slow

No work!! But we can't get away from Tokyo without car... No AC, Ok in my room. I can leave open the window but I can't stand the heat without AC in my office. I hate fixed windows...

Sounds cool, db!

Keep your eye on "Denki Yohou"! 　　　　　　　　　↓ http://www.tepco.co.jp/setsuden/corp-com/forecast/index-j.html

Enjoy wierd weather! You'll have sleepless summer soon.

db, Very complicated to get to both Costcos near Tokyo! It takes about 1.5hours from my area by car.

I love Costco's Muffins!! Car is absolutely essential for it. As for Tesco, is it true? I hope Tesco will do better than Boots!

I stay 4days in Bankok next week. Not enough time for island, so I'd like to explore Thai modern art. Anyone know interesting place there?? I'm looking forward to it so much!

Zenzen daijobu, Ocean. That's why I like English better than Japanese!

I don't like hose in summer either. I tend to wear pants but I've got a nice used skirt the other day. So I'll try more feminine this summer! But no 'OL look' for me. It's not so comfortable...

I know many buildings were still on but that campaign is dificult for the hotels or hospitals. Only symbolic buildings joined that for motivation.

I'm seriouly thinking what I can do for machi zukuri. How about cooperative houses or landscape design? Better community and many trees in Tokyo...

Yeah, you'll see this on TV tonight. Some helicopters were on the sky. No Tokyo Tower, Rainbor Bridge, Roppongi Hills now. My friend said If we have summer time here in Japan, we can economize electricity?? I couldn't turn off my computer...

Econominization of electricity?? (Is this proper English?) We are going to lack electricity this summer.

Everywhere in Tokyo, we turn off the lighting tonight from 8pm to 10 pm. The Tokyo tower, too. Are you going to join this event, too? We are having candle party tonight and we'll see what's going on from the roof!

It's sooooooo humid! I'm going to have my hair cut short today!

I found this old topic. I miss SSAWS. " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Try to learn Japanese greetings before flying. If you speak a little Japanese, then Japanese people become more friendly to you. Everywhere in Japan it's same. Even if we can't speak good English, we try to help you!

So, which do you like better, Chirac or Saddam??

I went to a German rap the other night. DJ Curse. He was OK. Yah!Yah!Yah!

I liked "ERDINGER Weissbier" the other day at German Festival in Tokyo. You can have it in Hiroo, too!

Hi Danz, "Lollapalooza" I heard this is good one and I want to go!

I think they are very different. which do you prefer? I prefer American Rock. it sounds more original!

'Kandalama Hotel' I'd love to stay.

I like local beaches in Miura, Kamakura, Hayama area. Those beaches are just 1hour from Shinagawa by train. If you take bus from Kamakura, Zushi(Yokosuka line) or Misakiguchi(Keihin Kyuko line), you can find nice beach there. I'll spend a summer evening on my favorite beach in Hayama soon.(Hopefully, every week in July!) You can hang out with us, if you like.

When I was kid gaijin=American for me. Because I was born and brought up in American Navy town and I only saw Americans in my town. This is related to a historical background, isn't this? I think Japanese people are interested in only domestic things and not so interested in the world. Experience of living abroad changes our mind. Nice!! BTW, I saw Japanese girls who speak English and Japanese fluently on the train. Maybe they are American, I don't know. But they use English when they talk about Japanese people, and use Japanese talk about something else. It was strange f
