Everyone loves a good mask!

Soon it will be the season of Fall. Usually Fall (depending on your location)is quite enjoyable with its cooler but comfortable temperatures and beautiful changes in nature. This fall however there is expected to be a big come back of the swine flu. (I refuse to call it by its scientific name mainly because I am too lazy to look it up.) A swine flu resurgence could only mean one thing, and that is pretty much all of East Asia will be in a stir. To help alleviate the fears of the people we have these lovely masks that not only protect you from swine flu but also give the appearance that you are some sort of Doctor or Scientist. Here is a commercial playing in Japan showing you how nifty these masks are and how fun they are for the whole family! I would also like to say how much I like the shots of each individual family member with the blue backdrop. Looks like they are transforming into some super awesome fighting task force, ala Power Rangers.

Well played Japan...well played.


(Commercial says its good for the whole family!)

Heres hoping it wont be a pain getting back into the country when its time for me to show back up for work.

What are you doing?

So what have I been doing lately? Well, my job doesn`t start till around December so I am just trying to enjoy Tokyo as much as I can while I am still here. I`m really not ready to go but my time is almost up. I have been really blessed with meeting some really nice people so I have been doing things like going to museums, English conversation groups, taking new friends to church, and spending an entire day trying to get my phone fixed, the last bit not so fun. Unfortunately I don`t have as much money as I would like to enjoy this great city more but God has been good with what I do have.

Since I will be living in Japan for awhile I would like to start giving more insight into Japan and Japanese culture for all 4 of you reading this =)

So you ask what am I doing???? What are you doing?
