Fuji

A week ago I took my trip to Mount Fuji. The goal was to hike up to the top so I could watch the sunrise. I haven't written my blog entry about it yet. I've just now had the time between work and stuff back home to satisfactorily mull it over in my head.

Watch this space.

Today's Slice of Japanery

I just realized that the song that was being played on a continuous loop in the produce department of the grocery store I use is a song about and promoting bananas. In almost every store I've visited in Japan, there is some type of promotional song being played somewhere in the store. They tend to make for really persistent earworms.

Secondly, I just ate a bag of fried chicken flavored potato chips.

Lot Sweet Lot

This town (Okayama) we're right by a train station and a bunch of switch-over tracks. That means throughout the day and night I get to hear the sound of moving trains, which I absolutely LOVE.

I also get to hear the chirping of nearby frogs. I have nice sounds around my house.

Snippets From My Life

I was just shaking out some laundry, looked up, and saw that one of the zebras had stopped and was looking at me. Is that cool and goofy or what?

Four of those were four-show days, 25 of those were three-show days.
