Here's a video I made from pictures I took while taking a trip up Aobayama mountain and Yamadera temple, in Yamagata prefecture.  Yamadera is an over 1000 year old Buddhist temple, and was pretty amazing to walk up and see.  I had a lot of fun there, and I hope to go back on a clear day maybe in the Spring.

Cell phone straps here are funny, at least to me.  I've seen a few girls with them in the US, but that's pretty much it.  Here, EEEEVVERYBODY has one.  All of my professors do.  Clearly, it's not a girl thing here... its just normal.  So, I went and got one for myself.  I talk about them for a bit here.  I prolly won't do a full post about this for my school, so I won't have a full written version of the video. 

Cash Money!!

Quick post from my lab.  I will add in the written part later.

All gone :(

Ok quick update...

So my hard drive failed on me.  Had to reinstall windows, everything is gone.  That's why I haven't done much recently.  I'm afraid to put more on my comp and lose it all again.  I have a new one incoming from the US, and hopefully it will be here by the end of the week.  I think I'll try to get something up tomorrow morning, something simple at least.
