Blake is 45,000 yen, 64 Euro and a credit card fraud alert later, in possession of an Xbox 360 and Daft Punk tickets.That pretty much sums up life in Japan right about now. My quiet little town is becoming a little more bearable between more links back home (Xbox Live), stuff to do here (I'm really into running, suddenly), and making inroads with the locals ever so slowly (I'm friends with the couple that owns the sushi shop, so every time I go there it becomes an all-evening kind of party).
