Unbelievably its 4 days already since I landed in Japan. It is every bit as awesome as I thought it would be so far and there is still so much to see and do. So Wednesday evening I decided I wanted to take the plunge and go out by myself for the first time. I went to Yokohama and walked around the city and checked out the tallest building in Japan. I did get lost on the way to Yokohama as I took the train in the wrong direction, but that’s all part of the learning process. Wednesday was easily the most awesome day so far as I went to Akihabara! My Japanese friend Catz showed me around but I won’t go into details about the Akihabara trip yet but I am definitely going back!
Today I am going to Nagoya and super excited about riding the bullet train!Thanks for reading and remember to follow me on twitter for updates @Jamaipanese and like my Facebook page! Short video embedded above and a couple photos below.

Getting on the train even in the wrong direction is still awesome because it’s in Japan! [japan] [love]

Excellent. IUC, the school for advanced Japanese studies, is in the building called Yokohama Pacifico which is right near the Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan.

Getting lost in a foreign city alone and survived to tell the tale must be the best travel experience one can possibly have!
Glad you are living your dream in Japan right this moment!
Getting lost is what makes the BEST adventures!!! Probably safer doing that in Japan than in Spanish Town like I did haahaha! [japan]
I could imagine just filling a card with pics of the Gundam Cafe alone.
Your night shots are epic man! Such awesomeness in just week 1!
