Regarding the post below...

I have now run into two people that I know in the outside world. This is not including the cops by the train station that have taken a particular interest in me. That said, I found a new part of my neighborhood today that has a shopping center, bars/clubs, an arcade, a bowling alley, and a Starbucks. I guess that this is what is thought of as a small neighborhood in Tokyo.
