Default Well I'm back from the land of the rising sun...

Japan...what can I say? I love it.
The food was great, the people were great, the snowboarding was great, shit everything was great (except their damned low speed limits and small roads).
Well I'd write more but jet lag owns my ass.

Now that the jet lag is gone let me speak of some interesting things I found:

1) While at Autobacs (Discount Autoy type place) browsing through the Tien, Mugen, Cusco, etc. parts what did I find? APC...that's right, imported from America with it's own special section and display. Yippee....

2) No tipping in Japan.

3) Stay away from the fermented sticky beans if you value your tastebuds.

4) Tolls are something like 5-7 dollars and there are tons of 'em along the highways.

5) Blowfish sake is the shit.

Shee Shee ne.
Well my friends and I graduated this past year so we figured we'd all go do something together before we all get jobs and leave the state/country. It was a toss up between Japan and Taiwan but Japan came out on top since we could stay with my friend's family...well that and the fact that Japan just fuckin' rocks.
Probably going back next year. Going to study my ass off in the mean time as my Japanese was pretty damned lacking.
