Long Break

It's been a while since I've written. Now I'm lucky to have a few followers (although they are basically my family). I wonder how many posts I have to write in order to get more. I'll try harder, I swear. Since the last post, I've been going from place to place in Japan. I just came back from Tokyo to visit a family friend, and it just reminded me how much cooler that city is than where I live now, the wonderful industrial city of Nagoya. Seriously, mostly everything there is interesting. Before I had gone there, I had my doubts. When I watched "Lost In Translation," I expected it to be overwhelming, but it turned out to be really cool. There are never too many people like you would think. There are plenty of parks to go to as well. I took the bullet train, or Shikansen there as well, which was a great experience. On the way there, alas I mistakenly sat in the smoking car and had to stay there for like 2 hours because I was afraid of falling into people while it was in transit. That thing is so expensive, but I guess it's worth it if you have the dough. While I was there, I had to go back to Omote-Sando to check it out. I was disgusted again of the prices. If I could go to only one area in Tokyo, though, I'd probably choose Ginza or somewhere nearby. There's a little something for everyone there. In Ginza there's the Sony Building too. Last time I went there they were showing some 3D Wega TV. I swear, 3D is really pitched nowadays. It's not as good as they say, too. Back to work tomorrow.. gotta teach kids.. probably shouldn't comment on that.
