Week One

Well another week of living in Japan is in the books. The thing that I am starting to realize is that not much changes around here. The faces and places might shift but being a Navy town there are things that will always be constant. The higher than usual concentration of restaurants, convenience stores, and bars a block off base. The weather which is currently "sticky" not very warm but humid enough to make one uncomfortable.

The food was standard fair for me. Tonkatsu near base, Ramen, Pizza, Thia, Za Watami all good food.

On Saturday Dave, Bryan and I went up for a half Tour de Tokyo. This was mostly the same sites as usual, Asakusa, Akihabara, Shimbashi, Daiba. We did go to the 47 Ronin grave sites in Tokyo. There is a movie coming out next year which I am sure like most movies will do an accurate job portraying the facts. Basic honor revenge story. Pictures below.

Week One June 2011

Happy Fathers Day - June 19th

Nice and cloudy here today, slept a lot. Rolled my ankle a little bit, hurts but it will be fine. Had my favorite curry at Nirvana's for lunch. Went to dinner at a Restaurant called Family Garden, basically like a Denny's. As it was fathers day here it was packed, took around an hour to get in. Had the Japanese version of Pizza which is different but still very good.

Back in Japan - June 18th

Another successful trip. I will fill in the details later, however it was nice that I was on a flight that took off prior to the United computer system failure.
