Fast Food


Alright, MAC! Yeah it’s not the ideal place I would like to eat at, and I have been trying out a lot of new foods, but at the beginning of my journey I’ve spent some time at MAC. Yes, they call it MAC out here. Even though I have a little money now and I’m trying to eat healthier, I find myself drawn to MAC every once in a while. Reasons why: #1 You can’t escape MAC, no sir. It’s everywhere. It seems like there is one every two or three blocks. #2 Quick and easy. #3 Coupons, Coupons, Coupons. #4 The service is great. Not just MAC, but everywhere I’ve been to eat the people working there treat you like you are paying big bucks for the food. I like that service! #5 And possibly the most important, they pack the fries in. I would say 90% of the time my box is stuffed and overflowing with fries. So, while I am cutting back on the MAC, it’s difficult for those reasons.

I was unable to try the Tomago Mac. They only sold it for a limited time. As well as the Mega Mac. They probably weren’t that good anyway, just some different burgers over here I wanted to show you. They would have definitely shorten my life span. However they do regularly serve the Ebi Fillet (Shrimp, shown above). Boy is that thing tasty. I love it. I just wish it didn’t cost so much so I could get about 3 of them.

M I A


Hello all. Yeah, I haven't been posting stuff for a while on here. Sorry 'bout that. I've been busy trying to get money, a phone, bills, insurance, and other fun things like that together. Speaking of my phone, the pic you see is the very first picture I took with it. I was walking from the bus station going to lift and I saw these かわいい (spelling in romanji - kawaii, means cute) kitties. These strays got the good life. Since I've noticed them, whenever I walk by someone has dropped off some food for them. They were soooooo little (ちょちさい, spelling - cho chisai, very little).

So, before I forget to post it on here, I will be playing a football game on the 8th of July in Osaka. It is the New Ear Bowl and 5 fellow teammates from CAL will be joining me. We will have practices for one week before the game with the rest of our Japanese teammates. Osaka is about 2 1/2 hours away on the bullet train, so I'll be taking that week of work off. YES! However after that I don't have anymore paid days off, hahahaha. I'm trying to get into shape. Mostly trying to gain weight. I've lost quite a bit since I've been here, but it's amazing what you'll eat when you are hungry. I'm getting the hang of it though.

That's all for now. I've done a lot of exciting things and will post some of them up in the coming days. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive, we have a lot of earthquakes here, and I'm lovin' it. Hope all is well. Take Care.
