A Moustache in Japan

I forgot to mention that I am beginning my homestay tomorrow.  I will have even less internet access than usual, but I will try to post as sporadically as possible.

By the way, this is the founder of my city.  I don’t even know his name but he is so hardcore.  I hear he would just tilt his head into the troops and shish-ka-bob his enemies.

However, it being Japan and all, his image has turned from fierce warrior to, what else, but furry mascot.

That’s all for now.

First!  I went to Osaka this past Wednesday and saw Radiohead!  They are as good as you would think.  It was a different atmosphere because first of all, marijuana is highly illegal, so there is not as much as there would normally be at most concerts, and second of all, everyone was Japanese.  Apparently “dancing” is pretty restricted to nodding and tapping feet.  It was still a great time, though.

Also, the other day, we had our first earthquake!  At first, I thought maybe a huge pack of schoolgirls (We had had them visit earlier.) was running on the roof before we understood what happened.  It lasted about 5 seconds, and I made sure during that time to properly hide underneath a table with my helmet.

Now it is time for:

Japan Has the Best Food: SUPER DELUXE EDITION

I have eaten all of these except the Caffe Latte Ritz Bits, which seemed just like too much.  Hold your mouse over the pictures to read their descriptions.
