Flying solo... Han Solo.

Today I'm out on my own. I have left the mother's nest and flown to the land of Saitama.  I was late in meeting the guy who would show me my new flat, since there seems to be a difference between the Omiya and the Higashi-Omiya stations.  Pro sense of direction, GO!
He showed me around a bit, which was nice.  Not much more to say on that at the moment.

What I WILL say is that there's a small used book/CD/DVD place near me, which is pretty sweet.  I bought a couple CDs, and will put them up for download on my short and sweet music blog:  http://musicofnihon.blogspot.com/

My new place is tiny...smaller than Pete's (http://suntorytimes.blogspot.com/), but it'll do for now.  Pictures to follow later.

More importantly, I ate delicious tonkatsu shio ramen at a local ramen place.  BAM!

Oishii mothasnuckas.  ...or should I say, おいしい AWWW YEAH that's right, I'm typing on a Japanese keyboard at an internet/manga cafe.  This place is pretty baller except for the fact that it does not play basketball.  There are TONS of volumes of manga here, as well as a bunch of computers around so you can surf porn and shieeet.  It's 100 yen for 15 minutes, 200 yen for 30 minutes, or 900 yen for 3 hours (about $1.25, $2.50, and $11.25 respectively).  There are tons of games, free drinks (all you can drink fountain drink machine drinks???? oh snap time4liquidcaloric explosionnnnnnnn), and maybe even a shower.  Lemme check.  Well I don't know, come here and find out yourselves you lazy bums.

I really just don't know where I live.  I came here because I was tired of looking.  It's getting pretty late, so I think I'd better get back to it.  No internet at home woot woot.  I'll hopefully be able to fix that soon.

mmk so i was going to only post this when i got pictures up, but it looks like that won't be possible til i figure stuff out (uploads not working here at internet cafe) SO text only for now!  I wonder if the uploads will work on Facebook...
