I am a soundproofed room...
Ahhh, my first day of work out here in Japan. Wasn't too bad, I have to say. The translator guy I'm working with though, said to enjoy the short days while they last. Short days, hmmm, we started at 8:30 this morning and didn't leave until 6:45PM, I shudder to think what the long days are gonna be like. Oh well, I'm here for work, not vacation. Like I said though, today wasn't a bad day at all. Met a bunch of people, got to take a tour of the entire facility, which was pretty cool, ate lunch in the cafeteria(it's like the commons. People eat in shifts and I have a card I use to get my meals and then at the end of lunch you put your tray on the conveyor belt that goes to the kitchens.), and just worked. It's pretty much the same work as back home, except I'm overseeing the final testing phase of my project while I'm here. I actually have to do work here, they block all non-work related internet stuff, so I can't even surf during business hours!!! Good thing I have videos and stuff saved on my hard drive, he he he.
Anyway, I'm kinda glad I get to do my surfing at the end of the day...because there really isn't much to do here in Iwaki. Everything closes at about 10 or 11 except for some select bars. We were walking home from dinner tonight and it was about 9 or so, and seriously it was like dead quiet outside. And I can't or really wouldn't go drinking anyway because 1) This is a local town and the two dudes I know go to sleep early(they're much older than I am) and I don't feel like rollin solo 2) I don't really feel like drinking lately esp when I'm by myself, and did I mention it's a local town? Who the heck am I gonna talk to? and 3) I'd rather surf the net and catch up on sports, he he he. But there's only so surfing one can do at the end of the day, and I've read all of my regular blogs, minus Joemama's blog because for some reason I can't get it from here. Well, actually I take that back...I COULD surf the entire time, but dude, I don't wanna. Man, I can't wait til the end of this week when I can go explore in Tokyo. At least there will be things to see, I can be a tourist, and things are open much later. The only thing I can really do is run, and I haven't even done that. I gotta run in the mornings before I get ready for work because of the possibility of getting home really late. My foot is more sore than in pain nowadays, so I'll try a short run tomorrow...
Anyway, I said I'd post some pics... so here they are...
Check out this old dude, he fell asleep playing video games on the flight! Awesome.
This is the famous hovercraft I heard about through Drew's blog.
This is the way you're supposed to face in this bad boy. No, I'm not actually using it here, I just wanted to illustrate how you position yourself. If I was really using it, you'd see my knees cuz I'd be squatting. The water comes from the back when you flush. Pretty neat-o.
This is my hotel room. I told Cic that It was like the size of her walk-in closet. Believe it or not, the length from the one wall to the other is under 7 feet! Yeah man, it's tiny in here. Not like your regular western-style hotel. If this city wasn't so damn boring, I wouldn't care cuz I wouldn't be in here much. However, this is my cell for the next couple of weeks, except for weekends, he he he. I'd post a picture of the bathroom, but I'm a little tired.
