So I've been living the life here and have been letting this blog go unattended....so i've done sooooo much since then it'll take a lifetime to write about em....so pics will suffice....important details tho....traditional festival, disneyland, design festa(biggest art show in Asia), and my friend Daniella...she seems to be everywhere. ....witty comment...witty comment

Yo Momma..I mean....Yokohama....i mean .........You Momma

So now i'm writing about stuff from like 2 plus weeks ago but its cool...so I went to Yokohama...theyve got the biggest Chinatown in Japan...it was cool, not really a Chinatown feeling....it smelled quite nice actually....had some food...no Richmond Court thats fer damn sure! but hey good enough....so on the spur of the moment, J and me decided to go see a baseball game..The Yokohama Baystars versus the Hiroshima Carp...we were put in the Hiroshima side of the stands and they would go nuts!...chanting and cheering to the trumpets in the stands with all their heart....and I was booing and chanting back at them, trying to piss them off...with all my heart....Yokohama won so eat it Hiroshima....

Eat it


oh and thats me in work costume.........eat it

Nova

So here comes the super cliche part of the blog when the blogger apologizes for being to busy to keep updating....well i just said it so there you go!.....anyway, work's been good....steady...steady enough to keep me busy enough to not be on vacation anymore....so its real life in Japan now...the job's not bad...talk to japanese people all day and the co instructors are pretty cool...here are some of em....

The beauty of the random

So first day of teaching at Nova...and not bad...the branch is cool, job is cool, and most of all the people so far are cool...got a text in the day from a Mr. Mark Horvath...for thos who dont know, he's one of Steve's nearest and dearest...hes been here a few years...and its the first time to see him...and it was his birthday!

so we meet in roppongi(the richmond/adelaide area of tokyo...but scummier..thats right, no pretty boy ginos here just down and dirty folk from across the globe)...CLASSY...not my scene but as Ron Burgundy says, When in Rome...did find a very cool bar, Muse...big for tokyo standards...but big in general...dancefloor, pool tables, dart boards, and....ping pong...what happened from midnight on was just a blur...a fun blur that is...

only in Japan can i meet Horvath, his crew, then a japanese guy who knows Markham, a folk dance troupe from the Philippines (who by the way loves my movie star uncle from back there...and said I look a lot like him before i mentioned we were related...who knew), a fucking crazy spaniard, a bunch of inebriated Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, and Americans and on the train, a Japanese guy eager to visit the T Dot and finally a russian model who was drunk beyond belief and was being hit on by above nerdy eager guy (who was beginn us for a pic...weird)...then end the morning with a 3 dollar bowl of teriyaki beef and a short visit to a mini shinto temple next to my house...just to see it as the sun came up at 7 AM
