Just another Monday 30th
Last Day of June.
A very long day at work, after work I went to the CPO club for itialian night again. It was very tasty.
On one of the buildings as I was walking out had a crow with its head in a vent. A small bird was attacking the crow. My guess was the small bird had a nest in the vent. Interesting.
The picture below is me and one of my coworkers with the Pastor from New Hope Yokohama

Sunday 29th
This morning I took a group to Kamakura. It was a good trip, but It was very wet. I tried Melon ice cream, and it was great. We got back to Yokosuka around noon. I picked up a sub on the way back to the hotel.
A coworker and myself went to New Hope church in Yokohama. It was crazy, very load. The pastor is Japanese so he talks and then an interperoter translates what he said. I was suprised how well it worked. They played a lot of the same music i was used to. The only difference is that the first verse would be in Japanese and then they would switch to English. Next week we are going to try the one in Tokyo out. Should be fun.
On the way back a guy got taken off the train for ripping a womens sleeve. It was interesting. I stopped at Pepper Lunch for dinner.
Another very long day.

Tokyo Saturday - 28th
A very long day today. I met up with two guys for breakfast at the hotel. I needed to head over to the cash machine for fundage for the trip.
Today we went to Akihabara and Roppongi. Akihabara is known as the "Electronics District" and Roppongi is known as the "International District".
To get to Akihabara we needed to take two trains from Yokosuka. It would have been two, but I pointed at the wrong platform so it was three. But that is the great thing about the trains here is that you just hope on the other train.
After walking around Akihabara for a while we went to Pepper Lunch for Lunch. I know crazy, but it was awesome. After lunch we headed out for Roppongi.
I finally found a Starbuck's in Roppongi, which was also very good. We headed to the big building in Roppongi, it was more expensive than I remembered but it was worth the price.
On the way back I saw an ice cream cone sign. So we stopped and got some delicious treats.
Then the ride back to Yokosuka, it took about an hour to complete the trip.
A very long travel day my feet are very sore. For dinner I went to Mongolian again, delicious as before. For dessert I got myself a McFlurry. It is good treat once and while.

Friday 27th
First day without training wheels at work. So far so good. One of the contractors who quit was brought back for the day.
After work I walked around for a while then met up with my old boss and his brother. After eating we went and looked at cars.
I finished off the night with watching Get Smart. My side almost split from laughter. It was the funniest movie I had seen in a long time. I would recommend it to everyone. Although I think the movie being 3 dollars may have had something to do with it. Especially on the day when the market fell a nice 400 points.

Tuesday 25th
After work i headed over to the mall and on the way i ran into a japanese tv crew. After talking with them for about 5 minutes i badly lost a variant of rock paper scissors. That was the most interesting thing that happened today. They appeared to be a comedy duo. One guy had a three string guitar. After i lost he played a song on it. It was pretty funny.
For dinner i went to a Chinese restaurant and had some pepper beef. It was very good.

No Rain 24th
It was a very nice day today. No rain and the humidity was fairly low. I went on a walkabout after work. Although I was tired earlier in the day than usual. This is because I went to the gym at 4 am. I was nice and awake during work, but after wards the early time set in.
For dinner a group of us went out to a pork cutlet place. It was owned and operated by a Japanese guy that loved Hawaii. He was naming all of the artists that he liked. One of our group grew up in Hawaii so they had a lot to talk about. It was an excellent deal, 10 bucks for a lot of food.

Yokohama Monday - 23rd
Another day at work getting the last turnover bits rapped up.
After work the other engineer and I headed up to Yokohama to go to Tokyuhands and Landmark plaza. It was a pretty funny trip, the train ride back was packed out.
The view at the top was the clearest out of any time I had been there previous. The elevator ride up had 4 people on it and the one down had 2. It seemed a little faster without all the extra weight.
We went to the CPO club for Italian night, it was awesome as usual.

Sunday 22nd Kiwi Time
About 2 AM the load speakers in town came on and said something in Japanese, then they said something in english. I was too asleep to hear what they said. But i was fully expecting an earthquake to come rumbling through. It turns out it was a warning for flooding.
Today was an extremely rainy day. But before the bulk of the rain hit, i met up with a few guys and went to HOMES. We got over to the place a little early so we walked around the park for about an hour. We were walking around inside HOMES looking at different things. They have a pet store inside. There was one cat that was attacking the window of anyone who would walk by. The prices for these pets were increadable they ranged from cat $700 - to dog $7000.
I bought a rain suit inside which is good because as soon as we got outside it started dumping. I put on the coat and went back to the hotel, by the time i got back i was soaked except for my torso so the jacket coat worked awesome.
I met up with a couple of people and went to pepper lunch for lunch. It was as always great. AFter lunch I headed to the Daiei mall. I did some grocery shopping. The first thing i noticed when i walked in was a very large kiwi display. They were giving away samples. The price was decent about 50 cents per kiwi so i got 10 of them. They came in a little basket with a kiwi logo on the side. And they threw in three kiwi tools. which is made up of a knife on one side and a spoon on the other. Very cool.
I went to church and ran into a couple of coworkers. After the service we got a ride back to the hotel by someone who works on base. I called up one of the guys and we went out to Mexican for dinner. It was pretty tasty. One the way back to the hotel the rain had lightined a lot, but that just means it is saving up for tomorrow.

Tokyo - 21st
Went to Shibuya today, it is one of Tokyo's districts. It contains one of the worlds biggest Mass Crossing areas. It also contains one of the worlds largest Starbucks.
It was supposed to rain a lot today so I decided to ask the front desk to borrow a umbrela. The girl was gone for a long time, she came back with a huge grin on her face. In her hand she was hold an bright red umbrela with white butterflies on it. Needless to say every teenage girl giggled when she noticed the umbrella. Once I got back from Tokyo the front desk had 10 people at it. They all broke out in laughter when they saw the umbrella. One of the guys at the desk said, "NICE". At least i can entertain a few people.
Up in Shibuya we went to Tokyo hands, which had a lot of stuff, 8 floors with most everything you would need except clothing.
For lunch we ate at a Kirin resturant. I had some steak, which was pretty good.
In the evening i went into the base and ate at the CPO club. Tonight was Mogolian Grill night. It was pretty good.
I headed up to More's City to do some window shopping, and had a Kiwi Juice for dessert. It was awesome.
