Tokyo

September 5, 2010 | Little Tokyo Historic Street

We went to Little Tokyo today (yesterday). There's a mall with a bookstore of the same name as the one in Uwajimaya, and another store that kind of looks like Uwajimaya, and there are sushi restaurants and curry and spicy Korean food. Then there's a street with shops and restaurants that we haven't explored much because it was starting to get dark. This is a historic street.

LA is kind of intimidating. Then, Budapest was also intimidating the first few days.

Alarms

September 5, 2010

This is my alarm clock. It has a light, two front buttons, a 12h-24h switch, a mode switch, and an alarm switch on the right. Pressing either the HR of MIN button causes the alarm time to be displayed. Pressing both displays 88:88 and makes the clock beep if an alarm is on. This picture is to remind us of the first morning in LA involving this clock and my phone.

029 is prime. Except a C nerd would say that 029=05².

Innovations

September 3, 2010 Dim sum truck

This truck is one of the newest trucks to make its appearance in the LA area. It rolled out sometime in the winter/spring. I had food from the truck once, and it was okay. I had one of those Chinese "tamale" things. I guess I should check out their other foods - siu mai, har gow - that are more common for a better standard for assessment. I'm so hungry right now.

Temple

September 2, 2010 Wilshire Temple

Wow. I assumed that this was a church at first. I am so lame. Anyway, on that stressful Thursday morning before class, with just an hour to spare, Tiffany and I hurried to Koreatown where some company that manages our housing company is based to drop off our rent. Paying for housing was hell. Because we were so last minute, I was a little stressed out by the logistics because I had to collect the money while simultaneously paying for the bill. Stress-fuuuull!
