I thought I knew how to pump my own gas. Most gas stations in Japan are full service, so usually all I have to do to fill my tank is hand over my Idemitsu.

Have You Had Your Rice Today?: January 2010

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Saturday, January 30, 2010. The other night we went to a guitar bar called Kishin. They were immediately excited that we were gaijin and asked us to come up on stage and sing some Beatles songs with them. I obliged and sang some terrible renditions of Let it Be. We had to use sheet music because no one really knew the song. With the drawl and the howling voice cracks and everything. After his set he told us (from what we could understand t...

Have You Had Your Rice Today?: April 2010

http://haveyouhadyourricetoday.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Is a (much less expensive) cotton summer outfit which isn't that. Difficult to wear (although I still couldn't dress myself in it), whereas a kimono. Is a much more formal silk affair. As you'll see, it's quite a process to wear one, but I think it was worth it. :). The first step was to put on these funny camel socks called tabi. Next, I put on some cotton undergarments called juban. That's just part of the underwear.

Have You Had Your Rice Today?: May 2010

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Sunday, May 23, 2010. You know you've been in Japan for a while when the thought of publicly stripping down, showering, and getting into a big bath tub with a bunch of other dudes sounds like the most relaxing thing you can do at the end of the day. Yukemuri-tei: the footbath at Kusatsu. This is the only one you don't have to get naked for. Is often translated as hot springs. I'll do my best to lay it out here:. Next, proceed to the bank of sh...

Have You Had Your Rice Today?: August 2009

http://haveyouhadyourricetoday.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Karaoke is a little bit different in Japan. The place is called Maneki Neko. Which means "good-luck smiling and waving cat". You compete against a robot and you know that you're winning if your word bubble is smiling and his is crying. Or even a bowl of ramen. The biggest difference, though, is that in Japan karaoke is serious business. The get-as-drunk-as-you-can-and-make-a-total-ass-of-yourself-in-public. Seaweed&#4...

Have You Had Your Rice Today?: The Golden Temple

http://haveyouhadyourricetoday.blogspot.com/2010/12/golden-temple.html

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Thursday, December 16, 2010. This blog was actually written on November 14, 2010. That really wasn't that long ago, but it feels light years back. In our travels, we’ve seen a lot of golden buildings and even a couple of the. Golden Temples. But this one takes the cake. As are most buildings covered in gold, it’s very beautiful. A class on their way to the temple. Everyone awaiting their food. This was way more delicious than it appears. You m...

Have You Had Your Rice Today? And Other International Hellos. Sunday, September 27, 2009. After Kyle finished his music teaching gig, we had the privilege of listening to a koto player. The koto. Is a traditional Japanese stringed instrument that has movable bridges so that you can adjust the pitch. It's a really beautiful instrument, so without further ado, I'll let you listen for yourself. First he plays an Indian melody, and then if you click the arrow to the next video, you can see him tune it. 3 Tra...

the Dirt that's Underneath: October 2010

http://kylebutlermusic.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Since we started this leg of traveling, I’ve played on the streets, in the homes of couch surfing hosts, and in the common areas of a few guesthouses. But tonight we actually found the open mic we’ve been looking for. We’re in McCleod Ganj, and the place was a vegetarian café called Khananirvana, about 200 meters from the residence of the Dalai Lama. I tried out a couple of new songs tonight: Chasing Butterflies.
