Been a few days since I've updated, there is just so much to update it is daunting. Most of my pictures you can view on my facebook since I don't want to flood the blog with pictures. Since I got here, I have been to Akihabara (The Electric Town), Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi, Tokyo, and Machida and have visited places like Tokyo Tower, Roppongi Hills, Akiba, The Golden Poop (not really an attraction, but its suppose to be a flame), Yayogi Park, Meiji Shrine, Sensoji Temple, and last but not least of all J. F. Oberlin University. I shall start with my picture of Tokyo Tower and I'll see if I can upload my video with a 360 degree walk around the first observatory. . . I couldn't go up to the second one since it is currently shut down as well as all the lights that keep it lit up at night.
Above is a picture of Tokyo Tower as seen from the Kamiyacho Station. Below is the famous golden Poop.
Yesterday I made the Trip to Machida to take a look at my new home for the next few months and Take a look at the campus. Turned a 1.5 train trip into a 3 hour one by getting horribly lost, YEAH! I have a picture of the outside of the Fuchinobe International House, the inside will come when I get to move in. Also I have several pictures of J. F. Oberlin, but I want to stitch them together into a horrible panoramic image.

The big black building there is the Fuchinobe International House where I will be on the 4th floor.

Today the only thing I really did besides visit Tokyo Tower was practice writing Kana, and make my Hanko. I will be using this instead of my signature in many cases and it is required in order to open a bank account. What is written is my last name in Katakana, but i changed it some. Instead of being read as the translation from Barr to Baru (バル) it is read as Baaru (バール). I preferred the double vowel since it helped mellow out the vertical composition of the name, lol.
