Me, Bez, Mike, and my LPO Lovell in front of the beer machine with some 40's. Cool picture I think.


Don't look at the monkeys or they will bite your arm off. Of course I didn't see a single one. I was sad.


Me holding his giant boulder up. It was very heavy.


Me petting a deer.

Here is my barracks. Not much, but it keeps me warm.


Here is the first Japanese food I ate. It was pretty good.


And here is the restaurant that I ate it at.


Here is me at the Kintai Bridge Map.

To be continued....

Well I've now been in Japan for over a month. Two more to go. It has gone by fast. I've been working a lot lately, so I haven't been able to get out in town other than those first two times.

1st Time: We went to Kintai Bridge/Castle. It was pretty cool. We first just walked off base and just looked around. Mostly it is just a bunch of stores with American clothes to buy and some bars. We got down to a 7-11...yes they have them here...and we got a taxi to the bridge. It's basically an old bridge and goes across a river and then you can take a tram up to a museum. Go a lot of cool pictures and I am going to try and post them again this week. Before we went up to the castle we ate at this random restaurant. It was good, I had this noodle soup with rice wrapped in seaweed. Good stuff. All in all it was a good time.

2nd Time: We went out a different gate and walked all the way to this 5-story mall. The first story was a supermarket, and each floor had different things: clothes, toys, electronics, food court. We then walked to a outlet mall type of place, but it was all closed, so we wondered some more and ended up at a Japanese version of Best Buy. After that we started walking back towards base and of course there wasn't any cabs on the way back. Needless to say I was one tired pup after that walk.

Haven't really had a chance to go out since. Working a lot and been too tired. Maybe the weekend after next we won't work and I won't be on duty. Anyways that's about it from me. Hopfully I'll have some pictures up for you all this week. Take care.
