...have taken me a while to get my bearings, but once I did, I thoroughly began to enjoy the experience. It is during my daily commute that I feel most entrenched in Tokyo life, as commuting is an experience that all walks of life endure together. After a traditional breakfast of fish and salad, and a quick game or charades with my host family (in lieu of a conversation), I leave the house for the hour-long commute to Waseda University. While I am generally the most conspicuous rider, I find that I am the one who tends to stare...
...presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama started his second day in Afghanistan in a thoroughly American manner: a breakfast of bacon and eggs. He dined with American troops on a military base in the capital, Kabul, with his congressional traveling companions, Senators Chuck Hagel and Jack Reed.

Pavel Matustik, who runs nutrition programs for five school districts in southern California, asked during his testimony before Congress Wednesday. For every penny the price of milk goes up, he added, the cost of preparing school meals increases $54 million nationally...
...Everybody is Libertarian about something in this country," Bob Barr told me over breakfast in midtown Manhattan recently. It's his best pitch, an oft-used explanation of why the Libertarian Party can leverage the country's many discontents. The strongest part of his message is the delivery. Barr is a level man with a rich, assuring voice. Even in a D.C.-standard-issue dark three-piece suit, there's something warm and tweedy about him--a perfectly calm spokesman for the often cantankerous ideas of his party...
