Nothing New

Here is where you can find all my pics from my time i was studying Japanese in Okazaki, Japan from July-Nov '06.

Well this was my first week in Okazaki. Not much going on yet since classes hadn't started yet. Mainly this was get over the jetlag week and figure out how to get around okazaki. Which i did, went all over the place (trying to buy a cell phone), bought a bike and where various stores are.

Week 2 - Gallery

Here is my second week in Okazaki, lots of interesting things i did, but none picture worthy so not as many pictures this week as last week. Still enjoy - includes my trip to the aquirium (kinda - flash photography was not allowed inside and we all know you can't really take a picture of fish without a flash in low light conditions without some serious equipement) and the Okazaki Castle.
