I won!


Ok, so they have lots of game centers here, so I thought I would try my luck. I totally won this. I love this character and am quite proud it only took me ¥200 to win it (that is 2 tries). I may try my luck for her partner (in crime that is) today.


Food

Ok. So I have being eating quite well since I arrived. Below are just a few of the meals I have been eating. Please pardon the view. I cannot save on this computer =(. Plus the sweets here are so, so good. I think I had more sweets than real food on Saturday while out and about in Tokyo. The portions are large too, which is fine since this last week I have been very hungry. Although I do walk at least 40 minutes a day often carrying heavy objects.
























Ok, so that is what I have been eating. And I have been eating a lot. So now, I`ll tell you how much weight I have lost. I lost 2 kg. That is about 5 lbs. I have a scale in my apartment, so I weighed myself when I arrived: 48 kg. So then I started weighing myself in the morning to see if I would gain any weight while eating all this food. After week one: 47 kg. 'What the...' was my first reaction, but after some thought I was walking more and probably should be consuming more calories. So I upped the food intake and started eating sweets as much as I like. So I continued to weight myself. I remained at 47kg until Sunday morning, when after a day of gorging on sweets, I weighed 46 kg. My pants fall down because there is no butt to hold them up. I know many of you are thinking sardonically right now like 'oh poor Stephanie (that brat)', but I am telling you this so you can know the secret to losing weight. Walk up-hill for at least 40 minutes a day, drink lots of fluids, and eat whatever you want. It is working for me. Good luck!
No, but seriously, I do not know what to do. I cannot keep this up and stay alive >.>

My apartment

This is my toliet. The sink is on top. The water you use to wash your hands goes into the tank. Pretty spiffy.


Check this out. It's the key to my apartment. It's a little like magic. Below is the rest of my apartment.





More to come soon. My laptop battery is dying!
