Last weekend, I went to see The Phantom of the Opera in Tokyo. Naturally, being in Japan, the entire play (songs and all) was done in Japanese. Naturally. Except that I wasn’t ready for that. I thought it would be a U.S. touring show. Silly me. The play was still a killer show. I was a little sad because I… Read more »
So this weekend I finally did it, I hiked Fuji. I’ve got lots of great pictures to show you all, but only 1/2 are digital, so you’ll have to wait a few more days for all the pics, but here are a few tid-bits for those who can’t wait, here are some details and pics:
On Monday I finally went in for some acupuncture. It took me a while to find someone who speaks English in my area. Most are up in Tokyo. It sounds like a lot of businesses in Tokyo actually have English speaking personnel. Anyway, I thought you all might like to hear what Japanese acupuncture is like in Japan. Keep in… Read more »
Sorry for not writing in a while, I’ve been so busy with work and the summer has finally arrived, so I’ve been going out more. I don’t understand why so many people hide behind the gate here on base. The culture is different, but not that hard to figure out (only the language – oh, and the food!). I thought… Read more »
For my birthday, I went to Tokyo Disneyland! I couldn’t have asked for better weather! Everyone kept telling me it was going to pour, but it was bright, sunny, and about 75 degrees! The first nice day since I’ve been here. Tokyo Disneyland is very similar to our Disneyland out in Califoria. I was told by a mother at school that the… Read more »
Until my next real blog, I wanted to share some pictures with you. Enjoy! My last class went on a field trip to the Aquarium in Shinagawa. And all the moms had cameras galore! These are some of the cuter pics. I don’t think you want to see the ones of me saying “get back here!”
Ok, so this may not be as glorious or exciting as my other e-mail updates, but I know everyone has been curious to know what job I would take up while here in Japan. First, let me apologize to those of you who I told I would talk about food next. I’ve been so busy with getting this job that… Read more »
Hello again to all my friends back in the states! Things are rolling along here rather well. I finally got moved into my apartment here on base, got my phone and cable internet hooked up, and had my first Japanese Earth quake. It wasn’t too bad, but it lasted a good long while, plus I’m up on the 8th floor… Read more »
Konnichi-wa to my firends from the purple risu (squirrel) here in Japan! (See? I’m learning Japanese already! LOL!) This one will have to be a short update since I’m in the library on base, but I thought I’d put out a little more info in responce to my last blog’s comments. I have started taking pictures now that I’ve started… Read more »
I made it! I am here, safe and sound, in Yokosuka, Japan. Of course, it rained as I got off the plane on Friday the 13th. Then, we had to play tetris to get all of our luggage into the tiny little vans they have out here. Once that was all done we made it to our hotel and were… Read more »
