On Friday, December 8th, at 9am, I was among many that were ushered into the Best Buy on Cambie St in Vancouver. As we walked down the stairs, there were a bunch of staff that clapped. I gave my ticket to one of the guys at the bottom and he directed me to my basket… Continue reading I got a Wii

Bitter Sweet
Yesterday, I was at a cafe with my friend, Jesse. We each bought a coffee and a cookie for our nutritional kick-start of the day (around noon, at the time). I gave my visa card to the well-endowed clerk to pay for my purchase, and she gave me the debit user-input pad saying “You have… Continue reading Bitter Sweet

Okay, so I returned from the cabin a couple days ago (one day earlier than planned). I kept a mini-journal of sorts on my zaurus, which I will update on this site soon. I just wanted to mention that, by Shirley’s grace, I now have a shiny new gmail account. user: steven.w.j.brown domain: gmail.com email:… Continue reading gmail
Catching up; Dinner with “Mayu” & Friends :)
I’m at work right now, tired after having only a few hours of sleep last night – on the floor, not on the bed. Yes, I was suppose to get lots of things done (that *really* need to be done), last night. Little did I know, that when Alex entered my room around 9:30pm, that… Continue reading Catching up; Dinner with “Mayu” & Friends 🙂
Lying on Jeff’s tatami mat (lower back is sore…)
Jeff was gracious enough to provide accomodations. Have to leave soon. Going to meet Hana (she stayed at our house in Canada a few years ago) in Shinjuku. 12:49am I just got out of the shower (at Hana’s house!!) This is a big surprise: I’m sitting in a room that Hana’s family has prepared for… Continue reading Lying on Jeff’s tatami mat (lower back is sore…)
Sitting on a train, using my wireless Internet and playing w/my laptop :)
I’m with a couple country boys from Gifu (dorm mates), and we’re heading to one of the largest cities in the world. Typhoon Etau (“storm cloud” – not Japanese) is creeping across Japan. We left Anpachi just before it hit. It will probably catch up with us in Tokyo. I barely got any sleep last… Continue reading Sitting on a train, using my wireless Internet and playing w/my laptop 🙂
What a crazy-insane costly day!
Today, me and Ben… oh, sorry (Pat) – “Ben and I” took the train to Nagashima Spaland – a super cool amusement/water park. Why did we decide to do this? Well, it was Pat’s birthday, and the plan was to meet Pat and some other guys (Adam, Wojtek, Edwin, and some french people I’ve never… Continue reading What a crazy-insane costly day!
Just got back from Sanyo Solar Ark Festival….
Holy crap! I’m SOO CUT! The festival was awesome! Some of the nurses that we met last week came and hung out with us for a bit. Also, Sanyo has these festivals every year (apparently) and every year they hire brazillian dancers. I’ve heard of the term G-string before, but never “T-back.” They’re similar. And… Continue reading Just got back from Sanyo Solar Ark Festival….
Lying on my bed typing….
Japan Time: 9:00am, June 27 Vancouver Time: 5:00pm, June 26 I finally made it. The trip itself, turned out to be a little more adventurous than I had planned, however. When the plane landed in Tokyo, I had an hour and fifteen minutes before I was suppose to board the next plane (to Nagoya). However,… Continue reading Lying on my bed typing….
