Big Booties and Switzerland

No I haven't died. Just not a lot happening here so I don't want to bore you too much. This past week I've been working on this essay of sorts so I can win a trip to Switzerland in May. I had to write something about "European integration: scenarios for the 21st century". I ended up writing what the British would call "a pile of wank". But I am hoping it's not too bad and the people doing the symposium pick me as one of the Japanese students to fly to Switzerland. They only pick 25 people per country and I'm guessing not a lot of Japanese students will apply (cross your fingers) and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one from Hosei. No one else applied that we know of.

The other day I went to the Edo Tokyo Museum. It's basically a history mueseum about the history of Tokyo. Tokyo was called Edo until about 1880, when Japan opened up to the west. The museum was pretty neat. It's funny cuz it's this giant building and the museum is on the 6th and 7th floors. It basically looks like a robot because there is nothing on the 2-5th floors. Just huge pillars. I dont know why they did that. But it looks neat. The museum let you take pictures and I'll put these up maybe tomorrow. I got some neat ones. For anyone going to Tokyo it's a must see. It definately explains the city well. Being in Tokyo, you can see how everything is so new. Almost nothing predates the war. Tokyo has been rebuilt three times since 1880. From 2 huge earthquakes and the war. And all three incidents left the city is rubble basically. And each time they pretty much completly re built it. Maybe N'awlins needs to give Tokyo a call.

Then on a complete side note, the other day there was this children's program on singing a song. It was like a sort of sesame street live thing. Just with adults in colourful overalls singing songs. And I'm pretty sure one of the songs, they were singing about big round bottoms. ”くりくりおしり、くりくりおしり”(big round butt, big round butt)
