For the first time since I got here, I decided to go bowling with the
homies. Our destination was the Ikebukuro bowling alley located near
TJ's apartment. Apparently the place was 24 hours and ready and willing
to accept some eager bowlers.

This evening I was journeying out to Kichijoji to do some people
studying. For anthropology, we're supposed to choose a fieldsite and
observe people, customs and culture. I chose McDonald's and the
seemingly different kind of culture that exists here in Jerpan in
regards to the way people use fast food restaurants.

So I was riding the train today, reading a book on the making of the

advertisement for the upcoming World Cup. The advertisement was in
Japanese (obviously) and seemed to be a photograph of the advertised
magazine's current cover.
