Life in Japan – Part 2
At the time of my last post I was just getting settled into my apartment. It’s been over a week since then and in that time I’ve had a chance to experience a real Tokyo lifestyle. It’s hard to summarize what I’ve been doing, but I’ve been sending a lot of time studying at the […]

Life in Japan
Kudanshita Picture from my balcony. I moved to Japan four days ago and I haven’t had a chance to write any updates until now. Mostly I’ve been getting setup with an apartment and cell phone, talking to a lot of people, and getting used to the subway and food options. I came here with no […]

My Extreme Multivitamin Case Study
My experience with multivitamin supplements dates back to the days when I ran track in high school. Before I started taking supplements, my performance fluctuated wildly–on some days I would have no endurance and on other days I would feel great.
