Cell phone

Another lazy Saturday for me, except that I went out breifly to buy a prepaid Japanese cell phone. I was kinda bummed because it didn't look nearly as cool as the other ones. It wasn't a flip phone, it was a bit big, no camera, no games, and the color was pretty basic. On the upside though, it has a color screen, HUNDREDS of different customization options, easy usability, and it actually doesn't look so bad after changing the face plate to be all blue.

Forget whatever I said about this city being rural or small. It turns out the city I live in, Omi-hachiman, has a huge city district with tall buildings and everything. It was quite a spectacle with all the cherry blossoms everywhere. I wish I had my camera, but who knew there would be a photo opportunity on the way to the Vodaphone store!

Tomorrow will be the birthday party celebrating both my host brother's births (sice they are really close to each other). And guess what? We're having REAL sushi. Not the cheap stuff (I'm told), but the expensive and therefore high quality sushi. My mouth is starting to water just thinking about it...

I'm getting pretty tired now, so I think I'm gonna get some rest. I'm much more tired here than in LA, even though I'm not really doing anything most of the time. Very interesting.

Ja ne.
