Soft Drink Challenge Part 46 - Japan

Listerine Light

The last Day of July

Hard to believe that 7 weeks are almost over. The time has flown, and it has not been as hot as I had thought that it would be.

I looked out over the bay today and saw a blimp on the skyline. After I got out of work I went to hope on my bike and realized that my tire was flat. After about an hour I finally got it fixed.

Dinner was Pepper Lunch, and very good. Then it was time to wind down.

After work I walked around the city streets for a while. The humidity was down from what it was earlier in the week.

Dinner was Mongolian Night at the CPO club. Still on the mind.

Smoothy

Tuesday 29th

Woke up still feeling sick, so I decided to go to the hospital to get checked out. After about 5 hours they let me go. I decided to lay low for the rest of the day. On the way to pick up supplies and lunch I saw my first secada, ugly looking bug.

After getting back to the hotel and taking a mid afternoon nap, I woke up and watched Amazing Grace. It is a very good film about the struggle to abolish slavery in the Untied Kingdom. If you haven't seen it, it is defiantly worth watching.

Choco Madness

Monday 28th

Another hot day in Japan. I am still on a liquid diet, so lunch was at work. For dinner we went to Italian Gardens to get some lasagna. It was very good, as is most of the food on base. The temps have only been in the 80's and it has been hard to get motivated to get outside. August should be fun. Saw more protesters today, these were very old Japanese people, and they were singing a song called Peace Peace Peace, Love Love Love. It was interesting.

Aloe Vera Peach

Sunday 27th

I had a little bit of a fever yesterday, got up to 102.5. By the time I woke up it was under 100.

After getting breakfast I headed on base to go to Church. After church I went to subway for lunch, and then the commissary for some supplies for the week. The heat index was over 100, so by the time I got back to the hotel room most of the Popsicle were melted. I should have taken a taxi, but that is knowledge for the future.

I had dinner at the CPO club and then watched Psych and Monk while winding the weekend down.

Sweet Sweat

Saturday 26th

Today we journeyed up to Costco in Yokohama. It was pretty much the same but different.

I think I may be the recipient of food poisoning so this post will be short. The afternoon I just slept and then ate some apple pie from Costco, it was very good.

Friday 25th

It was a DARK KNIGHT night. After work I meet up with a couple of coworkers and went and watched the new Batman movie. It was very DARK, but good. The new Batman movies are much better than the old ones. There were a few twists and turns along the way, but in the end it turned out okay.

On the weather side of things it was very muggy and hot today. I tried to stay indoors as long as possible.

WANNA FANTA ...

Thursday 24th

This morning was the first earthquake i had ever felt. at 0037 it was about a 4.5 local earthquake up north it was a high 5. At first I thought it was a dream, but it keep happening.

I got to work today and the detachment director calls me. He tells me how he saw me on TV last night. Unfortunately i missed my 5 minutes of fame on japanese national television, so keep your eyes open on youtube it may end up there.

It was korean bbq for dinner. we decided to try the 90 minutes all you can eat buffet. They challenged use to eat our own weight. That was the goal, but it didn't come to pass.

Jello Drink

Tuesday 22nd

Dinner was prime rib night at the CPO club, it was very tasty. The ride back from work was eventful. The derailleur folded into the spokes right before i got to the hotel. That made the back tire stopped immediately. If i wasn't on a straight it would have been bad. In a corner it would have sent the back tire out and me into traffic. The temp got into the 90's today but the humidity was low so it felt like 90 back home.
