Tanuki

Here is a short movie of the Tanuki in Ueno zoo. The sad thing about Ueno zoo is that all their enclosures are so small and out-dated. However besides the usual animals you see at zoos they had some interesting animals from Japan and other places I had never seen before.
Ueno park is a nice place to visit, I hope next time I go it isn't dark and cold. But besides the park, Ameyoko-cho and some interesting shops there isn't much to see in Ueno haha.

Photos from my trip

Well I'm back in the US again.
The sad thing was I had unreliable internet access (locked with parental controls no less) at my place in Yokohama. Thusly I wasn't able to update at all.
Now I've pretty much lost any interest in writting up a report.

So please take a look at my pics from Japan!!


Also feel free to browse the pictures at my Flickr album Here!!

Small update

Haha, Its been so long since Ive written anything...Its kind of hard to know what to write now!

Well I have had trouble accessing the net so thus my lack of updates but I have done many wonderful things! Living in Japan is very interesting.

Ok I will talk about today then:
First I went to the Volks Show Room in Yokohama, its really close to the west exit of Yokohama station so its not very hard to find. I was really happy to discover the had a large portion of the store dedicated to Super Dollfie. So I bought a wig and grabbed some free wet tissue packets with Amakusa on them hehe! Oh also I visited the Harajuku Tenshi no Sumika which was really nice and I bought my Dolpa 18 guidebook so I can get into the Dolpa.

After that me and Shouma went to eat gyudon at Suki-ya, and it was pretty tasty and the bill was only 1000yen then we went to a department store and I played around on the toy floor while Shouma sat in a massge chair haha. I bought some more Gashapon, which I am buying all the time since machines are everywhere haha

My favorite thing is trying out new food especially breads. I have eaten so many kinds of melon bread, regular, chocolate chip, cream inside, strawberry. Ive seen Chocolate and coffee flavor, but havent tried. Suffice to say I gained 3kg T_T

Sadly I cant upload any pics since this isnt my computer...but I will when I get back home in 2 weeks!

Countdown

Plane Tickets

Well I can say it's official: I'm going to Tokyo.
I have my plane tickets which are non-refundable and cannot be canceled so I had better be ready to get to Tokyo on Nov. 2nd. This is my first flight alone, not to mention to a foriegn country. So I decided non-stop was the way to go, even though it cost a bit more.

With plane tickets out of the way there are plenty more things to take care of, but luckily I have 5 weeks to get everything all settled. There aren't going to be many posts here until I'm actually in Tokyo, but I promise to make a few update haha.
So until something interesting comes up, Ja ne.
