One of the most interesting things to do while in Japan is walk around. Nothing else, you don’t take a car, you don’t take a bike, you simply walk. It’s not only a heck of a lot of fun and you get to see everything around you, but you also get to have a great workout in the process!

As most (all?) of you know, I used to live in Japan. While there I did a fair amount of video-making and figured what the hell, I may as well put them on YouTube. Well, since YouTube nuked my last account, I have to re-upload EVERYTHING. So here are five videos from my travel. I’ll be trying to do five at a time just so that I don’t completely bog down my site with even more videos (sorry for the recent over-doing it of movies!).
Enjoy!
Another semester has finally begun throughout the world of university. In Canada, Brazil, Japan, the United States, across Europe and other parts of the world too. Everywhere students are scrambling to find their new classes, complaining about being over-charged for text books (seriously, a 60 page book for $70!!!) and trying to figure out their new schedules. One trait that many young girls (usually 17-21) sadly do all too often is put on copious amounts of perfume in their first few days of school until a close friend tells them that they smell like the inside of a hookers… shoe.
Memories of my second last term come back and I still fill with despair and stress at the mere thought of that time. From having to re-take an economics class, struggling through an Environmental Philosophy class to having to write the two more difficult exams of my university career while in the middle of a broken fever. FUn times indeed when you start dripping on a twelve page essay question only to use up all of your white out to fix your lettering due to the shivers.
I’m still sad to say that I have never been on a pub crawl. Perhaps I’ll have to just join up the next time I see one already in progress at one of the bars around the city. Wrist band? No, that’s fine. Thanks though.
From my time in university, I have been given a completely new perspective on many topics that affect us all on a daily basis. The view of the media, commercialization, human sociaol class interaction, the role of women & men in the current society and much more on various interactionisms. Wether this will aid in the future or not is still up in the air but I beleive that this form of education has bettered me in many ways. With luck, it will pay off in the not too distant future.
One thing that surprised me was the number of different ‘kinds’ of students. The young to the very old all have their own resaons for attending. Some plan to get in and out quickly while others want to take their time, sample from as many disciplines as possoble and don’t mind spending an extra few years to fine hone their education. I would certainly not fit into that ‘let’s take our sweet time’ group.
I have noticed there are many different styles of clothing that people tend to fit into. Quite notably a small handful of those who try their damndest to not conform their social styles, yet happily file into their 300-person economics, nutition, commerce and law classes like every other person that they would so happily call a ‘mindless sheep’. One such student I can think of is a black-died hair white ‘chick’ probably at the age of 20-21 who dresses in a hyper-goth fashion. Someone might consider telling her that being goth is making her akward and unlike the ‘goth chick’ from NCIS (Pauley Perrette), she WON’T find work in nearly any industry when she shows up to a job interview with blood-splattered black vinyl, all while trying to make sure her fake vampire teeth aren’t falling out. It kind of makes you hope this style of personality doesn’t procreate.
How about you? Any fun experiences or tales from your post-secondary education? Post them in the comments & I’ll fire them up on the main page (OR CHECK OUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED FORUM!!!!!! HTTP://WWW.POZLAND.COM/FORUM WOOOOT!!!
Oh, and one other thing… any time I walk by the womens toilet on the 2nd floor of Thorvalson building… it smells either like bad farts or good durian… I’m not sure which.
Oh… LAST thing…. has anyone else noticed that the new Batman has a lisp?
Bad Guy: “I swear to God!”
Batman: “Thwear to me!”
I don’t know much about aliens, let alone the movie franches ‘Predator’, but I’m pretty sure that the predator on the left hate a few too many doughnuts between the time leaving his home planet and landing on earth.
