A Head in the Blogs

Today I found out that a Typhoon is headed towards the city I am in. I figured it would be good to let people know ahead of time so they could be prepared in case I die in some sort for falling tree accident, well that is unless you don’t check my blog everyday. Then you won’t have anytime to grieve. In that case though I don’t really care that you have no time to grieve ‘cause you’re a jerk for not reading my magnificent blog.

So that’s pretty much all I had to say. I wasn’t really planning on writing another blog quite yet, so I’m kind of getting ahead of schedule. Since I already am writing, I supposed I’d better give you a little more.

So today I had to pick up my certificate of alien registration, which actually is more like a card, but I suppose that’s just being technical. I was worried about not having enough time to pick up the card since I had to travel to city hall to pick it up. It turned out not to be that big of a deal, and I was able to have a little extra time for a short adventure.

The first thing I did was go out for a little electronics shopping. I say this extremely small flash drive one of my friends here had picked up and I wanted one. I went to the store, found it, struggled to find where to pay for it, and then was off. I now realize though that I didn’t find what I thought I had so now I have to go back and either exchange or return it.

After that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I ended up decided to risk being late for class to get a change to try some very interesting food at this place called McDonald’s. I ended up deciding to order a Quarter Pounder with cheese. Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in Japan?......They call it a fricking Quarter Pounder with cheese because they are clearly less stuck up than the French. Seriously, Royale with cheese, what the heck is that? So anyway I had heard from one of my friends who had eaten there that Japanese McDonald’s was weird and not as good. Now I don’t often eat at McDonald’s in America because I don’t like it, but this burger was freaking delicious. There were fresh onions on the burger. All the condiments were in the perfect amount. Historically I don’t like cheese, mustard, or pickles, but they all went perfectly on that sandwich. The sides were also correctly sized. It occurs to me at this point that this should be a “Tom! Don’t Eat That!”, so now it is. Bottom Line readers, if you come to Japan, you have to try McDonald’s, it’s a piece of home done just a little better.

Also I got some McDonald’s Pictures you might find interesting. The head is like the Japanese mascot of McDonald’s or something. There also some pictures of what my food came in. I ate it before I got the camera out. Maybe next time you’ll get some food pictures.
