Bondon Kawamoto. Hero.

Sorry, but the title actually has nothing to do with what I did today, I just wanted to grab your attention.

Unfortunately, the way classes work here for most exchange students, there is Japanese class on Saturdays.  So this morning I went on down to school and sat through my Japanese class, which really isn't that bad of a class, but going to school on Saturdays is kinda a drag.  The nice thing is pretty much everyone has class in the same building so I was able to see a lot of my Oregon friends that I hadn't seen throughout the week. After class myself, some Oregon students and some Waseda students all went out for Indian curry and all-you-can-eat Nan.  All-you-can-eat of course is a challenge for me and I ate Nan bread till I felt sick, and then ate a little more.  But don't worry! No Mexico repeat.  I ate 2.5 pieces of bread which doesn't sound like much but they were quite large.

Afterwards my buddy Carey and I went to Akihabara, one of the many electronics meccas in Tokyo where Carey showed me a retro video game store.  It was honestly one of the coolest things I've ever seen as it had walls of unopened video games, ancient gaming systems and all sorts of cool stuff that here costs like 20 bucks but on ebay could go for hundreds.  No joke.  There was also an arcade with various retro games which was pretty cool as well, other than the smell of smoke and broken dreams that filled the air.  After our Akihabara tour I walked a little over 2 miles to get home.  There weren't any trains that would conveniently get me there and it was a nice day so I was able to walk through Ueno park, which by the way is going to be beautiful when cherry blossom season comes around, and see some other parts of the city that I normally would not have seen.
