japan: first thoughts

Japan is crazy. I ate some octopus on the first day and was sick for about 48 hours. oh well, you live and you learn. I'm staying in Yokohama with my friend Masa until i move into my dorm, also located in Yokohama. It's hot and humid here, with the only relief being standing in front of a senpuuki (electric fan).

today, i'm going to a japanese concert after spending time in downtown tokyo (shibuya). i might buy a cell phone, which will come in handy when trying to organize meetings with people, as it takes about an hour by train to get anywhere. enough for now.
