Alright, today is Wednesday October 26 and I'm heading out of my house. I just put on my shoes there because here in Japan we don't wear our shoes in the house. Keeps my floors clean. It's a great custom that I also follow. And I just walked out my narrow little door there. Yup, I live in a Japanese size apartment. Not fun, don't recommend it. And I'm lucky because I can park my motorcycle right in front of my apartment. And I say I'm lucky because to rent a car space in my neighborhood can cost at least 200 or 300 US dollars a month. And I'm headed down to the coast right now. It's about a kilometer from my apartment.. And then I'm going to drive along the coast and head towards the center of the city. Outside of the center of the city is a nice area called Hat Kobe, um, and I like to go there and exercise. It's a beautiful day today. The weather is just sunny and warm and it's just perfect.

And I like to jog. And before I jog I like to do some stretching and simple exercises. And after I exercisingI just pass by the park and you can see all the children playing in the park. And I was hungry so I headed over to McDonalds, therefore negating all of the positive effects of my exercise. But actually, I only go there once or twice a year so it's okay, actually.

And then after I ate I decide I wanted to check out the electronics and there's a lot of huge electronics stores here in Japan. I'm checking out the USB cards and I just want to get something to speed up my computer. I also came to check out the SD cards and you can see these SD cards here are 980 yen for an 8 Gigabyte card. That's really cheap. That's like like 11 US dollars for an 8 Gigabyte card.

And I'm checking out some computers. It's just really fun to shop for electronics here because there's . . . you know, there's so much selection and, um, you know there's a couple of big chain electronic stores here so there's a lot of competition which keeps the prices nice and low. And then before going to work I headed over to the Harborland area and just decided to go on a short stroll and enjoy a nice fall evening in Kobe, Japan. And that was my day.
