  • English Club Party

    English Club Party I put a couple of pictures of the English Club party. It was really fun. I even won a prize for eating a large ice cream bar the fastest. After the party with food we went to a kareoke bar were I think I impressed the girls with my knowledge of J-pop…

  • Manga

    A couple of days ago Haruna recommended that I check out “One Piece” a manga about Pirates. She said it had pretty easy Japanese. I was unable to read the first page without a dictionary though… Manga is REALLY cheap in Japan! Like $3.50 each, compared to $10 or $15 in the U.S.

    I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever made flash cards. Hopefully they’ll work out for me.

    I uploaded the pictures that were on my Treo to the gallery. They are all small and pretty funny but it’s better than nothing. I’ve wanted to take so many pictures especially of funny engrish things but I feel bad. I’ll take some time to post the pictures on my cell phone next week. My…

  • Empitsu

    In Japan the lead in pencils can go down as far as 0.18mm! There are also pens that small.

  • PSP

    It’s amazing. I can use my PSP to write blog entries.
