The most exciting thing about my apartment here in Japan besides that it's brand new and came with internet and all that bullshit is that I live about one block away from Baskin Robbins.

Because most streets are not named in Japan I have been attempting to use this as a landmark, but when I tell Japanese people I live near Baskin Robbins they only get extremely confused. I finally realized this is because the Japanese text underneath the Baskin Robbins sign only says "Thirty One Ice Cream." I have also realized that just like I pretty much ignore all the Chinese characters I see everywhere because I don't understand them, Japanese people pretty much ignore any English words they see.
