Mmmm... phridge... (peach fridge... get it? heh...)
Ahhh... everyday is peach heaven. :) Well, nothing really exciting happening. I did get some random cat outside my door. Wasn't quite sure what it wanted. I left my door open, but it didn't really want to come in, it just stood outside. Eventually I gave it some raisin bread I bought and it took that and ran away. Never saw it again... guess it was just hungry. Anyway, more peach foods: A peach fluffy cake/bread thing (wasn't as bad as it looks), peach filled freezer, different flavored (VERY sweet) ice balls; mango (I threw those away of course), peach (wohoo!), apple, and grape. "Because this icecream contains puree, you can enjoy its good taste of fruit." (yes, yes you can!). Next is, GyuGyutto (gotta love the naming, I think this is supposed either be the sound for squeezing something or breaking it apart, not really sure though). GyuGyutto is probably my second favorite peach dessert ice-thing. I also think the commercials are hilarious for it. It would take too long to describe so here: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=AbEHiPEVsB4 Then there is my peach filled fridge. Ok, not everything is peach (I also have Soy Sauce, Gyoza, rice, and Somen). Last is the awesome peach juice box drink. I love peach!
7/9 Wednesday:
Work... zzzzzz.... Nothing to talk about... so watch this commercial instead:
Japan: can even make mosquito bug-bite medicine seem awesome.

Yokohama's Landmark Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Japan.
I can see this place from right outside where I work. I decided to get out and take some pictures today after work of some parts of Yokohama that I haven't even been to yet. I started by walking toward the the landmark tower. I also got another shot of the ferris wheel and the strangely shaped building near it (which is also famous). The next picture is of the Fujisoft main headquarters (which I have been to a couple of times). You will notice that the whole side of part of the building is all glass (that's where the elevators are). Next is an old ship that is right next to the Landmark Tower. Next to the ship is a larger-than-lifesize statue of Ultraman and the Yokohama Maritime Museum. There also seem to be ship exhaust pipes in a park (no idea why). Random cat. Some neat gate-like buildings. Also a picture of the neat area at the base of the tower. They also have a Hard Rock Cafe here. The tower is connected to a large mall that has this weird metal structure in between it and Queen's Square. I then headed into Queen's Square, a larger, more high-classish mall. It had a large snoopy statue in it. I then headed into the other mall thats connected to the Landmark Tower. It was pretty neat inside. "Please be careful to steps." (hehe) I did a quick look outside and got a picture from a walkway over a street and the building across from the mall and then headed back inside. Next I found a neat escalator that curves around rather than a normal escalator. I wanted to invite it over but there were signs warning me to "Please do not play with escalator." (*sigh*) Did some more walking around and found an awesome Ghibli store with an awesome Ghibli display! Near that was a Pokemon center (this thing was huge). Before I left, I went back downstairs and took a picture of the neat mirror pillars that were in the area between the two malls, underneath the weird metal structure. Took a couple more neat pictures and found a cat resting on a bike while I walked back to my subway station. Eventually I will go to the top of the tower, but I want to wait until I have a clearer day (HA!) and more time (HA!).
7/11-12 Friday-Saturday:
Unfortunately, not much to talk about. Friday was work, and Saturday I spent mostly searching again for things I still need (Gah, where the heck can I find curtains or an iron). Well, Saturday did have Gedo Senki (or Tales from Earthsea) on TV, so I got to see that. Wasn't quite as good as I was hopeing. Mabey because I didn't really understand what was happening most of the time, or maybe because it just wasn't that interesting... I'll have to watch it with subtitles sometime to find out. Not much else, so enjoy this commercial (well just the first part, ignore the stuff after the commercial):
Japan: the only place I know of that has commercials ON commercials (there are more...).

A view from Bay Quarter (another mall elsewhere in Yokohama).
Today, in persuit of things I still need and curiousity as to what else is in Yokohama, I took the subway to Yokohama station. First stop: Yodobashi-Yokohama. Yodobashi is like Bic Camera, it's a big electronics (etc.) store. Finally I found a cheap iron (let's hope it works). Did a little wandering around near Yokohama Station then headed towards the Bay Quarter mall. The mall was pretty neat so I took a few pictures there. Then I headed across the bridge in the direction of my workplace. Pictures are pretty self-explanatory so not much to say about them. Last picture I saw a neat parking garage in the distance with whales drawn on the side.
