Japanese Whiskers

Observations from and comments on my stay in Akita, Japan.

Todays exciting news: Basketball

2005-04-15
It's amazing how many wonderful activites we can engage in here at AIU. Just think of all the possibilites you have with a deck of cards for instance, or a TV set. Today's "highlight" was a basketball game. Went pretty well and was fun, but damn it am I in bad shape or what?! Half way through the game my heart was pounding and my lungs hurting. And I was working out for two months before coming here, and did improve. I'm glad I didn't do an aerobic test during christmas or so. The results would not have been pretty, that's for sure.

Oh, and I finally got to load up my Shuffle with some of the music I brought today. What a relief. And what a nice little fellow it is! I'm glad I got this instead of the bigger and heavier ones.
