A Week of No Posting and A Crazy Man in Akihabara

So I meant to continue updating last time I was online, but I got caught up doing things so this post is actually not from yesterday the 15th but from the previous Sunday, the 8th. SORRY!! I hope to get fully caught up between today and tomorrow! Here we go!

Sunday morning I had set my alarms anyway so that I could get up to get on the computer but I was tired and ended up just turning them off. I did however hop out of bed briefly at 8am because Michael knocked on my door to return my camera. After knocking repeatedly the night before with no response I slipped a note under the door which asked him to call me when he was up cause I needed my camera back. So I guess waking me up by knocking was a better idea, or revenge, don’t know don’t care. So after that I went back to bed and slept on and off until I finally rolled out of bed around 2:30pm. Yea, I know, but I was tired damnit!

So, after I got up I puttered around for a bit and then got dressed. I went out to get some food and ended up exploring part of the town on the other side of the train tracks on bike. It was cute and I had a new experience of using the tunnel they have here to get underneath the train tracks. I ate in the little room they provide to cook on the weekends and chatted with Casey a bit. After I had my food I got online, as I’ve been doing a lot of, to chat with people a little bit. While I was doing that, Casey asked me for a box of chocolate for their lesson the next day so I took care of that too. After updating my blog a while I came back to my room to go to sleep because I wanted to get up relatively early.

As I was watching TV I saw that something had happened in Akihabara earlier in the day. From what I could understand I knew that some people had been hit by a truck, a few people were dead and from the pictures I saw I figured out that some people had been stabbed. I was surprised, this is a pretty big crime anywhere but especially in Japan. The crime rate is pretty low so I watched for a while and then I ended up watching some anime, however, so I didn’t get to sleep that early. Also, I should mention here while I’ve been watching TV I’ve seen commercials for a new line in the Tokyo subway system. Apparently it opens on June 14th, called the F line. So thus ended my Sunday (of last week).
