my house...well, we are in a long term motel/apartment right now. when we got here and got to this place I was like WTF, it serisouly looked like we were walking into a restraunt freezer and there are bars over all of the windows. i was like, is this the ------ ghetto, then later we learned most of everything is over there because of the tsunaumi's which can be alot more crazy than a hurricane. they have recorded wind speeds up to 183mph
every car that ive looked at buying so far has been automatic. the person that is showing me around has an auto skyline, which is still bad ***, but why. LOTS of auto hondas which i always thought a B series auto tranny was "very rare" in japan. its all i see.
no one mowes the lawn an no one paints there ---- over here. so everyhing kinda looks trashed. (everywhere ive been)
recycling is insane here. in this apartment we have 5 trash cans. all must be lined with clear liners. glass, burnables, non burnable paper (that wax coated ----), plastic, and regular trash. you have to wash all of your recyclables. thats japanese culture, not military.
the thing that sucks right now. we have 1 ------ TV station. i am SOO happy i got this laptop. :P
im suspossed to go out this weekend for a day of car shopping and im hoping the spoon/veilside shop is open. they are suspossed to have this CRX with a spoon motor/spoon components in it for $1,100 which is good to drive until feb. -all of the fees that you have to pay is insane to drive. although, its a one time fee and it makes the vehicle good for 2 or 3 years, whichever you pay for. so say for instance you go to the junkyard, find a perfectly good car (which is a common thing) you can buy the car for $50. pull it out of the yard, clean it up, lube everything, and then put it through the inspections, and pay the taxes (about $1,500) and you have yourself a perfectly good car. (so thats how I understood it)
anyways, heres a coke can. :P
more pictures will come this weekend.

Re: this is the "i made it thread"
glad to hear you arrived safely.
have you noticed how clean everything is? when i was there i couldn't even find a cigarette butt or a gum wrapper on the ground.
check out some of the used car lots. the cars are dirt cheap!
