So I decided to take a chance and go out today. I prepared some japanese phrases such as "dono densha wa kyoto eki ni ikimasu ka" "which train goes to kyoto station" and "donogurai teeryuujo desu ka" "how many train stops is it"...I dont know if the second one is correct, when i said that the train station man looked at me and said, "train leave 6 minutes." oh well.
once in Kyoto i managed to get lost around the station area looking for Bic Camera, a 7 story electronics store. It was a wild experience trying not to look like a total idiot while wandering around wide-eyed and dripping in sweat. (have i mentioned that it is really hot here). This place has everything you can imagine. It has an entire floor dedicated to cell phones and only cell phones. There was even a floor dedicated to "healthy electronics" which looked like body fat testing equipment and smart scales and rumbas...
While in the electronic store, i noticed two men wearing identical clothing. it turned out that it was two Buddhist monks...and they were buying cameras and video games...their robes were cool though.
Once back safe in my little town, i purchased a small stove and made my first meal in my new apartment. very fun.

How was the first meal, man?
I have been avoiding going to any restaurants because I am not confident enough to try and order anything in japanese. i tend to buy rice balls and cook curry for dinner and grab bentos for lunch. But i love japanese food so it is just a matter of doing the deed.
