This is a map of ...... um lemme see Urayasu-shi the city that I live in. It is a couple of train stops from Tokyo. I sorta live in Tokyo but not really. It's like living in LA but you really live in Culver City or Santa Monica. I am great besides still getting over the jetlag. The ignorance of being a Gijin (foreigner), walking so much that the bones in my feet hurt and it being hot as Hades. I thought Africa was hot! It's HOT. I have already been through 3 whole earthquakes!!! Ahhhhhhh!
Culture shock isn't a shock but just interesting. More to come. Anybody who is coming to this country who has a shoe size larger than an 8 you are in trouble. I so regret not buying two extra pairs of shoes I was eyeing last week at DSW. I sooooooo need them.
Thanks for reading and post here if you would like.

Hey Matt! It's your cousin Pam. I am delighted that you are following your dream and I will live vicariously through you. Send your mailing address and shoe size so I can send you some comfortable shoes. Maybe I can take a trip to Japan before your tour is over. I love you! Pam
