Happy march everyone

Ah yes, March, that magical month when everyone start thinking to themselves, "isn't it fucking spring yet?" Well it isn't so cold in Japan, but I am looking forward to the spring. Yes, looking forward to it, but not half as much as the vacation that I am taking at the end of this week. It should be a fun filled week as we travel all around my foreign home. From the lofty heights of Tokyo's skyscrapers, to the billions of deer that flock to the suckers kind enough to feed them in Nara, to the temples and rock gardens of Kyoto. Throw in a St. Patrick's day party planned by a patriotic Irish American, and I think you have a recipe for a good time. Now I just have to make it through this week...
