, I bought a Star Alliance Round the World Fare, departing from Japan, instead of North America, because it saved me just over $3000. Buying a separate ticket to Tokyo, return, from Seattle - at just over $900 above the main round the world ticket, was still significantly cheaper than starting my trip anywhere in North America. Plus, it had the added bonus of starting ...

... even possible to take cover. Heh, well, my hit-percentage was better anyway. Simple, but fun game for boys. ;D Later we went to Mr. Donuts to have, well, a donut and some ice coffee. Interesting to know that ice coffee in japan is exactly that: coffee on the rocks. No ice cream. Was good nevertheless due to the heat. At around 6 PM the nightlife starts when people go home from school and work and after 9 PM the temperature dropped finally ...

For Halloween, the Rocky Horror Picture Show was done. Frances,Shawna,and Kate went to the show. Their costumes were so awesome, they were invited to a party in January (Jan 28). So, I joined Frances and Shawna. I was really proud of my outfit. We arrived at the party a bit late cause we forgot the directions. It was fun. A night to remember.
