Yokohama, Japan

Yokohama is the nicest city I have seen in Japan... and there are many nice cities here. It has Japanese customs and politeness with wide western roads and western-style houses. Here is a view from the park.

Yokohama Bay Bridge. It leads North directly into Tokyo (which you can see from the taller buildings in the city).
The crowded streets on a Saturday afternoon

Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan.

Yokohama Chinatown

Yokohama has the largest Chinatown in Japan. My hotel was right around the corner from it. It was second most clean and safe Chinatown I have ever seen- the first being in Singapore.



Market street

This morning


You could see Mount Fuji from the ship this morning. I had to take a picture. It was much closer and larger than this picture would have you believe.

I know it may be hard to see me in my new Navy working-cammies (that was a joke). Please note the surface warfare device above "US NAVY" on my left chest. Hooyah!

Biopark, Nagasaki, Japan

Biopark is like a zoo except the animals aren't kept in cages. You walk around to different parts of the park and can touch, feed, and play with the animals. They have everything from snakes, monkeys, kangeroos, bugs, birds ... it's pretty cool.

Still in Korea .... ugh


I received my Surface Warfare qualification from the Captain. It took 10 months.

The corpsmen in the OR with some Korean guy

After weeks of working the same routine; 14 hours a day; 7 days a week; we get a little desperate to switch things up so we throw an Ice Cream Social!

A visit from the Army

MH-53E, the Sea Stallion. These things are huge and are primary used for lifting extremely heavy cargo.... or in this case to deliver pizza to the Admiral and his staff (notice the pizza guy at the bottom of the picture). No, I didn't get any.
