WHATS NORMAL?

Been in Japan for awhile, even just today Dillon mentioned St. Patricks day is coming up. I don't even remember when St. Patrick's day is, I only know about the Japanese holiday of White Day which lands on the 14th. aka the 2nd Valentine's day where boys give girls chocolate and candy and stuff. Plus one time I was eating broccoli and it sounded usual to add mayonnaise to it. But then I thought is that normal back home? I know we put cheese on it, but mayonnaise? Maybe I been here too long and I don't remember. Heck everything has mayonnaise on it and I think I am getting used to it. Yum, fried chicken and mayonnaise sounds good, but still on pizza its pretty darn gross.

BEING JAPANESEY

Been talking to Jimmy via email, Jimmy booked his flight and will be in Japan next month, pretty pumped to see my buddy in Nippon.

On the side, just some thoughts about daily life in Japan ... just like Utada Hikaru "Easy Breezy"
.... "You're easy breezy and I'm Japanesey"

- drink green tea everyday at work
- always have two pairs of shoes at work, one to change into before entering the gym, another pair for class
- carry a hand towel in my pocket
- use B5 size paper, not A4 paper
- shop at the 100 yen store
- carry lots of cash (200-500 bucks at a time), no debit card here
- ride a nice grandma bike with a basket in front
