In Japan by the way.

In Japan. For a year. Starting yesterday. Should get back to preparing for the placement exam in a few minutes or so but was just distracted for a little while...

Just confirmed the presence of at least one cockroach in my apartment. In Kanazawa they told us they were fairly common and to not leave garbage around or you'd almost certainly see them. Saw evidence of them when I got here, and I was just going to take some empty cans out when I noticed that there was one trapped in the can. Taped the can shut since I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully the only one in here, I'll probably know within a couple of days.

Japan pretty much has more insect pests and fewer other pests... for reasons I still don't know, the spiders here are large, ridiculously active, and everywhere. Interesting differences that geographical separation can make.

Wonder if my brother would really love Japan that much after all, as he is pretty much full of arachnophobia.

By the way, I should give you his e-mail so you can be like "Hey, I'm your brother's friend and I'm living in Japan. We can get drunk off sake together."

Ah lucky lucky lucky!

Have lots of fun in Japan. And if HALCALI goes on tour I will wire you money to hook me up with tour goods.

YOU THINK I'M KIDDING BUT I'M NOT.
