Today it rained all day and was windy as hell courtesy of a Typhoon. I was walking down Ginza Dori (The Fifth Avenue/High St.) of Tokyo. My umbrella blew right out my hands and down the sidewalk. So here I am running down the street in a suit in the pouring rain 20 minutes before my first class. By the time got back to my school one of my fellow teachers said to me "Ryan you look like sh*t." He thought it was really funny. So after my lessons were done I ventured out in the typhoon and again chased my umbrella down Ginza Dori. Miho made a fantastic dinner for me. Some stuffed chicken thing with peppers and a home made salsa and pork fried rice. She is such a good cook! I am glad cuz I woulda missed my mother's cooking alot more than if I didn't have her cooking for me. Then we watched Small Time Crooks, a woody allen movie with tracey ullman and hugh grant in it...really funny. Now I am watching Coming to America on Japanese TV. The funny thing is that since it is in Japanese with an SAP-like feature that lets you hear the original english dialogue the English curses aren't edited out. It's a riot hearing gratuitous cursing on network tv...
