"It’s really easy to have lived in two different places and criticize the one you’re currently in. There are good things and bad things about both, and that’s that. So I can’t buy a 1 liter can of beer out of a vending machine 100 yards away from my house. Oh well. I couldn’t buy Advil in Japan. So I can’t win panties out of a crane machine in Minnesota. Oh well. I don’t wear panties."
Alex, I think this may be one of the best quotes I've seen for a long time. Kudos, my friend. And I'd better get a big hug when you get yourself back up to Tacoma : )

I can't take it any more! I have decided to come to Japan. I can no longer sit in my house in Tacoma reading blogs about Japan from 5! of my friends. I am getting a short summer job at REI in Tacoma to save up and I hope to get out there in like early July. Will you still be over there?
Oh man Hell yeah! I get more and more jealous by the day, I gotta tell ya. Always good talking to you too, even if you do forget and navigate away from gmail, you goon.
Gonna start looking into the programs and resources available to me to get to Japan for my junior year. Hopefully everything will work out.
Jealousy Damnit! I wanna be the one hitting on and being hit on in turn by hot japanese women! I'm so tall they could all hit on me at once! THINK ABOUT IT!
