Yokohama Kokusai Hotel

... for the next day. I ended the night writing papers for my classes. I got my two papers for physics for mariners finished that were about the ports that we have visited. I chose to write on Spain and Morocco since they were vastly different. I also started another two papers about the electric energy museum I "visited" in Tokyo and an energy report on Spain. I have two more papers to complete before Guatemala but I decided to work on them after Hawaii.

... sa dalo dufat. Na vyhliadku na 69. poschodi (zo 70) najvyssej budovy sme sa vyviezli najrychlejsim vytahom na svete (12.5m/s). Za tuto srandu (a samorejme skvely vyhlad na Yokohamu) sme vytiahli tisicku na osobu. Vytah sam o sebe az taky zazitok nebol, uz som sa viezol pomalsimi, v ktorych mi bolo o dost viac zle. Tak aspon ta vyhliadka trochu napravila dojem. Nebola sice najuzasnejsia, ale cakal som horsie. Ale dufal som, ze vyhliadka ...

... impossible, we are human after all). If we finish one worry, we go onto the next, and the next, and the next, until oneday life passes you by. If someone comes up to you and asks "what did you do during your whole life?" Do you want to be the one answering "worrying about getting where I am..." That's ironic....hmmm "so what did you get out of it? " And the response may be, " I don't know, I am still worried about tomorrow." Exactly! You get more worries....you get more stress ...

... Japanese men on how to pick up and do white women (tucked away among manuals on how to have male homosexual sex, and manuals for every other sexual fetish), I`ve wondered through alleyways and alleyways of the do-it-yourself computer makers dream, I`ve been to Japan`s anime and manga Mecca and seen no small amount of men dressed as women on TV and on the streets - in other words, not a dull day in Tokyo.

... His teacher, Mrs Hirata, put in much effort. She had her pupils draw two pictures. In between each pupil's picture was a blank sheet of paper, presumably to prevent the crayon from sticking on to the sheet above it and from possible damage. This is a remarkable sign of dedication. In addition, she had them create personalised and sealed envelopes which contained three items: handprints, a composition titled "What I ...

... playing Disney cartoons, and several children were crowded around to watch. Some children sat on the floor, while others sat on small child size couches. As it was too early for us to check in yet, my girfriend and I walked past the front desk and to the stairway that led to the hotel entrance to the park. At the entrance were two turnstyles attended by members of the hotel staff. The turnstyles were of the same type used by the various railway stations, we insterted our ...

... that has the little red scoop pf spicy stuff of top. And this stuff was SPICY. You have the option to mix in none, part, or all of the spicy stuff and we went for the gusto. As we were enjoying it, the owner came over and asked Chris if I had Spanish blood! Actually, this is not the first time this has happened to me. Must be my hair and ability to eat so much spicy stuff! The last thing we did before we left is try to take our ...

... and culture are ever present here. I am overwhelmed with how measured, efficient and honest the culture is. While there are twice as many people per square feet, there seems to be twice as much space in public areas than in NYC. And everything is immaculate, even the garbage trucks!!! I'll document all my other observations in another email. To check out daily pictures, check out http://www.photos.yahoo.com/jenniferbra ce.

Japan Day three August 8, 2006 This morning we woke up and had lunch at the hotel. It was very good. The rolls were so amazing and for the first time in a while I had coffee. After this we looked at the temple that surrounded the hotel. Then Maggie and I went to one of the other temples. It was really cool and we stopped for a snack in this coffee shop that was on the second story of this building that ...

... 1964 Olympic Games. It was no small task for Japan to claw themselves out from the ruins of war to be rich enough, forgiven enough, and prepared enough to host the Games. After our educational morning Miyoko suggested going to a place only a short distance away where there are hundreds of little shops. It was the best suggestion as I was able to get some fantastic presents for people when I was starting to doubt my ability to bring gifts home to my loved ones ...
