Dr. Smiley

Posted on April 23, 2011 by superhappyawesome

One of the things that I love about Japan is that there is a mascot for everything. Even the dentist has this definitely-not-creepy-at-all-no-sir guy grinning out front. I kind of wonder if the resident tooth doctor has glasses, or resembles … Continue reading →

Posted on April 17, 2011 by superhappyawesome

Sakura season is almost at a close, already. It always seems fast, but this year particularly so–it felt like the blossoms were barely on the trees before the wind and rain (and maybe a few aftershocks?) shook them all to … Continue reading →

A rose by any other name…

Posted on April 9, 2011 by superhappyawesome

The cherry blossom viewing party was a great success, despite getting slightly rained on, but that didn’t stop us! Flowers were viewed, pictures were taken, sake was drunk, and a good time was had by all! That being said, we’re … Continue reading →

Posted on April 4, 2011 by superhappyawesome

You know it’s a good weekend when there’s Karaoke, and last weekend involved not one but TWO trips to Pasela. Pasela seems to be all the rage in Tokyo right now, and they have a huge selection of songs, with … Continue reading →

Posted on April 3, 2011 by superhappyawesome

When we went to Tokyo last weekend, the trains were still a bit disrupted, so instead of landing in Shinjuku or Ikebukuro as usual, our final stop was Ueno. This was a happy occasion, because we haven’t gotten much chance … Continue reading →

Tokyo is not deserted!

Hey guys! Here’s a shot from the Yamanote Line on Sunday afternoon around 5, passing through Harajuku. Tokyo seems to be mostly back to normal, though there are a few

Faces of Japan: Strange Kinoko Dance Company

Posted on March 24, 2011 by superhappyawesome

One of my guilty pleasures is Japanese TV. We don’t watch every day, but sometimes we catch certain shows, and sometimes we just keep it on for background noise. I like to think that it’s helping my

Japan is (still) Beautiful!

Posted on March 18, 2011 by superhappyawesome

Hey guys–just a little reminder that despite everything, Japan is (still) beautiful, and there’s no place we’d rather be. It’s been a difficult week, and the current stress is watching so many of our friends leaving, but we honestly have … Continue reading →

Day 2: Even the Tokyo Tower is bent…

Posted on March 13, 2011 by superhappyawesome

No pictures of major destruction, just this sad little reminder that Japan isn’t feeling well right now. Even the Tokyo Tower is bent, just a little bit. We’re still doing alright here in Japan. We’re ok on food and supplies, … Continue reading →

Sick Day

Posted on March 9, 2011 by superhappyawesome

Ugh, feeling really oogy today, so all you get is this picture. It’s not even new, I took it on an Otakon business trip to Tokyo in 2007  when I got wicked sick–the Tokyo Death Plague, we called it. I’m … Continue reading →
