			Bike Adventure - Departure...
	Alex, a buddy of mine who I've known almost my whole time in Japan (about 4 years), sold me his bike before he left Japan for good and headed home to Canada. Anyway Alex lives (lived) about an hour train ride from where I live in Tokyo. Having no other way to get the bike home, I naturally decided to ride. Here I am in front of his house about to start my trek, fresh and energetic. The time is 11:45 Monday morning.

Bike Adventure - Arrival...
		Here I am having just arrived at my house. The time is now 4:20 in the afternoon and I'm tired, sunburnt and ready for bed. I guess not having ridden a bike for a year or so, then suddenly riding one for more than four hours can kind of drain you. It was an interesting ride though, I managed to get home pretty much without a map, following the street signs and my instincts. I biked about 50-60 kilometers when you include detours and backtracking. Anyway Alex if you're reading this, thanks! It's a good bike.

Fruit Flies...

Our house has a fruit fly problem and this is my current effort to erradicate them. It consists of a metal base with four straws stuck in it. The straws are covered with an unbelievably sticky substance that smells sugary sweet (Haven't tasted it yet), and costs 500 yen at your local drugstore. Current estimate of hand swatted flies is roughly 200. Current number of guests stuck to the straws is 6 (over a one month period). Conclusion? Save your money. And If you're wondering, yes, those three specks are flies.
