UP AND AT'EM FOLKS!!!

Uh... people?

WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR LIKE A MONTH NOW!!! w00t w00t!

I felt that since it is the anniversary of our coming, everybody should post their official evolved opinion about life in Japan.

Like Greg said, we need to hit 100 before we fly on back to the land of Americans.

Let's do it!

I had to go out of the station and cross back over the street. Sorry to have made you guys all wait for me!! But now I know how to get home from school!!! haha. Hope you guys have a good evening :)

Skkyyyyy rockets ignite!

Just wanted to wish everyone else safe journeys over here : ) Good luck, and let us know when you're around!

Teresa's Keitai

Kk guys, check your UVA e-mail addresses, I've sent my number out and my e-mail address. E-mail me whenever, it's free for a month or so.

^__________^

YAY!

How did you guys fare?

Uhh... guys?

Okay, Teresa needs help and she's somewhat stuck on her own. I went to the Nerima Ward office this morning already and applied for my Gaikokujin Card. They told me to come back April 6th to pick up the card, and I manage to score a photocopy of my application. Does anybody know if the photocopy is the temporary card or should I go back and try to ask for one? He didn't charge me 300 yen, so I don't know if my form works or not.

Also, I think I need help opening up a bank account and finding a prepaid cell phone. I know the Ninja-3 are out shopping for bedding today, but if you somehow get in contact with me I would love you FOREVER. Try leaving a message at my hostel or something if you can. I honestly don't know how to get in contact with you unless you guys have phones in your room and are able to receive calls from them.

Gah. I've been living on onigiri for my last couple meals. A GREAT START IN JAPAN!

Brrrr!!

This one goes out to Jen and Greg more specifically, if you have visited the blog tonight in cold desperation:
I don't know about you guys, but I didn't know... our air conditioners are heaters too, hooray! So stop using one of your room's curtains as a blanket and turn the heat on! =D I found this handy explanation of some of the keys on the remote...

自動： (jidou -you see this a lot in japan, like on auto-flush urinals)Automatic mode. I think this either heats or cools depending on your tempaerature setting, but I never use it.

ドライ：　(dry) A cool breeze

冷房： (reibou)Airconditioner in the traditional sense. Cold air comes out.

暖房： (danbou) Heats the room

送風： (soufuu) Just the fan

For the fan settings:

強：　Strong

弱：　Weak

微： Light breeze

You gotta press the top button til it gets to danbou (it shows up on the right), and press the arrows til they get to a higher temp, then pick your speed setting, and then you have to set the timer on for like a minute from now, and then press the button written in green! I have gone from too cold to sleep, to warm and happyyyy! I think there's an auto setting but I'm just going to turn it down when it gets too hot.. I'm afraid to mess with it now that I finally have it giving heat..

Happy sleeping sannin!
