Hello from Tottori-Shi, Tottori (you can just say Tottori for short). I have been here for a day now and I must say, it is very quaint, pretty quiet (compared to Okayama) and even the random kids I pass in the streets say hello to me.

Me and Becs went around and explored. We went and applied for our Alien Registration Cards all by ourselves without the help of our wonderful manager Yummi. So I'm sure she will appreciate that. We also went and shopped a bit. I some stuff from a stationery store such as a briefcase, some pokemon stamps (stamps that you actually dip in ink and stamp onto something, not postage stamps) and some other misc stuff that I may need for my school.

Funny story; while we were in the store there were these two little kids who were going up and down the stairs. I believe their moms were upstairs in the store and they kept coming back and forth. Well I decided to say hello to them, just a quick "Hello" and they said "Hello!" and then for the entire time me and Becs were in the store they were running around and would say "Hello!" and then dart away and hide behind something, or go running back upstairs. I guess there is a sign on me in some universal language for kids that says, "I'll play with you as if I was your age too." I guess God wrote it on my forehead or something for ALL children to understand. It was very interesting trying to communicate to people today, but in the end me and Becs found what we were looking for...pretty much.

I also went to the 100 yen shop and among other things I got a blank CD. Why is this important you may be asking yourself. Well, I'm so glad you asked, allow me to answer; while Yummi was driving us around Tottori yesterday to get our luggage and what not she had Ne-Yo playing in her car. So we got to talking and she told me she liked Rihanna and Eminem as well (dude, I have such a cool boss). So me, being the ever so nice gentleman that I am, informed her that Ne-Yo had a new cd and I'd make her a copy. Well she really liked that. But then I remembered, I have no blank cds....so I told her once I got a blank CD I would make her a copy, she was very excited. Now I have one and I'm going to make her a CD..yay me!

My apartment is pretty cool. As you can see in the pictures it's pretty spacious. But if you'll notice, my living room is my bedroom because I have to put a little thin mattress down everynight to go to sleep on. Thank God I brought my own pillow, the little pillow they gave me wouldn't have cut it for too much longer. Feel free to comment, comment, comment on the Picasa web albums.
