Things Not Explained Elsewhere

Japanese Dentist

   Just think it would be cool going to a Japanese Dentist. Yea preferably one that speaks English, but still wouldn't it be cool? I think it would, so there.

Japanese Eye Doctor

   Same as above but replace Japanese Dentist with Japanese eye doctor. I might get some J-glasses or J-contacts. Prefixing a word with "J-" implies Japanese. Now you know. Maybe a real doctor too, but that's different.

Fertility Festival

   This is not sexual or too strange, but I can't include pictures because they are of one big thing. Apparently the Japanese carry a large "thing" around in a festival and wish for fertility. I might as well check it out while there and see what the deal is. I'll try to include pictures if at all possible. I mean who doesn't want to be fertile? They have a big population for a tiny island, so you never know.

Onsen Beer Train

   Not too sure on the details, but apparently a few other JETs in the area get on a special train and they serve beer and it takes us to a private Onsen where we hang out for a bit and then ride back. This goes in the "what the heck" category. Maybe I'll make a special WTH link for all the crazy situations like that. Just crazy I say.

Lose 50+ pounds

   Not hard to figure this one out. I love to eat Southern Foods and unfortunately steak, potatoes, corn, greens, sweet tea, and pecan pie is not the most healthy meals. I need to be in an environment where I do a lot of forced walking (if I don't have to I won't), and where the food is low fat and there isn't access to a lot of sweets. Hmmm. Where could that place be? I wondering...... I've taken a 'before' picture and once I reach a good 'after' picture I'll post them both.

Earthquake

   Growing up we see pictures of buildings shaking and you never really understand how that feels. I want to be in a small or large earthquake and feel things shake. Granted I'd rather not be on the 50th floor somewhere, but I'd like to see how it feels.

Drive a Right Side Car

   I'd like to own or at least drive a car with the driver's side on the Right side of the car. Right meaning opposite of left, not correct. I think only England and Japan drive opposite of the rest of the world.
