It's magical.

I've been working like crazy.

Over the course of the past two days I've slept 3 hours. I don't have much to show for it concretely but I feel like I understand immunology much better than when I first arrived. I'll let you know how my meeting w/ Saito-sensei goes.

Magic is a pretty cool guy. He's from Poland but has lived in the UK for the past 3 years. He used to be a software engineer/ graphics designer in Poland but found he made 4 times as much working as a bartender in England, so off he went. He has very little stuff as he didn't know he was coming to Japan until Friday. Scary, eh? His passport didn't seem like it was going to come in and at the last possible second, an old guy on a bicycle Friday at 5 comes by and gives him his passport. He had already rented his flat for another month in the UK. Some of his grandparents were killed in the holocaust, his sister is a huge movie star in South Africa (they don't speak anymore, but he saw her in an FHM youtube video and was like, hey there's my sister! Wicked eh?) and his family is back in Poland. He seems to be enjoying life though. He'll be exploring Japan w/ me and David.

Sorry about the lack of pictures, it's kinda come to a standstill in terms of sightseeing. There will be a lot more once David arrives. Promise!
