Day 1789 ( Yokohama China Town )
Sunday, February 10, 2013
Today was China's New Years Day. So what better place to go than China town, which is about 30 mins by train from me. There were maaaaany people there. So getting into a restaurant was next to impossible. Me and my friend did mange to find a restaurant after waiting for only 20 mins.

Day 1790 ( Japan - A "Cute/Kawaii" Culture )
Monday, February 11, 2013
Today I stayed home all day as it was another national holiday in Japan.
-----------------------------
Japanese females generally thinks almost anything is cute. Even somethings that we westerners have to wonder about. But generally speaking, they are obsessed with cute stuff. Another reason why they tend to spend hours in the mirror putting on makeup, trying to (and some successfully do) make themselves look cute.
Hello kitty is especially famous here. I never knew about this character until I came to Japan. My sister would love it here. Why is "cute" such a big thing in Japan? Your guess is as good as mine.

You probably won't hear about this news anywhere else outside of Jamaica or possibly the Caribbean but hey.....

Day 1791 ( Information About Jamaica )
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
The guy who is trying to start a English class thing with me, is also recommending that I start to expose information about Jamaica more to Japanese people. So he offered to set up a website and asked me to supply some information.

Spoke to my evening student about some marriage stuff after work today. Who knows? You might be hearing some big news this year!!!!

This is the first time I'm seeing news about Jamaica in a Japanese news paper. Sadly, it isn't even good news.

Day 1793 ( Happy Valentine's Day )
Thursday, February 14, 2013
Today, a special needs child gave me a chocolate. I got chocolate from about 4 different persons today. I also got a pair of thick, warm socks. If you didn't know, the coldest places on your body in winter are your fingers and toes. So I really appreciate the socks.
I also ordered a new Laptop computer today.
