Ergh... reaally sleepy, I'm just going to do a photo dump and edit explanations in when I wake up.

This is the area around my house/dorm/apartment thing.

See if you can guess what I'm going to say about the pictures before I do! No Prize!



Ah, so more or less what I see when I walk out of my room each day. I say more or less because there is a plastic divider that is also between the door and this view as you'll see in the next picture...


I mean it *has* to be here. Cause otherwise it would be unsafe and all. blah. Maybe they could have made it out of glass? Or for less clarity, but more awesome, ulexite even? mmm...



So the area I'm in is most definately *not* like the inner parts of tokyo. More suburby, but the houses are are close to eachother (no backyards). It's a very quiet area with a lot of bikers and a every once in a while a slow moving car.



And speaking of bikes... Musabi in it's infinite kindness allowed me to have one! Thanks Musabi! It's got a lock, and pedals and a seat and everything!

Also because I'm biking everywhere here and enjoying it so much I'm really thinking about doing it more when I get back home too. There's something about hoping on a bike that's very satisfying. I think it's the combination of you getting to sit down, while at the same time moving about as fast as a normal run, while getting to feel a bit healthier too. Laziness, increased productivity, justification. A holy triumvirate of sorts!



Biking to buy some groceries... dum de dum.


Yeah, I don't know, I like seeing this sort of stuff as I bike along. I'm like, "YEAH. JAPAN. WHAT NOW.".


Groceries! A very good little store. Um. yeah. Not that exciting.


An area of fenced off wilderness. Why does it exist? It's got barbed wire all around it...

tanuki breeding ground perhaps?


bike bike bike... home I go.


Oh yeah, the Japanese love detail work. Behond, a manhole cover.

Every manhole cover I've seen has beautiful decorations on it, and they have different ornamentation's every time as well.

Some have been painted though. I don't like them as much.

I'll drag my carcass down to the area I usually eat food at later, and hopefully I'll be able to whip up a drawing or two today as well.
