Oh wow

Yeah, so I'm sorry.

I just looked at my album and apparently I really haven't uploaded any pics since the trip. Including not actually putting up the 花見(Cherry Blossom Viewing) pics. Wow.

I am really off my game.

So I just uploaded a bunch of pics (that may soon be reduced in number because I know my parents look at them) so get 'em while they're hot.

And since I didn't do much today, I think I'll talk about a few of them, as to have a not-rambling blog for once!

Here goes:



One of my favorite posters in Beppu. Sarcasm doesn't actually exist here, so nobody really knows the connection between that expression on the girl's face (it seems much more stoic in person) and the phrase "Nice Going". Priceless, Japan. Truly.




This is a park that they've been working on since I got here. Almost literally since I got here. About two weeks after I showed up they started digging the foundations, and they've been working on it through winter the cold fall and early spring, and only now have almost finished. They've got the concrete flower shelves, the sidewalks, and the benches in there, and are waiting til the grass finishes growing in before they put the finishing touches on and open the place up to the public. Should be nice. All you can do now is walk by, check the time on the huge clock, and write down the location of the strip club that is advertised on the side of the plot.






Puppies! Cause why not. I want a Yorkshire Terrier. Don't try to talk me out of it, you can't.



These pigeons were fighting. My iPhone doesn't record video, unfortunately, but it was hilarious.



Yeah, it gets REALLY foggy in the mountains.

And that's about it for now. Check out the cherry blossom pics and enjoy.
