I'm going.

July 7th - August 1st

Living with my girlfriend.


First class round trip. Ohhhhhhhh yesssssss
 
I'll be your girlfriend.

I lied, I really won't. Hey, see if idiots take Cavaliers & Focuses and put all sorts of crap on them there. But they wouldn't call them ricers, would they? What would they call them? What's a uniquely American food?

Are you going to post from Japan? I always wondered, in other countries, countries that don't use our english alphabet, what do their keyboards look like? Do they have wacky symbols all over them? Do the people there think they're symbols look funny? Do they have tiny feet?

if I type, say "sayonara" in Japanese, then it is the same as typing it here. After the characters are used, the software detects what word you used and selects the appropriate alphabet (hiragana, katakana or kanji). Now sometimes there's more than 1 option for a word, say "Kami" (hair, god or paper). Each of the kanji characters are presented for the user to select from.

So they type in Romanji (roman characters) and select from the options if need be.

fyi: they have to program in the same language as us! that would be so hard.

Almost. You select your alphabet first (almost always hiragana when doing Nihongo) then when the word is spelled out, a little vertical box pops up to display available Kanji (kinda like autocomplete).

The choice between alphabets (including Romanji/English) is selected by mouse with symbol next to time (lower right hand).

Suggest you keep on lookout for place called Gera-gera (with green frog as mascot). All over Tokyo. Internet access (with or without smoking), magazines (yes even those kind), manga (whole rows of bookshelves) beverage bar (kohi, ocha and soft drinks) and open 24/7.

P.S. If you are going to Tokyo area, and do the Akihabara pilgramage, do NOT buy a keyboard that has both Romanji and Japanese (hiragana) on it. It may look neato geeky cool, but it will NOT work with English version Windows.

well, I mean, I *call* her my girlfriend, but she doesn't really know me. I saw her picture in a magazine and I've been following her around for a few months. Turns out she's staying in a hotel for a month so I made reservations for the room next door.

I've planned my schedule to match with her's so I'll bump in to her all the time. Who knows, maybe we'll get married!

I'll be there a month. My gf is a translator and data entry person for a large medical company. She works 12 hour days 5-6 days a week.

I'm a cs student.


The tickets are from my stepdad who is joining me (along with my mom) for the first week of my trip. He used to work for a company that sent him around the world just to drop off packages and such. He would fly first class and racked up 09w8350943850934850939oeujfkdfn230j390854908 frequent flyer miles.

Needless to say, we're all flying round trip, first class for free....and he still has miles left over. Now before you say I'm lucky, I practically begged him to give me a coach seat. He and my mom agreed but they ended up getting me a first class seat instead.
