As my stress levels continue to rise from an unknown reason, I thought I’d jot down some ideas for how to live healthy in Japan.
Not really, I’m just sharing some more pictures of Japanese stuff, because it’s interesting

You can’t resist a title like that, can you? I had some capsule endoscopy action going on. Or as they say in the business, a stomach camera.
That’s right! I went to a doctor, numbed up my throat and they shoved a big tube down it. As far as the procedure goes, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone; you feel like you’re going to vomit and choke the entire time, and some things simply shouldn’t happen in your stomach at the touch of a button. But I would totally recommend doing it if you have the chance simply because it’s incredibly cool!
With a headline like that, you must think I am a perfectly healthy, sane person.
Nah, I just wanted to post on a bunch of random things and thoughts in Japan I’ve come across. Like the Ice Cream Cap above.
While most of this article is focusing on how Japan is incredibly beautiful even when it’s not trying to be, I can’t help but share my latest reading habits, like above.
Totally trashy novels. Yeah, that book is about hot chicks, Zombies, and chainsaws. You really can’t beat that. When I thought about it really hard, I didn’t learn English by reading literary masterpieces, they’re pretty damn boring and hard to read, so why torture myself while learning Japanese?
It’s not that I like hospitals… nor ambulances, but I went to one, by one, last night. When I called for an ambulance, the lady on the phone was kinda nasty (my fault, I switched to English as I was in a panic… big mistake, her English was way worse than my Japanese), the ambulance took like 15 minutes to arrive, then I hung out in the ambulance for like 30 minutes while they tried to find a hospital which was still open at nighttime.
While my blood pressure and heart-rate were quite high, I was still capable of realizing how odd this was. Or not? Even in Budapest most hospitals were open quite late, some even 24 hours (and that’s Eastern Europe, keep in mind). And we’re not talking late-late, it was like 11:00pm. In Phoenix, all hospitals (that I know of) have 24hr Emergency Rooms. Then it took another 15 minutes to drive to the hospital. Imagine if this were an actual emergency, emergency. Luckily, it wasn’t.
