Last night, after work, I played basketball for 2 hours. Not a surprise to most, I assume. Today, my leg is very sore. I am not sure how it happened, but somehow I ended up with a large bruise on my left thigh.
On another note, yesterday I had a chat with my friend Takumi. Before […]

Radish and sauce in 2 canisters == a delicious (and surprisingly very cheap!) dinner We lucked out in finding a cheap place for a friday night dinner for two.
Short post, but worthy of a few photos (especially since my last posts have been void of imagery).
Almost every week I get an advertisement from some pizza delivery place. Their beautiful 4 page spreads showcase some of the most mouthwatering pizzas I’ve ever seen.
In fact, I don’t recall seeing such delicious looking photos […]
So, this weekend we attended a wedding dinner party with Ayako’s family. It was the first time we got to celebrate our wedding with them, and it was the first time I had met several of her cousins and aunt / uncles.
During the dinner, I presented a video of our wedding ceremony and reception from […]
So last night I met a friend at a place in Tamachi after work. I was introduced to one of his coworkers, Maui, who is from Samoa, not to be confused with the American Samoa.
We had a lot of great conversation, and I learned quite a bit more about life in Japan from the perspective […]
So, I’ve got to give a speech this coming Saturday. Not only do I have to speak in front of 20 people I barely know or have never met, but I have to give the speech all in Japanese.
I’m still working on my first draft. Which means that I will have very little time to […]
Ok, so I did it. Well, I partially did it. I mustered the courage to tackle the Tower Cheese Burger (mentioned in a previous post).
Ayako and I did a little shopping this past week, then we stopped by a small place called The Submarine in Shinjuku. The restaurant / bar was mostly empty, […]
If I haven’t mentioned before, movies are often released in Japan much later than in other places. In some cases, the length of time between release in other countries and Japan is quite baffling.
Take, for example, Shrek IV:
USA - May 21, 2010
Kazakhstan - May 21, 2010
Italy - August 25, 2010
Japan - December 18, 2010

A short blog post today. Today I tasted a semi-sweet snack from Okinawa. I really liked it, so to share, here is a photo (unfortunately, at the moment I don’t remember what it actually was… but maybe it had a sweet potato flavor?):
This weekend I took a bus from the court that I play […]
Ok, I can’t believe that Japan would feature so many large burgers, but im sure they love the marketing buzz. Take a look at this “Tower Cheese Burger.”

From the fast food restaurant named Lotteria, comes this 10 patty burger for only 990 yen (about 10$). Perhaps I need to go […]
