Well I didn’t know where else to put this stuff so here will be some small parts about food.

A Combini is the Japanese term for a Convenience Store. The Japanese language has no V sound and so they usually use B instead and the Japanese like to shorten things so for example Word Processor is Wopuro and Personal Computer is Pasocom. I feel that Japaese Combinis are much better than their American counter parts even if many of them are run by the same companies. For example in Japan they have 7 Eleven, Circle K and AM/PM from America. They also have Family Mart, Lawson and a few others. My friend Masumi and her friend Mariko took me to Asakusa. (pronounced a-sa-ksa. The ks is pronounced like the X in fox) There is a temple in Asakusa that is very popular probably because it is in Tokyo so it’s close. Well since I live in Japan of course I’m going to have to buy some gadgets. Here’s what I’ve bought so far. So here are various pictures from the JAMMA show. The JAMMA show is an arcade game show which is were my department shows off it’s games. My friend Atsuko decided to take me to the Toy Club which is a toy museum near Yokohama. It’s very nice area. Kaiten = Rotating If you read up on Japanese etiquette, you’ll be told that if you want to take somebody out to dinner, don’t take them to sushi. It would be like taking somebody to McDonald’s. In Japan you can find Kaiten Zushi shops all over the place and often they are open very late. Later than most other food places. One day this summer I got to go to Yokohama Hakkeijima Seaside Paradise with my friends from Berlitz and there friends too. This is just a page of buildings of interesting Architecture. Japan seems to be known for quite a few really cool buiuldings. Hopefully someday I’ll have time to visit many of them. This page is really for my friend Dale. He really likes electronics, lasers and robots. There is a very famous part of Tokyo called Akihabara that is famous for all it’s electronics stores. Most of the hundreds of stores there sell things like phones, fax machines, computers, heaters, air conditioners, TVs, VCRs, video games etc. But, just outside the Akihabara train station is this small bazaar like set of stores that sells nothing but electronics parts. Each store appears to be individually owned and each one specializes in one or two things. |
