So now I am the proud owner of a Canon 350D. Photos shortly, and in the meantime i've uploaded the pictures of the Rat Race to photos.kk.
Philippe, a North Frenchman from work took me to the store to buy it. It important to note that he is from the North of France, because most words he enuciates appear rude and display disgust towards the subject. Especially the words PC Bomber, the highly discounted store that the camera was procured in. I hope that sometimes - when the situtation demands - my accent too, will be percieved in such a sanctimonious way. Especially by Americans.
Stories:
A couple of days ago, after spending an extraordinarily turgid period of time sober, I was introduced to a boat with unlimited beer onboard, and all for a 2000 Yen entrance fee. It seems that I was the only person determined to get value for money, and the score sheet drew to a close at 200 Yen per beer. I was pleased, and the boat journey was excellent. On the way home I found a man selling sushi bentos for 100 Yen. After meticiously considering the health risk associated with purchasing stale raw fish, I drunkenly handed over every note in my pocket, and walked home with a rucksack ramed full of fish. Got home, liver still swimming in beer, drowned the sushi in wasabi, blurred out. Fantastic night.
I saw a man in a pink kimono. I was assured that he was Yakuza. "how can you tell, did you see his fingers?"; the reply: "no, just the ambience". now, to me, if you are a guy walking around in a full on pink kimono, personally, i'm not thinking hardcore gangster who would gladly introduce me to pliers and a blowtorch. i'm thinking 'is this the san fran of tokyo?'.
