I spend Gs E'ryday like it's my birfday.

I still get mixed up when I talk to people about how much things cost. "I just bought some food for a thousand bucks." I meant 1000円(yen). So about 1000 yen equals about 9 bucks plus or minus. I bought chopped up watermelon for 680円。　Yeah, i think I mentioned it before fruit is crazy expensive here. I need to start planting some seeds.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes and champagne dreams....!? I will take photographic evidence of my enjoyment of the various gifts. So what am I doing on my birthday in Japan? Well, I am going to go see an apartment in Tennoji and then go exercise in the park. It's gotten a little cooler recently so I won't evaporate while I'm out there. I'm sure I'll go check out some cake shops too.

Here are some pictures of my recnet trip to the beach with some friends.


Yes I realize this doesn't look like a beach but the camera man is facing the wrong direction. We were hiding under the boardwalk from the sun.
