Brand New Creation - Arthur Zetes

Arthur Zetes Even though I currently live in the United States, I was born in Germany. I went to an English speaking International School (Frankfurt International School, Oberursal Campus) where I was surrounded by many people of different backgrounds, cultures and languages. Travel has been a big part of my life, and I think it is time to document the places I visit.
I am going to go on a trip to Japan, farthest from home ever, so I thought I would start here.

There we went into some really cool back alley shops. There was a place for companies, like restaurants and such, to buy the various signs you see around like "No Smoking" etc. I got a little sign that says "Push" for my room. We then went to a place called Namba Parks, which is really just a collection of semi small malls and s [View Full Entry]

So yeah, I havent written anything just because I was lazy. I did do a fair amount of stuff though. Day Ten- A Day of Rest The Day I came back from Japan we rested. We didnt do anything. For almost the entire day we just sat around. I went to the super market with Mrs. Tanaka, but other than that I did nothing. There are some cool pictures I took, though. The shopping "carts" are just basket holders with wheels (see picture). Well, actually, there is one more thing. It was Chihiro's birthday, so I gave him the redsox [View Full Entry]

Day six is kind of a blur in my head right now. Probably becasue I am so tired. Anyways, Today I think I just hung around the house for a while. Then we went to this old part of Tondabayashi where they had a lot of old houses and everything was very traditional. We went into one old house that was two hundred years old! It was really cool. We went to aunts house and i spoke english with kies aunt. I then went upstairs and hung out with kie and her cousin for a while. They asked me how [View Full Entry]

Aww man, I forgot to write about the past two days! Its a good thing I didnt do much, or take a lot of pictures. Day Four- So day four I found out a Typhoon was coming to Osaka. Ive never seen a typhoon in my life, so I am kind of excited/ freaked out! It was all over the news and public broadcast messages were made fairly often. It is supposed to hit the fifteenth. I sat around, didnt do much, and then I found out we were going to play tennis with Kie's grandmother. We drove in the [View Full Entry]

Day Two- Osaka Asia » Japan » Osaka
I went to sleep at around 11 last night, and woke up at five thirty this morning. I stayed in bed until six thirty, and then I had to get up. I got up at around the same time Mrs. Tanaka got up. I read some, and tried incredibly hard to understand what she was saying to me when we spoke. She asked me if I wanted was not hungry, so I said no thanks, probably in an hour. An hour later, exactly, she makes me breakfast. I am so lucky I live in a house with an amazing cook! Breakfast [View Full Entry]

So today was full of suprises. I an typing on a Japanese computer, so it is really difficult to type well. I have had to restart this about five times now. My first flight from Boston to Detroit was fine. I got on with no problems. When I arrived at the Detroit airport I was in for a few suprises. First, the signs are not only in English and Spanish, but also in Japanese. I thought that was cool. I had about a three hour layover so I decided to get something to eat. I called up some people, talked to them [View Full Entry]
