My thanks to everybody who commented on my last post...! I'm happy to report that I'm still alive and (apparently) none-the-worse for the wear, though any potential mental defects as a result of my head striking the hood/pavement may not have have bubbled up to the surface yet :).

The day started like any other day - rainy clouds covering the entirety of the sky, gloomy teachers shuffling their way around the staffroom, bored-out-of-his-mind panda desperately trying to avoid stabbing himself with a straw while playing human tape recorder to the disinterested, disaffected student masses - so on and so forth.

Japan can be a wacky place. After living here for a while, you tend to get used to a lot of it however - banners featuring topless women advertising massage parlors in the middle of the day, 85 lb. wanna-be B-boy Japanese boys walking around in baggy "thug" clothing simultaneously festooned with the logos of every single NBA team currently in existence, mayonaisse invariably finding its way into every single dish you order at a...
