I tend to be very tired when writing, so I make grammatical mistakes and sometimes my sentences aren’t coherent. Anyway, I was reading over my blog and I noticed that Google AdWords was bringing up ads regarding Japanese girls and dating. I don’t know how Google made this connection. Would somebody care to explain?

So, like I previously mentioned, we got to Hiroshima early in the morning. Since we only had one day here, we decided to get started a little bit early. However, that really didn’t happen since we left the hostel around 10:00 am. Having woken up around 4:00 am (Yale around 4:50 am), we were both [...]

So, today Yale and I were able to spend some time visiting different WWII-related memorials in the city of Hiroshima. It was somewhat awe-inspiring to really be in such a historic place. Unfortunately, Hiroshima is known for a catastrophic event that took place at 8:15 am on August 6, 1945. I wonder if Truman and [...]

The sleeper train has been quiet. Eerily quiet. Seriously, there are probably 12 people on the entire train. So, as I venture through the different train cars, I’m always wondering if somebody will come murder me. There aren’t enough people on the train to “protect” me (i.e., no crowd to prevent the murder from occurring). [...]

Well, I had to make an international phone call today to speak with a gentleman from Cisco Systems. He was gracious enough to coordinate a convenient time for me to call him in California. Anyway, I miscalculated the time difference and thought that I would have to speak with him at 7:00 am, so I [...]

To all my friends who are in love with Daniel Craig and the latest Bond movie, Casino Royale.

Well, today started quite early. As I mentioned, I got up extra early thinking that I had to get up. Anyway, navigating the Tokyo metro has been interesting. I continue to be amazed by the sheer number of different subways lines running under the city. How the Japanese got it figured out is beyond me. [...]

So, I’m sitting here watching a crazy Japanese cartoon (anime). I never really understood why people like these shows so much. Anyway, I’m happy to announce that I don’t think I have jet lag! After flying over 9,000 miles (18 hours on a plane in a period of 24 hours), I’m feeling great. I went [...]

Having had a few hours off the airplane, I met up with Yale in the Hong Kong airport and we share a few good laughs. Both of us are still in disbelief that this trip is actually occurring. Seriously, Yale was in the Philippines yesterday and then he flew to Hong Kong to meet up [...]

So, you might think that all I’ve done is be on my laptop. It’s probably not too far off. Yale and I are both here updating our blogs. Our flight Toyo leaves in about 40 min. Anyway, the HK airport seems like a cool place; I didn’t really explore it all that much, but I’m [...]
