I decided to go to Harajuku today since I learned that it costs the same (about 300 yen ~ $2.75) to go to Shinjuku as it does to go to Shibuya from my house… and walking to Harajuku to Shibuya is just about a 20 minute stroll up north. I’m poor, so I can’t [...]

Ah, so you have arrived in Tokyo and are ready to get going huh? Good!

Today Japan defeated Tunisia to make it to the best 16, for what I think is the first time ever. Japan showed a powerful display of kicking, and passing, corner kicks and whatnot to take a 2-0 win over Tunsinia. I am not a soccer reporter.

This is a soccer shop in Shinjuku I happened to be walking past during the America-Korea game. They have a projection TV on a screen near the door. For those of you in the States, did you even know we were playing Korea? If I were still in the [...]

Today I went to Tachikawa to try to find an ATM machine where I could get some cash from my American bank accounts… no luck! Bank cards suck. I tried Citibank, and even the ATM machines inside the shopping ‘paradise’ which is Takashimaya. If I could find a way to spend money [...]

First things first. My host family has a cable modem, and a wireless access point upstairs. My host dad let me borrow a wireless LAN card, so I’m very comfortable on the internet access front….
Getting here was tough! Right from the start I was having trouble. My flight was canceled, so I had [...]
