Georgia Summer Cafe
In Japan there are often limited-time drinks and bentos for sale in the convenience stores. This is one of the limited-time canned coffees, the fairly nice “Summer Cafe”. Incidentaly, because it is summer, all of the coffee vending machines in the building only sell cold cans now, and quit selling the warm cans.

Go-Con! Japanese Love Culture
This weekend I watched a movie, Go-Con! Japanese Love Culture that I had spotted quite a while ago, and thought might be interesting. A Go-con is certainly a formal institution in Japanese culture, although it isn’t really quite clear to me what role it plays, and how I personally should relate to the phenomena. It […]

Moving to Oyamadai
Moving by bicycle On Friday, 2006-06-09, the movers came to move the furniture from the apartment in Fukuzawa to my new place in Oyamadai. Officially I was able to move in from June first, but I wanted to move as much as my stuff as possible before making the actual move. I also needed some […]

Roots’ Mountain High
Another coffee from the Roots line of coffees. I really liked the previous Roots coffee I tried, and I like this one as well. The can still retains the distinctive shape, and the coffee itself was pretty good. It wasn’t as sweet as the other Roots coffee I tried, but was nice. I think the […]

Traditional First Meal
As with any true Evans Family move, the first meal in my new apartment was an ice cream dinner. The Great Ice Cream Debacle of 1986 (?) is still legendary in my mind. The whole family was moving cross-country, from Los Angelos to Princeton, New Jersey, and had to stay temporarily in the Princeton Scanticon […]

Georgia MAX Coffee
I somehow managed to forget to upload this coffee. A few weeks back my friend Mami brought this coffee all the way from Chiba, where she lives. You can’t tell in this shot, but the can is maybe 1.3 times the size of the normal coffee cans, hence the MAX I assume. It was a […]

Happy Road Oyamadai
Happy Road Oyamadai. It is a super cute little town. This Baskin Robbins, a mere seconds from my apartment, could spell trouble for me. My living room, sans furniture. The bedroom is off to the left. Click on the picture for more apartment shots. In June 2006, I made the move to an apartment of […]

Canned coffee backlog
This past week I’ve had four new coffees – I think. They were all quite good, a bit sweet, and enjoyable. I really think the Fire brand of coffees has been quite good overall, and I like Boss just about always. All of these pictures were also taken with the camera on my phone, which […]

Picnic in Komazawa Park, Apartment Hunting, Writing Proposals
I’ve been very busy lately. Last week was a brutal week at work, as I was working on writing a funding proposal for a “Young Researcher” grant. It was supposed to be in Japanse, so I wrote a draft in English, then one of the secretaries here translated some of it, and I translated the […]

Roots Inspiration
Today’s coffee, picked up at the local 7-11, is the inspirational Roots Inspiration. Actually, I really like this coffee for three reasons. First, I think it has an attractive color scheme, mixing some light browns and an imrpobable purple. Second, look at the can! It’s not just a normal, boring cylinder, it has some strange […]

We Are Scientists completely blow away Tokyo
So last night We Are Scientists, one of my all time favorite bands who just happen to hail from New York, came to play the Shibuya Duo Music Exchange in Tokyo. One of the things that I’ve really missed since moving to Tokyo two months ago, or more to the point, moving away from New […]

Tokyo Giants Baseball game
Yesterday I went to the Tokyo Dome to watch a Tokyo Giants game with a friend. It was a blast. My roomate gave me the tickets, which he got from work. He’s a lawyer and his company represents the Giants, so sometimes he gets cool things like this. The seats we had were amazing, right […]
