one day four lines

this is one of the last days i'll be working at kuwana in mie prefecture. i'll miss the kids and the staff, but i wont miss this thursday commute. it takes about an hour one way door to door and takes four different train lines to complete the the journey. here are some pictures using the newly updated hipstamatic for iphone. these are views from the various train lines during my commute. enjoy.

R.I.P. Rodger Swan

fellow jvlogger, Rodger Swan, has suddenly passed away. it's amazing how fast you learn things on twitter. i wish i knew him better than just a guy i subscribed to on youtube. i wasn't a huge fan of his, although he did have many. thousands even. his videos may have been a little too cute and cheesy for my taste, but they were always good, well edited and just fun to watch. if you're checking out my blog for a foreigner's perspective of living in japan you should check out his youtube page. Rodger has a lot more experience than i do and his youtube page would be an excellent resource page.
