Nikko and pic update

So I finally updated the flickr account and added about 400 pictures from when I went to Nagoya, like 3 months ago, and the ones from Nikko.

I had a really good time at Nikko and I went to an onsen in Kinugawa, which was really relaxing!!!! I will be home in about a month and cannot wait to get home. I am looking forward to returning to some kind of normalcy whatever that is. Let me know what you think of the pictures.

The Cure All

So as I have been in Japan I occasionally watch a lot of online videos to keep me up to date about what is happening in the US and just to keep me busy sometimes. Probably the one set of videos that I watch pretty religiously are those for 60 minutes that are posted online. I just watch this 2 part episode on sleep and all I got to say is WOW . . . . .

Here is the link to the video:

You just need to select the video you want to view and it will open in another window. Also check out some of the other videos as well . . . some of them are rather interesting.


Also I am going to Nikko this weekend and am really excited as I will be staying at an onsen. Here is the wiki entry on Nikko:

It does not way to much about it, but it is one of the few places I want to go.


I'm going to bed now!!!!

Okay so in Japan we have these things called Love Hotels.

They are everywhere and you just kind of get used to them . . . its really weird seeing a couple walk out cause you know what they were just doing. I understand the necessity of them and I am sure they add a little spice. So a friends show me this site for one and HOLY HECK!!!!!
