NIIGATA IN THE SUMMER

So ummm its been 15 days, 200 cigarettes and 6,000 shots of Sake or so in Niigata City, Japan. For those unfamiliar with the location (with which lack of knowledge you shouldn't feel bad about, since 90% of Japanese people in JAPAN are also un-fucking-aware of) its about 2 hours north of Tokyo by Shinkansen (white person translation = Bullet Train). A medium sized city, boasting a population of approximately 800,000 people, it's most famous for....rice. yep. Rice. The mundane side dish your sometimes forced to eat with your slices of spam or underneath your yoshinoya chicken bowls. Actually, since I've been here a new appreciation for the white grain has fondly grown in my subconcious munchie-onius region (scientific terms).

Heres a shot of the city from NEXT 21, the second largest building in downtown:

Weird sidenote about Japanese internet, other then it being ass-kickingly hand-jerkingly fast, it forces you to the Japanese version of everything. All of the usual legitimate information resource pages: aka wikipedia, Google, newyorktimes.com, xtube, are instead replaced with their distant awkward asian cousin pages. So everything is in bullshit Kanji and what would usually be an annoying ad saying some shit like, "dude, no fucking joke this time, you are number 10,0000,0000,000,00,0,0,000!!!! Click HERE!!!", it's ads for miniature horse farms or see-thru bras, all in Japanese. Yep, now you know!

OK PEACE!
