Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Sunday, February 26, 2006. Just a quickie: I'm still alive, and currently buzzing on half a pot of coffee - the real, honest-to-goodness American stuff! I still don't have internet, which has significantly reduced my ability to look at/for grad schools, both American and abroad. Hopefully internet will be available in the next couple of weeks. Grr. Stupid Japanese beaurocracy. Peace to all,. Posted by Thom @ 7:31 PM. Okay,...

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Sunday, May 29, 2005. T-Minus 10 Days and counting. Well, it's been a long while since my last post! I'm already not doing as well on the "daily"-ness of the upsdates, so without any further ado, here's the latest:. My Certificate of Eligibility (COE) has FINALLY been issued in Tokyo. And should be here by mid-week next week. It's actually being sent to the Chicago Nova office, where I will meet up with it (finally! Busy a...

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. All the news that's fit to print. And remember: everyone's innocent until proven guilty. Or exposed to media scrutiny. Okay, this'll be kinda brief. Cause I'm really tired. Here's (some of) what's happened since I last wrote:. Earthquake. Almost died. Hahaha, no, kiddin'. Not about the earthquake, we did. Feel it. In fact, I was sitting in my second class of the day when it happened! Got up ea...

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun: August 2005

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Wednesday, August 24, 2005. Well, the latest from Nagoya is my trip to climb Mt. Fuji has been cancelled. Sad. The REASON for the cancellation is pretty funny: there are not one, but TWO typhoons heading for Japan. Yes, my mountain-climbing expedition has been called on account of hurricanes. I bet Sir Edmund Hillary never had this problem. =). So instead of heading towards Tokyo, I'll be heading to the World Expo 2005.

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Sunday, June 12, 2005. My sincere apologies at not getting back to you all sooner; but I've seen more of Japan in the last 24 hours than I did by airplane. Yesterday was very busy: I woke up in Osaka, had breakfast and walked around the city a bit, then got on the train and traveled about 2 hours to Nagoya with 4 other people (including a guy who lives upstairs from me), and moved into my apartment!

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Wednesday, January 04, 2006. First Post of 2006. Wow, it's gonna be hard to remember to write "06" on all my forms at Nova! Especially since I still have trouble remembering what day. Anyway, yeah, Happy New Year! That happened there; not in any real detail, just enough to remind myself for later expounding. Tell you this mini-adventure story about the night before we left:. To look for a bigger memory card for my camera&#...

Thomas Daily in the Land of the Rising Sun. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here. Wednesday, September 14, 2005. Well kids, it finally had to happen: I went and got my ears lowered today. And, as always, it was a dramatic change. For those of you who have not had the opportunity, nay honor. The challenge/fear this time was I had never had my hair cut in Japan. And my continued lack of knowledge of the Japanese language made this more of a potentially hazardous adventure. In Japanese, and then went home ...
