Introducing my all new pimped out Japanese ride. Yes, yes it is a bike with a basket and yes it totally rocks. I love my new bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle. It flat out rocks. It's got three speeds that changes in a simple click. It has a front basket and back rack. The back tire has a lock that requires a key. It's sort of like having a car. Except I don't have to pay for gas and it takes me longer to get to places but that's quite alright. It's been so long since I've ridden a bike that I'm just filled with so much joy. Please admire it's beauty with me when you look at the pimp picture. Most of the pictures that you can now see thanks to photo bucket(on the very top of this little blog there's a link you can click to see all of my pictures I've taken thus far.) Were taken while I was on little adventures with my bike. Everyone in Rifu has a silver bike but I got a black one because well they didn't have white. That's besides the point. This bicycle is a tool for adventure in this foreign land. I've already ridden my bike to next town over and my next trip is going to be all the way to Izumi-chou where there's a Electronics store and izukaiya. Next on my list for me to talk about is my new Guitar that I bought it for $68 that's about 6800 yen. It sounds great. When the video finishes decoding I'll post it for everyone to check out my guitar.

Sweet, I kinda wish I could use a bike to get around, but everything here it too spaced out. Ironically enough, I went in search of a department store for some necessities and ended up in a game/dvd store where I bought a new player and a copy of Snatch. Way to stick to the essentials, eh?
NICE WHEELS! Oh man this makes me want to go back to Japan! Also, why do asians always do "peace" sign when taking pics. My s. korean ex used to do the same thing. I don't know the origin of this.

Hey, I would want the black bike if everyone else had white...just to be different, the black bike will stand out more, and won't show dirt. You are going to be in such good shape from riding everywhere. I really wish Don and I could spend a couple of years in the country of Japan or China teaching English (or what ever!). Enjoy every minute of your time over there!!!
Loved the music! Maybe you could have your students write a song --the classes could compete to see which one was the 'best'. We of course know who would have to come up with the music and play!
Wade live in concert from Japan! that's awesome :)
