We bought new electronic IC train passes but that hardly makes up for it. Maybe we'll go see Prince Caspian today instead.

Stupid websites
The website for Fuji Safari Park said the buses ran every 50 min. Well we've spent the last 3 hours only to find that they only run twice a day. We managed to miss both of the buses at two different stations. No lion cub holding for us.

We're going to try some phone posting today. I'm sure there will be times that it will be useful. I can send posts/photo's from my phone's email. It costs money of course, but what is the price of staying constantly connected to the rest of the world? Hmmm. Maybe it's not such a fantastic idea. Either way, the special emails are already in my phone, so if I ever want to the opportunity is there.

Busy times
Been a while sicne I last updated, sorry about that. I've been preoccupied with some stuff here. Setting up for various family members to start coming to the country among a few other things. I'll try to keep up.
We're having a "typhoon" today. 2nd of the season supposedly. I don't know when the first one was. The problem is they use "typhoon" for any tropical depression or hurricane. That's all these have been. Not full fledged big eye in the middle of the spinning clouds, but just a tropical storm. Lots of wind, some rain, maybe thunder if you are lucky. They need to add a new word sos they can differentiate the two main types of storms. There's no way to tell between a category 5 hurricane and a big thunderstorm. Another "lost in translation" moment.
I personally am excited for E3 this week. I'm expecting lots of announcements about some videogames that I like. I might even get to go to the Tokyo Game Show this fall. We'll see if that pans out.
Prices on airlines tickets went up this week, so it's looking less likely that I will come back. I told my mom, I could buy a PS3 (with half a dozen games) and the Nikon D80 (basically the only electronics I'll need for the next 5 years) for the same price as my plane ticket. Both of those things would last me years. A plane ticket will last me two weeks. We'll probably buy a ticket(s) in the next few weeks, so if the prices don't move, everyone will know by the middle of june.
