Storm's A-Brewin'

It's been nearly a week since my last post.  Once again, a lot has happened in said week.  That's actually the reason WHY I haven't posted.  But here's a brief rundown of what happened in my week:

June 13th: Posted previous blog post!
June 14th: Dinner and drinks at my favorite place!
June 15th: Karaoke with company folk!
June 16th: American-Style Birthday Party!
June 17th: Packing!
June 18th: Conveyor-belt Sushi!
June 19th: Tonight!

There you go.  Here's the same story in pantomime:

Photo of dinner and drinks at my favorite place not available.  Here's a dragon.

Company karaoke.

This picture is way cuter than the one where I'm at her birthday party.  But it was fun!

Wait, this isn't packing.  This is getting out of hand.

When your best friend makes awesome Chinese food, you eat it.  I couldn't take a picture fast enough for there to be much left.

Now of course after a post like this you're thinking "What could possibly be left to show of Japan?"

I have a couple of things left to show of Japan.  Every "prefecture" ("state") has it's own "mascot" ("mascot").  At work we have a poster of all the mascots.  Here is a sampling of them, with my editorial commentary in yellow:

Last thing.  This sign is in the lobby of the post office.  Please no negative stereotypes in the comments.
