1.  High school kids in Japan don't go home.  They are there at 8 in the morning and are still there after I leave, which is sometimes at 7pm.  And when I ask them what they are gonna do for the weekend, its always the same answer.  Go to their club at the school.  But they rock and are a lot of fun.

 

2.  Japan has decided it is their job to change all the food that comes in from other places.  For example, pizza, quite a simple thing to make and serve.  But somehow they took a back alley and came out upside down.  The only pizza that somewhat resembled american pizza at the local pizza shop was called meat paradise.  But come to find out their idea of meat on a pizza is a little different then ours.  They felt the need to put hot dogs on the pizza.  But I guess this is better than their MAYANOISE AND CORN pizza!

 

3.  Their sweet bread products are awesome.  I could eat their bread all day.  They got these bakeries that sell donuts, breads with chocolate (not normal bread, i can't explain it good), powdered sugar, and they even got little sandwiches there.  But the best is Beard Papa's cream puffs.  Ohhh, how i crave these every day.

 

4.  When you are a foreigner in Japan...especially in a small town, you get stared at a lot.  At first I kinda liked the attention.  Then it got annoying, and now I don't pay attention to it anymore.

 

5. Just watchin the Japan news.  According to the weather man, tomorrow is going to be a good day for laundry.  I don't know about you, but that got me excited.

 

6.  Also, watchin the news, I have discovered that Japan has a festival for anything they can think of.  There was a just a bunch of old men sittin in a circle and the festival they were attending was the Laughing Festival.  The Laughing Festival!!  What are they gonna come up with next, Festival of talking into fans and acting like you are Darth Vader?.....Wait a second, I hope they do come up with that! That would be the coolest festival ever.  I am declaring July 23rd as "Talk into a Fan and Sound like Darth Vader Day."
