Japan, Part Two: It's the Final Countdown! / お世話になりました!
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009/08/its-final-countdown.html
Japan, Part Two. Saturday, August 22, 2009. It's the Final Countdown! And one of these days after I'm done with school, I gotta find somewhere to live, move there, and get used to a new city all over again. Thanks to the past 6 months, I'd like to think that next the process is going to be a little bit more familiar. Next time I log on, I guess it's gonna be state-side. I'm not looking forward to the 30 hours of travel, but shouganai yo ne. I just hope I can fit all those stupid souvenirs in my luggage.

Japan, Part Two: July 2009
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Japan, Part Two. Friday, July 31, 2009. I wanted to visit all of the places and do all of the things I did last year, so somewhere in the whole mess of it, I managed to rally everyone up for some karaoke at ol' Shidax. It was a little weird being somewhere so familiar with a bunch of folks I barely knew, but after a bit o'. Everybody is everybody's friend.

Japan, Part Two: April 2009
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Japan, Part Two. Monday, April 6, 2009. The days are getting warmer, flowers are blooming, and (most importantly) the hana-mi festival is on its way! Meanwhile, things are still a bit frigid up on Mt. Bandai. Dr. Orr caught wind of our lack of tourist-like activities and took us on a mountainside adventure Saturday via automobile since the really neat places are rather inaccessible by bike, unfortunately. You must do what your seniors tell you to do. You must bow to your seniors. You must not tell lies.

Japan, Part Two: Bye Bye Andrew
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009/06/bye-bye-andrew.html
Japan, Part Two. Monday, June 15, 2009. The start of it all was on Friday when we went to Karaoke during the daytime with Hiroshi, then we hung out at Super Star for the rest of the night. Kawaguchi-sensei even made an appearance, which made the night one to remember. We figured it'd be the last time going with Andrew, but of course Hoshi-san asked us to come back on Sunday so he could give Andrew a farewell gift. Sunday saw Andrew's final visit to our favorite. Poor Andrew spent most of the day Wednesda...

Japan, Part Two: May 2009
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Japan, Part Two. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Mikoshi, Mountains, and Memories. Alright, this is getting silly. I told myself I was gonna try to get these things done once a week, if only for my own sake. The lack of schoolwork has taken an adverse effect on me, and I’ve just become extremely lazy. Besides, as the weather gets nicer, the office gets stuffier, and I want to spend less and less time there. Be useless this summer! Quite literally fell upon our shoulders. A cloth tightly wrapped around the stomac...

Japan, Part Two: 暇人 / What a bum
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-bum.html
Japan, Part Two. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. 暇人 / What a bum. I've got nothing to do. As a result, I've spent several of my waking hours doing the following activities:. Finally got rid of all those booze bottles that I had no idea what to do with. I think I might've gotten a little attached though, 'cause the apartment looks funny without the Absolut pile next to the trash can. And how the heck did two frogs get into my place? Sitting around in my underwear. Cannon (大砲, taihou. I'm making some progress!

Japan, Part Two
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009/06/japan-is-hot-and-humid-aizus-really-not.html
Japan, Part Two. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Japan is hot and humid! Aizu's really not so bad since we're up north and get some mountain weather, but I bet most places south of here are blazing. Speaking of which, I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow! Yeah, I didn't know until yesterday either! Jamie's cousin is flying into Narita tomorrow afternoon, so we're catching a bus at 6 am and meetin' up with Jamie's friend Nobu. Even though we're only gonna be there for about 3 days, it'll be a good time. See, Japanese ha...

Japan, Part Two: March 2009
http://hplinkett.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Japan, Part Two. Monday, March 30, 2009. We got our alien registration cards! Even better, that means we were finally able to get our cellphones! Esterday (Happy Birthday Andrew! That's pretty cheap really. Most mainstream CDs in Japan sell for $30 a pop. Piracy must be even worse here. Anyway, this band isn't really karaoke material, so my dilemma still exists. I'll probably just score some Asian Kung-Fu Generation off of Jamie and learn me some Japanese music. Thursday, March 19, 2009. We got to school...
