Mou ichido, Nihon!

So I'm in Japan. Again. (Big surprise there) I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I arrived late last night in Nishiwaseda and have yet to see the area in broad daylight, so therein lies today's sightseeing plans. (Translation: I will be hitting up the 100 Yen store to buy cheap dishware and trashcans.)

Anywho, this is my third trip to the land of make-believe, and it'll by far be the longest. I'll be here for ten weeks -- just long enough to actually feel like a resident before I'm whisked away back to my real life over in San Fran. But I intend to make the most of it, starting with this posting.

For the seventy-some-odd days, coming to you live from Japan (okay, maybe not live), I'll be posting stories of my mythic exploits. Like this!

Is it noodles, or is it a sandwich? No one knows!
(Actually it's both, and it's today's breakfast.)
Nail biting, I know. (C'mon, I've only been to a convenience store so far.) But really, I'll be doing my best to share bits of the Japanese culture I encounter on a daily basis here. I'm sure I'll find plenty to take in over the next few months, but I'm always open to additional suggestions for how to get into trouble (beginning with my bad Japanese). So please 遠慮しないで! (Don't hold back!)

Until next time.
