A long time coming...

Ive been in Japan for what...4 months now. A bit hard to believe, especially considering how much trouble I have communicating, but this whole language learning thing is finally starting to come along.

Rather than try to create an interesting story in the 20 minutes of remaining break time I have between classes, Ill just how you pictures. Stories can come later.

I lost my camera in Korea and had to buy a new one, these were the first pictures I took.



Ohoori Park. I pass through here everyday on my way home. Its a good way to get away from the smell of exhaust for a few minutes.




an old man i found reading the newspaper in a sweet little resting spot.




a river pretty close to my apartment




my sweet basket carrying my trusty umbrella.




the building on the right is my apartment. Chris if you read this you will love to know that my apartments name is Riberaru...or "Liberal". I just moved in here about 2 weeks ago. It was quite the experience.




a sneak peak at my TINY apartment. Its actually pretty big for Japan standards.




this is the cooking equipment that came with my "fully equipped" apartment




this so-called stove is an old electric MESS. and it stinks.




These things are my best friends. Throw an eggand some boiling water in there, and BAM instant gourmet dinner.




BARI UMA! Delicious!

I miss you all, Ill write more later. Sorry for not putting up ANYTHING in the last 4 months. Ja!

Is that a Ramen-esque meal? The type that one could "live on" in Japan?
I must say, poverty at its finest; it looks like a delicious way to survive.
Anyway, thanks for inviting me into your Japanese journey via blog. Good stuff.

Ryan (if that is your real name)...
Reconginize this? It belonged to you're father...
You're the most awsomest blogger I've ever read, kind of. Really? No, not really. But it's cool that you try. I should to move to Japan and we could be friends in a wierd you're-old enough-to-be-my-father kind of way.
Seriously though it's way neato cool that you're "out there".
