Sooooooooo…. →. March 2, 2011. Sorry it’s been awhile–I haven’t taken many good pictures lately and I don’t like making text-only posts. So we went bowling. Most of the finger holes on the lighter bowling balls were too small for my fat American fingers, so I ended up with a ball that was probably too heavy for me, but for some reason that didn’t matter. I was bowling like a pro! I have never gotten so many spares/strikes in a bowling game in my life! Oh, and Island City, the project planned by the profe...

Finally. →. February 15, 2011. 48 hours from now I’ll be on a 777 en route to Narita International Airport. Holy crap! I can’t believe it’s actually happening. I’ve been working to get this arranged for nearly 1.5 years and I’m just so thrilled I really get to go. In other news, today I passed the age where certain birthdays mean something fun and exciting happens–well, I guess at 25 I can rent a car, so that’ll be marginally exciting. Now I am officially an. To give some perspective, in 2007 the exchang...

April 14, 2011. Here’s part 1 of an update of my life:. March 12-23 I was at a conference for architecture and urban design in takahashi city, okayama prefecture. it was the most intense week and a half of architecture and urban planning I’ve ever experienced, but it was good. I learned a lot, made lots of friends, and sang a lot of karaoke. Egg custard served in a tea cup). I’ve had it several times since, but I’m still not sure how I feel about it…. Anyway, so we had a welcome party, met lots of townie...

Monthly Archives: May 2011. May 7, 2011. Japan’s Golden Week is a series of bank holidays that are designed to let basically everyone in the country get more or less than a week of time off from work. Then everyone travels. All at the same time. But I didn’t travel, I stayed in Fukuoka. Which was kind of nice, actually, because I got to see a different side of Fukuoka–the one that is full of a zillion more people than normal. Continue reading →. I don't roll on shabbos.

Newer posts →. February 1, 2011. Departing 12 pm EST February 17, arriving 8pm Japan Time February 18. I’m staying at a hotel my first weekend in Fukuoka, but my friend Mitsumi is going to come visit me, so I won’t be so lonely. We’re going to go exploring Fukuoka, as neither one of us has been there. I hope that will help stave off the culture shock for at least a few days. I got accepted to a 10-day architecture/urban design workshop in Takahashi in March. I’m pretty excited about that. Also I really w...

Mary poppins would be proud. May 7, 2011. Japan’s Golden Week is a series of bank holidays that are designed to let basically everyone in the country get more or less than a week of time off from work. Then everyone travels.

Mary poppins would be proud. →. April 19, 2011. Ipod photo cache dump! It s almost like eating at the fat duck! So I learned about this craziness a few months before coming to japan–casto and I really wanted to try it since it’s like molecular gastronomy for kids! One day I was browsing a random grocery store and stumbled upon the motherload of POPPIN’ COOKIN! More info: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Squeeze the red stuff into the yellow stuff! Here’s another picture of takahashi:. It’s amazing tha...

8220;kawaii” →. February 21, 2011. It was a little strange feeling so disconnected the past few days; though I was never alone for very long. I guess I should start from the beginning. You know how when you’re sitting in the airport at the gate and you see some person that you’d really like to sit next to on the plane because said person looks interesting or attractive, yet you absolutely never end up sitting next to that person? Shake hands with famous Japanese baseball stars and Paul McCartney! The hot...
