I fell off the face of the internets!

For a while I will be without steady internet of my own. Brian left Japan yesterday for Taiwan and took his internets with him. So, I won't be able to update much for a while. So, the real question is, exactly how am I am typing this now? I am at an internet cafe. But, not the typical kind that are in US coffee shops everywhere. This is Japan, so it has special ones dedicated to serving people. This one I am particularly at offers manga, video games, pool (or billiards if you're Japanese), darts, computers and such for use. They also feature a free drink bar for members of this place. It's pretty nice. What's not nice about this place? Using a Japanese keyboard. Finding everything mixed and jumbled up I'm used to, but some things are just horrendous (okay putting the apostrophe above number 7 is okay, but making it so that to capitalize something, I either have to spam the shift key a whole bunch of times or hold shift and press the caps lock is pretty ridicilious).

Other than that, things are going alright. It's also a lot quieter now too with all the people that had to return to their home countries except for Kyuu, but she leaves next Monday . It'll be a month before the new Taiwanese come to Hakuoh, and I am looking forward to meeting them. I feel like I want to do a lot more with the general populus of the school, which is something that has never happened to me before. If I don't get lazy when I get back to the states, I can see myself getting more active in various student groups catered to study abroad. It's a great experience and I suggest anyone to go do it if they have the means to go.

Edit: I will be back up on the internets hopefully on September 6th. Look forward to it! (And my entry about the Nagano trip thing.
