Tell your friends

Apparently I should pay more attention to who wanted to keep updated on what I'm doing in Japan. I've had complaints from multiple people saying they didn't know I even had a blog. My bad.

Anyways Day 3. I should probably stop updating every day, but we'll see. When I have more to do I'll limit it. But for now let me just go into excruciating detail on my daily routine in Japan.

Freaking addicted to this karamuucho hot Chili potato sticks. Nom.

Also, til about 2 o clock this afternoon everything was cancelled.

Like being outside.

We got hit with a typhoon and had a severe lightning warning, so they made like 6 announcements over the loudspeaker telling us to keep our asses indoors. Apparently being on top of a mountain during a thunderstorm is bad for your health: who knew?

That was the main slice of Japanese life for today though. My speaking is getting better as I'm getting more used to talking to people with a different language. Mostly just workers still, I've only made a handful of aquaintances, and most of those are American or Dutch (yeah, that's right - they have windmills on their clothing).

Also? Dinner was awesome today. This chicken tokki yaki or something like that. Chicken Breast made in this awesome sauce, and came with potato wedges. Allegedly Japanese because this wasn't in the international cafe. Yeah, whatever. Also Royal milk tea is only 110 yen. And get this - produced by Coca Cola? Why don't we get this awesome stuff back home! I think I'm starting a petition to get them to produce the stuff in America. Market it as Coke Brand Flavored Iced Tea. I'd buy it by the gallon, or the liter, or the barrel; whatever they sell that shit in.

I forgot that I had pokemons with me. I wanted SOMETHING in my room and these were squishy and unbreakable, so I've got a pachirisu plushie and a turtwig plushie in my room now. God I'm so gay.

One last thing, cause I don't feel like writing too much right now. For anyone who comes to Japan, keep track of how much money you're spending. YOU GO THROUGH IT SO FAST. The smallest bill they make is the 1000 yen bill, which is ten dollars. But since its the smallest bill you carry a bunch around with you, and you tend to spend them all without thinking due to this. Along the lines of "Oh hey, that's only 700 yen? Yep I've got a bill here why not". And all the rest of the money below that is change, 500 and 100 yen coins. Being American I have little respect for coins and spend these like they're candy (you come up with a better analogy)

Oh well, a little more debt can't hurt.

Edit: ONE MORE THING! Before I forget, here's two videos for you. The first one is awesome cause it's awesome, the second one is awesome because I say it's awesome.

And to anyone who already listens to Clazziquai Project, I'm sorry for being behind the times.
