Holy crap! Corey and Yukiko have ultra good internet! I'm downloading stuff 10x faster than home (and for you peeps at home, I'm only downloading homework and 2 games). Instead of going at 160kb/s, I'm crusing at 1.8mb/s. For those not internet savvy, it takes 1000kb to equal 1mb. Think metric system.

Anyways! Today Yukiko had to go to lunch with the other school moms and I rode bikes with her to the train station. I then had to find my home all alone but it was no problem! (I sound like a 6 year old.) I browsed a book store and only found Kin-Nikku Man! Thats Ultimate Muscle for all you guys back home. Apparently Yukiko grew up with Kin-Nikku Man which is awesome because I used to see that show when I was a kid.

I also went to a game store and learned the kanji for used. I hope to sell my PSP for at least 5000yen or else i'll just sell it back in the states. They also had some okay prices on PSPs. I think Akihabara had the best prices around.

After that, I bought some wasabi chicken sandwhiches and then caught bugs with Marc. We were walking around the wonderful park and mossy stone when I slid and ate it twice. Got some battle scars but nothing worth alarm (is that my vein?!). Marc and I caught some cool bugs too. Afterwards, Marc and I (english major at work) went on a walk through unknown (to me) territory and I bought some 270ml drink for 130yen only to find the same drink only in 1liter for 120yen. We got home and played games and I worked on my katakana.

Now I'm expanding my vocab while reading up on language developement importance in early childhood. If you want your kid to learn a second language DO IT EARLY!

Good night...err...morning? Whatever, later!
