Cold Water does not Kill Germs
The season is here in Japan. The season where people's faces disappear under white masks and a general malaise of misery hangs around. It's cold and flu season. I haven't had a class where everyone was present for the past few weeks. Those absences have been getting higher the past few days. I thought I could dodge the bullet. I was wrong ( Read more... ) -

6 month report
I have officially been here for half a year. I can't really judge if time has flown by or gone by really slow. It varies each day. I've had ups and downs. Some days I feel great about what I do and others I want to pull my hair out. There are many things I am still clueless about and other things I am figuring out. So, I guess I will update you to ( Read more... ) -
Summer Sonic!
After a typical, albeit crowded, shikansen ride I arrived in Himeji. Emily picked me up and we headed to a Ghibli themed restaurant to have dinner with her friends.

Her friend Kameron accepted the ( Read more... ) -

I haven't had too many issues with the rainy season. I have detected no mold or any other strange growths. The rain has not made me gloomy. The rain feels ( Read more... ) -
Pirates and Fans
Well, after a nice two hour skype chat with Brendon I decided to act on my decision to go to the movies. I wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4!! This was after I established the movie was in English with Japanese subtitles. I was afraid they would dub over it in Japanese! Dubbing makes me angry. You don't learn a language by dubbing over ( Read more... ) -
All ways lead to the Way
This is Taoist/Buddhist/All Eastern religion type philosophy. It means there is no wrong way to reaching inner peace and happiness (enlightenment). I try to remind myself daily. This may not be the easiest "way" I am on but it is not the wrong one. I've always sought harmony in my life. Now I am trying to find happiness. I am trying not to let the ( Read more... ) -
