Romantic comedy

     First I sorta finished getting appliances and essential things to thrive here to put it like that, so now that I am settled I guess I can start churning out more updates and cook myself delicious food on my Paloma stove. 

     I guess I will explain why I find this funny... first of all normally paloma means pidgeon in spanish but we also use that word as slang for penis. In more serious talk I was scared installing it since I wasn't sure if the gas I got at home matched the stove(dat propane or butane) but it turns out I have propane and the stove is for that(you would be proud king of the hill) so I got a working kitchen and that thing that looks like a mini oven is actually a very silly grill.

     In other random updates bicycles here tend to have weird branding deals as you can see, for now I got mine from a dumpster... so it is not as fancy as those two. So I have what I would call a bike made in socialism that just fits my needs perfectly.

     I don't know if I mentioned before that I am in the wind ensemble of the university, they had this welcome party for new members, before it starts the club leader who happens to be a girl called 渚（nagisa) is organizing but I get there early so we talk for a bit, she guides me through filling my nametag so people learn each other's names and interests so out of lazyness in things I like she sorta dares me to put I like her in huge font... well challenge accepted I did. After much drinking and finding out half the club plays mtg I managed to get other two girls to join and learn to play clarinet! so I will be lending them my clarinet and lots of indirect kissing action will happen(actually today I bought some reeds and I will try to be more hygienic about it).  

Those pictures are an effort to show the trips I take to the univeristy. you can see it on the left in the first picture, well I will just get to watching Iron Man 3 tonight and let you know how that is.

    To close it up, my lab mates all have managed to get jobs at main branches of companies(fujita, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, etc) but they are in a pickle of sorts, they require higher TOEIC scores to graduate and not be stuck in their entry level jobs all their lives... due to my performance before in this aftermentioned test(980/990) I have been asked to conduct a weekly workshop of english... This will get interesting.

hunting for appliances and some UFO catching action

well just to show around my current surroundings, this is what it pretty much looks like outside my window, the other side is just trucks, so I don't find it that interesting to share around. Yesterday there was the famous bazaar for international students which is just honestly a group of japanese volunteers that find cheap appliances and such and sell them to us for symbolic price. I nabbed a nice washing machine

      At night I went to joke around at the arcade... I was doing pretty good won 5 mokeke dolls, I decided to give some away since... honestly I got 4 of them in two attempts(I usually buy 500 yen and get the play 6 times and pay 5 deal) so by the third time I already had 5. This little kid was staring at me since I started nabbing stuff so I decided to give one to him... the rest I gave to someone I knew that I ran into the arcade, because I really don't like those dolls, just ended up getting them among the things in the UFO catcher.

Still at the arcade, my key is kinda naked so I thought I could use a keyring/keychain so it is more noticeable in my pocket and I run into this machine that has final fantasy sword keychains. It is one of those that you need to be really precise aiming because it is a clamp that catches on to the string or the hole in the prize package and pushses down so you can get it. As usual I drop 500 yen to get 6 attemps since I am not used to the machine, it was going better than expected then this happens.

     That freaking string would not let go, as I kept getting the clamp to push down, imagine one winged hutt playing in the background and sephiroth just laughing at me(I actually picked that because it was the lowest out all the strigs and it wasnt curved as hell like some of the other ones and I imagined those would be harder to pick) eventually with an extra 200 yen I did not really want to spend I got the sword... and I kept the string too and I tied it around my key to see if it has the same resilience. 

   

Back in japan. The re-slammering

 Well, I ended up returning to this Japan(same city too) mostly due to being a fool and keeping my promises... I could have chosen any other place. However, out of dumb loyalty I decided to be a man of my word. At least I can expect myself to put the same effort here than I would anywhere else.

     This might seem kinda random, but this is where I used to live, you can see the bullet holes on the side of the wall there, pretty much every single one is like that, so you could say I lived in a place that has had plenty of action over the years.

     Of course the graffiti, black metal fenced and fenced windows also give a cozy feeling to the whole place.

     My route to head to japan was Caracas -> Frankfurt -> Narita, the first branch of the trip was done on an airbus 340-600 and I managed to nab the seats next to the emergency exit so it was a pretty decent flight altogether. The guy next to me during this flight was a middle aged german who was pretty dead silent all along.

     For the second branch it was an airbus a380, which despite all the extra commodities it had(USB ports, electrical outlets and ethernet ports for free) Ended up being a slightly worse trip since it was super crowded. The pilot kept congratulating the U-19 soccer team that was flying along on their victory in the dortmund cup I think... and hilariously enough most of them were doing math homework during the flight, even helped some of them. During this flight I had two dutch guys that were visiting Japan for the first time, it was kinda scary how well planned they had everything(I am a pretty disorganized guy myself) seeing that I am going to stay for 2 years I honestly had no plans after arriving in narita I was just gonna wing it from what I knew from before and whatever japanese skill I have.

    I held off this update for a couple of days, because I still don't have a proper internet contract at home and I rely on my cellphone for internet tethering. I got more pictures, but I think for now this is a good starting point for the new adventure I guess? Even as it is now I will try to update this more often.
