Well here I am in Tokyo, Japan ><. Hard to believe that after three weeks after finding out my start date, that I am here now. Japan is a place that is lively and full of a lot of people. Things are very condensed and very crowded. Even though the city is like this, people are very polite and service is number one over here. I never felt like anyone at any of the shops were rude or not willing to help me. After my arrival, I meet with some of the co-workers here in Japan who I would be working with. Adnan, Ken, Matthias and Yuka meet me on Friday (7-07-07) only 2 hours after I arrived. We had a few drinks and I got some dinner and crashed. The next two days were meeting with friends and site seeing. Let me tell you...over two days I probably walked at least 15 miles. My feet hurt =(. It was well worth the exercise though and the pictures. See all the pictures at

Me at Akihabara, the place that is famous for all of the electrical goods. I know you are jealous Dominic, hehe. I could of spent a week here and not seen all of the electrical goods. You are in for a treat when you all visit.
Picture of the high school baseball tournament in Yokohama. Dang, there were thousands of high school students and families here. Oh, by the way high school baseball is more popular than the major league.
A picture of the hat in Roppongi Hills. Roppongi Hills is beautiful, and I got to watch Die Hard....not a bad action movie at all.
Me and Yuka in China Town in Yokohama. The China Town here is the largest in all of Japan. Boy was the food good here.
A picture of Ameyoku, a place where they sell fish, fruits and food for very cheap. I was hit up 5 or 6 times to buy some Toro fish for about 1,000 yen for a huge slab. It was tempting, but I was not going back to the hotel for at least 5 hrs, so I passed......Dang I am hungry now.
Need some drugs? This is a typical drug store wall. Told you that everything is really compact. Space is of the essence in Japan.
Taking a picture with a cafe girl in front of the station. This is one of the things that you will see a lot of in Japan. Girls dressed up and handing out flyer's for you to come to a cafe where all the girls are dressed this way and serve you coffee or tea =P.
Another picture of a girl that works at those cafes, I think, hehe.
Having some drinks after a long day of site seeing. Starting with Ken Hiraga (left), Adnan Raza (Center), and one of the interns out here in Japan, Saori.
Me and some other co-workers Yuka (intern) and Tajima-san (Taj). A few drinks and then it was off to bed.
