Mah-wage!
Last night, I went to a wedding reception. Read: not a wedding. That happened earlier in the afternoon and I couldn’t leave work but that evening, there was a terrific party for the good Dr. Ken and his lovely wife Linnea. Ken is a friend of mine from the Kitty Hawk and it was so…

My Summer Vacation
With a subject like that, I feel I should be writing this in a bound composition book. Which, BTW, did you know the covers for the black and white marble composition books have totally changed? They still have the same pattern but the firm cardboard is gone! It is now a very flimsy thin cardboard…

Kanji haunts me!
Argh! I’m in a U.S. territory and my blogger account still comes up in Japanese lettering. What to dooooo???!?!?!!?!?! I certainly don’t know enough to change it. Boo! So, guess where I am right now? If you said, “Mmmmm, not Hawaii?” I would say bad words followed by “You are correct!” The past two weeks…

Sayonara!
And…I’m outta here! It’s been an awesome, less-than-a-year in Japan but I’m so excited for what lies ahead. Although I’ll probably scoff at those words in a few months once I’m fully immersed in the bleariness of residency sleep deprivation. Things are newly up in the air (of course) after a fire on the G-Dub,…

I *heart* HK!
Hong Kong is AWESOME! I’m having such a fun time here and have been since Monday when the Kitty Hawk pulled into Victoria Harbor. After feeling pins-and-needles-y all weekend, things were looking pretty good on Monday. We dropped anchor! We were going to be let in! Hooray! I was on the first liberty boat and…

Round-up!
I really am planning on finishing the description of the best mother-daughter trip ever. I also need to talk about Thailand (awesome!) and even my few days back in Japan. When I think about Yokohama, all I hear is, ” Whooooooo-oooohhhh-oooohhhhh, Yokohama Baystahs.” It’s a song, one of many, that is sung during baseball games.…

Kitty Hawk to Hello Kitty!
I’m back after a 5 day “Sea Trials” cruise, which did not affect the medical department all that much except that we lived at work. Oh YEAH! Waiting for the next meal, working out, seeing sick call, realizing I haven’t seen sunlight in three days…all in day’s work. Except what I was NOT expecting was…

These are a few of my favorite things!
Have you ever owned something that is super meaningless, objectively speaking, but you find so awesome that it brings insta-happiness and cheer? I have that feeling now! About my coffee cup. Yes, ridiculous I know but ~1 week after I bought my Yokohama Starbucks tumbler (get it, b/c I live in Yokohama?), a new one…

I can’t read Kanji!
All the buttons on my blog page are in Kanji and Hiragana. Awesome! I’m trying to figure out which one I’ll need to press to post this at all. Fingers crossed! So, yay! I’m back in Japan! The Kitty Hawk came back a few days early after the Chinese government said, “X-nay on the isit-vay”…
