In this world, not everything will be won by justice. If you want to win, you have to learn how to cheat a little bit! - Takagi Yasushi, NANA

Well.......how is it? I think maybe it's a bit difficult to read in some places, so let me know if anyone has an idea to fix that. Also, while I'm thinking about it, Dad, the left side of the page thing isn't a formatting problem everyone's site is like that. Mine's just more pronounced since I use a picture and not a solid color background. So, today is Culture Day in Japan. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but if it weren't on a Saturday we'd get a holiday for it. There's a big festival going on downtown this weekend and people from all over the world come perform. Supposedly there are acrobats and some really spectacular stuff, but last night all I saw was clowns and some freaking looking people who were all painted green. I've heard good and bad things about it from other people here so.......yeah, I think I'm staying home today. Maybe I'll go back out tomorrow and see how it is. Today I'm going to try to catch up on some stuff online and around the house. So now, here's some pics I should have posted a loooong time ago! First, a very famous place in Tokyo that I went (briefly) on my 2nd day in Japan. I don't expect most people to know it, but if you otaku don't I'll be very disappointed!

If you really have no clue, don't worry about it. It's a sign inside a train station and if you get the reference you'll be really excited. If you don't, even if I explain it you won't care. Just know that it's famous. Next is a group from my office when we went to Tokyo Disneyland in the end of September. It was really fun, but rainy and crowded.

Finally, the view from my front balcony now that the weather is turning cold and clear...

When I first got here people kept telling me, "you can't see Mt. Fuji now, but you'll see it in the winter" but a few times I saw it early in the morning and I thought, "oh well, it's just a big dark shape in the distance, that's not very cool." But.......now! Now I see what they meant! Here's a zoomed in view...

You can see the snow on top really well! It's so cool! I actually stopped on my way to the elevator and ran back inside for my camera the day I first saw it like this. You can't see it from just anywhere in the city, as you can probably tell from the first picture, b/c of all the buildings. I live on the 6th floor though so I've got a pretty good view of just about everything.

Well......I think I've only got a few more pictures to talk about from a long time ago, and then I'll have to go some more exciting places! Unfortunately now that school is really going, I spend most of my time working so I don't have a lot of fun things to talk about right now. Some people go out or travel a lot on the weekends, but.......I get tired pretty quickly recently. I guess I'm working harder than I realize. Anyway, when my brother gets here we'll definitely go to some cool places. That's all for now!
