Well I went to Disney Sea. It was pretty spectacular though I only got to ride like 3 things… lines are too long. I’m eating some olives right now, i found a jar for 300ish yen which isn’t really that bad considering they’re imports. I also got some moderately priced jams and [...]

Kamakura

So today I spent about twice my daily budget, but it was well worth it. I met up with a group of exchange students at Kamakura, a town south of Tokyo that sits on the coast. It’s known for having the largest outdoor Buddha in Japan. It was indeed quite a large Buddha. We also [...]
Disney Sea?

Apparently I’m going to Disney Sea in Tokyo next week… I suppose I was passively peer pressured into going, as apparently there is a large group of international students going. What the hell, I’ve never been to a Disney park of any kind so we’ll see what the fuss is all about. [...]
Sushi

Well, I’ve now had Japanese sushi. Had some from the gourmet grocery store here called Foodium, which was quite good, then tonight I had some from a take-out sushi place called Chiyoda which was also good and quite cheap. It was 20% off because it wasn’t super fresh anymore, being sold at 7pm. So maybe [...]
Things I’ve noticed

At first I thought that pinkish purple hair was just in with the older female crowd here, then I realized that they must have some pretty awful hair dyes… I think they dye it black but it fades to really glowly kind of purple.

I won the lottery! The housing lottery at William and Mary that is. I’m living in a Lodge! They’re some of the most sought after housing on campus. Plus I’m living there with a bunch of guys from my Freshman hall who I really like spending time with… so it’s like [...]

Mild depression sets in. Expected state of affairs after two weeks of on and off boredom combined with a somewhat deprecating placement in classes. I think I may buy some chicken tonight and cook it to cheer myself up. I did borrow a guitar that apparently floats around the dorm for 20 minutes and played [...]

Well, today was the opening ceremony, of which I understood about 1/3 at best. After that was a campus tour which I took as an opportunity to meet a few more international students as well as some members of KOSMIC a group that’s really all about international student and japanese student relations. We also got [...]

Food here thus far:
It’s been an adventure, it’s really hard to figure out what I’m eating because half of the names of stuff are written in kanji I don’t know. So I’ve been questing to learn what stuff is. I really expected most of the food here to be fish, because that’s what [...]
