Tottori. Sarah and I went a New Year's party at our hotel in Kyoto. It was fun despite the fact we were by far the youngest people at the party. I even got the hammer to smash open the New Year's sake barrel. Nabe Party I recently went to a "nabe party"...

here. There were about 80% foreigners coming from all sorts of far-away lands. It was strange outnumbering the Japanese people for once. I brought my video camera and used it as an excuse to talk to random people. I met a cute Japanese girl this way and...

me a decent work-out without drenching me in blood, sweat, and tears. Now I live in Tokyo--a vivid metropolis of 12 million people. Notice I said "vivid" and not "sprawling." Tokyo doesn't suffer from urban sprawl as LA does. Its public transportation...
