Three-Oh in Tokyo. IM SO HAPPY! thank you to all my new friends for:

french dinners
chocolates
denshi jishos
bath stuff
recovery snacks
fast food lunches
drives around tokyo at night so i can webcast
adorable, fun, awesome ROTF-LMAO, tabbouleh eating, basil sharing, questionable etiquette company
forced drinking of 4 bottles of sparkling wine, uncountable glasses of ume shu, a couple of shots of vodka
lots and lots and lots of water
tons of pictures I dont remember taking but jog my memory of what Id forgotten
more emails and text messages than i could even begin to answer today

And specifically to my Japanese friends- thank you for your patience every damn time we hang out and Im trying to communicate. And especially this weekend--after that previously mentioned o-sake list.
