Japan

omgah. I bought a camera. I went to Tokyo. It was pretty awesome, but the food wasn't spicy enough, things were too expensive, and the bar scene was not nearly as good (just isn't the same without the drunken ajoshi herd stumbling home from the singing rooms at 11 p.m. on a Monday.) It was exciting to be in a "new" country and to compare things to Korea (couldn't help it!!) but, all in all I am quite glad I chose Korea as the country where I am teaching. Tokyo-ites are not nearly as interested in foreigners as Koreans are and are not particularly fond of Americans (and rightfully so.) I was there for 6 days so that was enough to see pretty much everything I would want to see there. I put up lots of pictures on Facebook and maybe I'll edit this later and put some pics up here. I'm currently procrastinating studying but I don't want to get too carried away.

There is a new "announcer" truck near my apartment sounding off this morning.

I thought he was speaking English at first. This is because I have been living in a foreign country for that long.
