I took the train from Tokyo station to Okayama on the super express to meet up with my friend. After getting picked up from the station, he took me around to see the sights briefly before we went to his grandmother`s restaurant for dinner. It`s a small restaurant with many regulars so it was pretty […]
Vicki`s Wedding Party

Vicki`s wedding was really neat. Since everything starts basically on time here, hers was punctual too. Unfortunately for me, I jumped into a cab with a driver without GPS or any concept on how to read the map to the wedding even though it:s supposed to only be a 3 minute cab ride. My 15 […]

So, yesterday the 5 of us wandered to Love Hotel Hill near Shibuya where we are staying and saw some interestingly colourful “hotels” where you rent rooms by the hour or by the night… Japanese people sometimes use them to crash if they have drunk too much and can`t make it home. The windows have […]

Here I am using Angela’s laptop using the free internet in her and Dustin’s room. We are staying at the most famous intersection in Japan. All 17 people arrived and Vicki lead us all to the hotel. Ate some cool Japanesey food already. We had a dish that looked like calamari to me but it […]

Last night Adam and I went to the preseason game against the Florida Panthers. It was pretty good watching because of all the excitement. The game ended 5 to 4. I thought we came out very strong in the first period with 2 goals. Then 10 sec into the second, Panthers scored and that seemed […]
