3am cookie
Ok, so I’m going to give myself a cookie, one filled with “anco” (sweet bean paste that is popular in Japan). Here it is:
It’s almost 3am here and I’ve finally pulled my PC back from the precipice of doom. Today was the longest day.
Mac lovers will be glad to know that during the last 4 hours of this downtime I’ve managed to setup most of my day-to-day software on the macbook. That at least puts me one step closer to using it regularly.
Outside of PC / Mac stuff, the commute to and from the office was rather uneventful. I reviewed kanji cards on my DS during the train ride, and just like everyday the other commuters were all as silent as can be. The trains in Japan are both clean and quiet… although often a bit too full.

You should start a singalong on the train one day.

I’ve had may fill of that bean paste stuff. Its not my favorite, and it is like a number one gift from the japanese at work.

Im pretty sure that a singalong is something i could not start
Jim I’ll agree here (strangely). When I first came to Japan everyone wanted me to eat anco. At the time I really did not like the taste of it, but it was the “favorite” gift or suggestion by those I met as something Japanese-ish.
Honestly it took a little while for it to grow on me, and now I really like anco.

You may be right charles. I do remember last time eating it, I didn’t hate it as much as the 10 times I politely ate it before.
