Transpo

In Iwaki, I’ve mostly been using the trains. It’s about a half an hour from my apt by foot or 10-15 minutes by bike, depending if my pants are on, to the station. Then there is this miniature Fuji-San that guards the way to the station. It’s a bitch, but I’m a man… so I got that shit.

The first few weeks of walking was giving me blisters all over, especially in the taint, but also my feet, because we had to wear formal shoes. Then I got a bike about a month ago. It made everything so much easier. So now I’m riding my bike to school and to the station, and my geishas’ pagodas. EVERYWHERE
