1. Frozen my ass off on top of an active volcano, in the snow:




2. Wondered what the hell a golden turnip was doing balancing off the Asahi beer building:



3. Found a souvenir thingy with my name on it in hiragana! I could never find them when I was a kid, despite having a reasonably common name:



4. Drunk Mucha-themed coffees out of a vending machine:



5. Played House of the Dead III in its native environment, a shiny Japanese arcade:



6. Wondered whether all young Japanese schoolgirls have magical powers, because they sure do look it:



7. Eaten sushi off a conveyor belt (okay, I'm sure dozens of you have done this -- I even did it in Amsterdam -- but it was still SO COOL):





8. Seen a little slice of New Orleans inexplicably lodged in Kyoto Station (I love seeing non-English words I know spelled out in katakana):



9. ...


you just KNOW that font would have crosses through the Os if it were in this alphabet.

10. Marveled at how late-evening light can make even deer shit look beautiful:




I think that this list might be hard for me to make if I weren't in Japan right now. I can think of a whole host of things I've done that not many of you have done, but in general, I prefer to share weird and interesting things with partners and friends, so a lot of you have been there for the good stuff. :) Or, at least, the list I would make might consist entirely of dull things and stuff I did before the age of 18.

All I ever wanted to be was a linguist, because someone made the mistake of telling me they existed when I was ten. :)
