Love these dudes!

More from around the park

NO WAX at Miyashita Park
Kittens playing in the rubbish.
Marker art?

ROBOT ATTACK! I think this looks like a robot.......

Honda bikes

The new skatepark in Shibuya was kind of built inside and above a 1 level parking garage so on one side you can see trains passing by and the other side is surrounded by motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. Masaru and I took a break from skating and went down to look at the bikes.
I am not sure what this is, I know they don't sell them anymore but they are not old at all. Less than 5 years. A scooter for someone who doesnt want to look like they are riding a scooter? It has one of those cub engines on it too.

CL250. I couldn't believe this was in the lot. I don't think I have ever seen one of these in America. Any 250 is rare. It looks exactly like a 350....I think the cylinders are just not bored as big. . . . . Beautiful bike! You don't see old Hondas like this anymore in Japan...


Three for the pillow

Hung out with DUDE all day today. Always a good time. WAY more to come after I recover and wake up tomorrow.....

Bus ride to Shinjuku

I took the bus today for the first time. It is more expensive than the train but you get to see more people, sit down, and relax. Pictures from the ride....

Mejiro Station. How many times have I slapped my suica pass at your entrance. How many times have I come home from skating and barely been able to walk back to the apartment........
There is a world of highway just above everyone here. Walls along the side to block the noise but you cant forget its there. There is also a huge world below.....subways digging tunnels for miles....water flows everywhere too. It is scary though this year. Kuramo told me levels of radiation are low on all areas of concrete, road, etc. but the water is super contaminated and parks/ anywhere with dirt should be avoided....... scary thought. I wonder what this lady is thinking....
Shinjuku Station is the worst thing ever. Kinokuniya there is the best though. I got lots of new study materials for my students and a book for me. I also ran into these pocket chopsticks! at Tokyu hands....i love that place.
And check these out! I think i have fallen in love with these utensils! Chop, spoon, and fork!

An honest days work

Woke up early and got lost on the way to my first ever job interview and day of work in Japan. (at a company anyway.....)
After I finished I had...veggie curry!
With Kuramo!!! AHAHA!
On the way home, a Honda shop.
How much is that cbr250 in the window, vroom vroom, the one that you have for sale. (singitwithme?)
Shubiki Corp. Happy to be of service. I hope I can translate, proofread, and record for you again only this time from my home computer in the future........
Now what to do?
Akihabara? Shinjuku? Ueno for bike parts? ...doushou.....

Yesterday

Expensive dinner......
