The Days we Remember

It is officially my last day in Tokyo...for a month. It's been a good time with many ups and downs. Regrettably I haven't kept up with my writing of course this is mostly for my brilliant memory.

A lot has happened in the past few weeks - The Jesse Era - My first apartment search - Sara's one liner that led me to Saitama..after one day - The disappearance of Ovi - Takadanobaba good byes - fun times in Odaiba with Jared - The top of the Metropolitan Government Building - A second trip to Ueno - The strees of exam (and a practically well done job) - The chaos and the opportunity to go home.

It's been a good time, yet there is room for improvement - what important for me is that I continue pressing forward and continue on so that I can make the best of Japan before my time is up.

I've met good people and I've grown up with them here, all in all let us look to the future

Hmmm

Seems I've been a bit slacking in my posts.

Lots of school work lately, lots of time spent in shibs, and the rest at home.

Basically finals are coming up really soon and I've got to prepare. Besides that pulled a 7 day which was pretty fantastic - finished "Band of Brothers" which was amazing. Of course kept in line with politics - pretty messed up right now.

Personally I feel for Adnan whose business is essentially dependent on the USD and with the Yen so strong it kills sales, at least on exports.

Time to do my paper on Alexander Lukashenko!

Takatastic time!

school as usual until late. after that Jesse and I took the bus to Shibs got some wendys and talked to Jack and the normals at the spot for a little bit. We then decided to go back to Takadanobaba and just hang out - somehow I ended up talking to Natsumi so we decided to play a prank on her - I had Jesse text her in perfect Japanese making her think I had learned - we got her to call and then we just passed the phone back and forth - absoultely halirous. "How did your japanese get so good, why didn't you tell me, how did your learn" it was an experience. After that we ran into Teddy in the lobby who was just hanging talking to new rentee's.

We worked our way to the mid section of baba, checked out the pubabuba but it was pretty slow but we ran into this guy and started doing the Obama rain check where you basically just say his name and positive things. So he took us to another spot and treated us - he's a comedian and famous kickboxer in Japan - so he and his friend then showed us "true japanese..." took us to the spot and the man dropped 2k on the business man talking thing - it was insane! After that we went to shinjuku...Erika blah. Went back home and slept

A new world, A new president - Barack Obama

Tonight President Obama has made a speech that will unify a world. He has shown his virtue and his value and I know that he will change America for the better by listening to American's and working with them

This is a day I will never forget when a country so long divided has joined as one and America has shed new light upon itself.

President Barack Obama you have done it, and I will support you fully as my President.

God Bless America!

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS SINCE JANUARY
