yesterday was quite a fun day. I met up with some nova people and watched a really cool dance perfomance in namba station. they all looked so happy to have foreigners taking pictures of them. In japan, we are the japanese tourists. there is so much to take pictures of, i felt like one of the hordes of japanese tourists in banff!. i will never make fun of them again. then me and a girl from t-dot (linzi) went to Kurumon market. a huge fresh market by our apartment to pick up some veggies. we haven't had veggies of fruit since last week. Note: japanese veggies are huge a clove of garlic was just a little smaller than my fist. odd!

me and shiv spent the afternoon indoors watching crazy japanese tv. it will madden you if you watch it long enough. people on tv get so excited about every thing. On one show every one was going NUTS over shark fin soup. like,fanatical. then the host brought out a bowl of shark fin soup for every one. and the whole place went mad....for soup? its great to watch.

we have skype. shivs name is osakashiv, so try that.

last night we met up with some other teachers and went to watch a break dancing extravaganza. at namba station. very good, and walked along the lit up arcades till we came across a restaurant with alot of plasic food dispalys out front. super tasty and very reasonable. i had this idea of japan as being very expensive, but its not! will post pics soon.

Happy b day tabs!
