Travels of a Yellow Hat: July 2009
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Amaya House, Kurosaki. I went for a walk today. Just far enough from the house to not justify turning around, it went from not a hint of rain to pouring cats and dogs in the span of about twenty seconds. I bought a nice new umbrella at the supermarket. Amaya House, Kurosaki. Cramming my study project together. no time for anything interesting. Amaya House, Kurosaki. I met my next host mother. Man I really need to finish up my project. Amaya House, Kurosaki. Amaya House, Kurosaki.

Travels of a Yellow Hat: Poor Korea... (14-2)
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009/03/poor-korea-14-2.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Poor Korea. (14-2). Murata Apartment, Fukuoka. Today my host dad and I drove down to Nagasaki for a Labo Songbird program. They were all in languages other than English, so they were new to me. We took a scenic route back, through a mountainous region with a few quaint little villages. In the evening, we all went to a public bath. It really wasn't very relaxing, for me at least, there were too many people. Posted by Cordell Newmiller. Aren't Japanese public baths nude?

Travels of a Yellow Hat: Flush #3
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009/05/flush-3.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Miyahira House, Urasoe. Today I flew to Okinawa! Dunno the latitude, but I think this might be the furthest south I've been so far. Before I left, I hid a bunch of plastic easter eggs all over the living room. I was gonna call the Amaya family on Sunday, but it appears they found a few already. It's all cloudy, even raining now. Not quite the blue skies I was envisioning, but hey rain is nice too. Miyahira House, Urasoe. This morning I rolled my foot on a crack in the pavement in...

Travels of a Yellow Hat: I'm Here!
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2008/08/friday-august-29th-new-city-hotel-nishi.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Friday, August 29th. New City Hotel, Nishi-Shinjuku. Those words don't convey much on their own. But when "here" is understood to be "on the other side of the planet," damn the semantics. Japan is no longer "there," it's "here." That is awesome. Did I forget anything? How's the flight going to go? I marveled at how far I was going to travel, something on the order of 5000 miles. The starlight twinkled at me as if to brag, "miles? I walked into the lobby and met with Ariel (my coo...

Travels of a Yellow Hat: Tunnel to Spaghetti
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009/03/tunnel-to-spaghetti.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Murata Apartment, Fukuoka. There's a college mate meeting every (other? Friday here, in the evenings. I hung out with a few of them before the meeting, playing with legos and juggling. We played futsal again. This time a lot more people came, and we split up into three teams and rotated seven minute games, playing each other. Our slot went from ten to midnight, so now it's really late. Had loads of fun, even if I'm a bit tired. Posted by Cordell Newmiller. I am a LABO Intern.

Travels of a Yellow Hat: 2006 Journal
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2000/02/2006-journal.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. When I went to Japan in 2006, I also kept a journal. It ought to be a bit more interesting than this one so far, but I stopped keeping it about a week into my second homestay. I guess I just burned out and got overwhelmed, but I promise not to do that again. It was originally posted on Livejournal, but I don't think I ever posted the last few entries there. I'm reposting it here so that the entries will be easier to navigate. The first entry is here:. Live From Japan #1.

Travels of a Yellow Hat: August 2009
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Chuo Shimin Pool Mae. Nagano House, Fukuoka. Today I visited Tamura party. This is my last scheduled party! I'll have to tally up and see how many I've done. I made lemon pepper pasta for the Nagano family. Dad really liked it, but I went too hard on the pepper and it was a little spicy. We walked down to the park with the dog. Nagano House, Fukuoka. Yesterday was my last day in the office. Bye everyone! Hotel Nakasato, Nagasaki. I took a bus from Hakata here to Nagasaki. I w...

Travels of a Yellow Hat: Ungoldsworthy
http://newmiller.blogspot.com/2009/03/ungoldsworthy.html
Travels of a Yellow Hat. Nakahama Apartment, Fukuoka. Today I went with Nakahamasan to Itoshima town, just west of Fukuoka. We visited a little peninsula called Keya, with some really neat igneous rock formations, the hexagonal pillars. It was windy and cold, but still really nice. After that we visited a place called Futamigaura, one of those beach shrines. Now I'm staying the night in Nakahama's teeny little one-room apartment. Tomorrow I move in with Kadasan.
