This update has been overdue for quite some time now so I apologize for my laziness! I won't even be able to upload everything at this present moment because I'm cancelling my internet tomorrow. I'm in Japan for only 2 more months but I have to move into my own place ASAP to keep my sanity. I won't go into details, but anyone who is reading this site and is interested in working for NOVA should be aware of horrible roommate situations ( THE roommate from hell to be exact). Of course you can end up with really great people that you get along with, but I think the chances are more than likely that you're going to end up with at least one freak. But yeah bottom line is that I'm giving up my huge room, and a nice apartment situated in one of the best places to live in Fukuoka because of the type of person who should have never been hired in the first place for being socially inept.

Ok but onto more important things which are going to happen later on. My friends Brad, Sabrina, and Le (from the states) are going to visit and we're going to party like mad. We're going to travel to Hong Kong, followed by a long stint in Japan consisting of Osaka, Kyoto, Himeji, Nara, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and possibly Kumamoto! Ryokan's, baseball games, beer gardens, karaoke, temples, shrines, and awesome restaurants.

Pictures I'm posting today are of Tokyo, a baseball game, Nova party, and my friend Jon's beautiful Shinto wedding! Let me know if any links don't work. hitokiribuddha@yahoo.com

***Also, I have a section up for the memory of my closest friend, Kenneth Tsang, who passed away on March 28th, 2004. He meant so much to everyone he came into contact with and I don't know how any of us are going to get through life without hearing his laughter again. When I get back to the states I'd like to make a website solely dedicated to his memory and have everyone share their experiences they had with him so that we'll always be reminded of the silly things he used to do to make us smile.
