113 - Mos Burger - WYSIWYG

Mos Burger is a quite nice burger place in Japan, they make these quality burgers, they look exactly the same IRL as on the picture, so you can say you are note duped or anything.

Only one minor problem: they actually taste pretty frickin' lousy. Oh yeah, and also quite expensive.

McDo is great here. With some discount coupons you can get a BicMac menu for 350 yen (550 HUF/less than 3 bucks). I guess I'm gonna export some, selling at 850 HUF it's still way cheaper than in Hungary. Anyone interested?

112 - Uncluttered

Well sorta. I bought this wrapping paper to wrap my kendo shinai, which is not mine, but Milosz's, or at least used to be. Anyway, it's mine now. My parents took it home on the plane, that's why I needed to wrap it in the first place. Sorry buddy.

So I figured I could use the rest of the wrapping paper to cover my desk, which I did, and is cool, as you all can see.

111 - You Guys Are Frickin' MONUMENTAL

Today is April 22. * Earth Day. Critical Mass Day. 50,000 cyclers. 2.5 per cent of total population of Budapest. One out of forty residents cycling round downtown. Monumental.

*So you know how lazy I was recently. Actually, I'm afraid all May is gonna be missing due to some funny accident. Funny in the sense when you accidentally blow up 2 weeks work, that kind of funny. Ironic funny. Unfuckingfunny.

110 - Hattori Hanzo

Boy, what a stupid gaijin cliché.
I know I'm supposed to get extremely excited, but I don't. I grew up... (?) How sad.

109 - Esukareetaa

People waiting in a queue for the left side, which is the standing line. The other side is empty, practically nobody walks up the escalator. Oh, those lazy Japanese. How often d'you hear that?

108 - Obi Van Kenobi

While the road's under construction, the traffic is controlled by these weird Jedi knights, with lightsabers too short even to kill an Ewok. (Not that anybody would like to do that, of course. Well maybe except for Chewbacca, since the "Return of the Jedi" nobody buys his action figures, 'cause these new Ewok-thingies are being sooo damned super-cute.)

In this paragraph I'm going to try to avoid a cheap joke about how sizes of other things are proportional between Japanese and Gaijin Jedi knights as well. Oh crap, almost. I'm so weak.

107 - 2/1

Floor numbers. Okay, this one is boring for anyone but me. Move on.

106 - Matthieu

The new guy from France. Don't panic, he's okay. :-)

105 - Yokohama Sta.

104 - Tunnel Vision

Your brain is pumped with adrenaline, you perceive the world in slow motion, processing every single piece of detail that might be relevant for you to survive, and rejecting everything that's not. Tunnel vision.

Your body acts on its own accord: the result of decades of tedious training with nothing but blood, sweat and tears, during which the techniques burn into your muscles' memory. Subconsciousness.

103 - The Most Glorious Human Invention

My friend Bridget described mail as the most glorious human invention. Indeed, it is.

So I got this package from my girlfriend, Rita. She made me an amazing tee-shirt, (of which I have to remind myself to take a picture) and sent it accompanied by some goodies (yes, Hungarian sweets) and a letter!

Boy, I can hardly believe it: 2 days passed since my family left, my heart is still pounding in my throat, I still could not digest this awesome experience, and now this! A package for me, with the work of her little hands, filled with all the love she has! I'm being LOVED! How awesome is that.

Thank you. Thank you for visiting me, and thank you for sending me stuff. Am I getting sentimental? I'm getting sentimental. Hell, thanks, anyway. ;-)


BTW, check Brieggy's blog: Nő Experience (pun intended) She's teaching English and German in Gyula, a small town in Hungary. Her journal about continuous waves of cultural shock and crazy Hungarians is hilarious.

102 - Yokohama By Night

I wish I had a better camera. Or at least to be able to fly.

101 - Train, again

But this time they're leaving. Well, these few days were wonderful.

100 - Documenting Shinjuku

Editing those 3 hours of footage will be quite tough.
