June, 1, 2007, I had been helping Togashi, a guy who had just moved into the neighborhood, get set up into his new home. I assisted in moving in the furniture, boxes, and tables. It all took about about a week, since a lot of his belongings were still in the process of being exported from his previous home in Tokyo to his new one.Overall despite the teetering process, I enjoyed welcoming Togashi into the neighborhood, and getting him acquainted with everyone.About a day later, I had the distinct pleasure, of being invited by Togashi to hang out.

I spent most of the day showing him what is was like in America. Giving him an overall tour through various schools, malls, video game retail stores etc.

After that, we spent the remainder of the day, playing on Togashi's PlayStation 2 with games such as The Legend of Spyro, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, and Sonic The Hedge Hog. Since that day, we became best friends, and hung out and day by day basis going through various activities that would last the entire day.

One Day though, I was invited again by Togashi, and he explained to me that he had an abundance of useless materials that he wanted to dispose of. He said he was willing to give all that stuff away to me if I had any interest in them, and directed me down into his basement, where I found the large cluster of boxes all scattered around the room. Countless thoughts raced through my mind, of what could be in there?

I pondered through the room examining every box, and took note that each one in particular, had a specific label. One label read, "clothing", another one labeled "jewelry", and another labeled "Manga" All these labels were in Japanese, but Togashi was kind enough to translate them for me.

I was not too interested in clothing, but jewelry was something that maybe I could one day sell for a high price. Other boxes were just littered with old photos, priceless antiques, and video games. I eventually made my final decision, to grab the jewelry to eventually sell, video games to play on my consoles, and manga since I did always enjoy reading them.

I thanked Togashi, and exited his home. Upon entering my own house, I stacked each box on top of my bed, and started opening each one, examining what was inside. I first opened the box that had jewelry inside of it, and could not believe how beautiful they were, and the amount of cash I could get from each one of them.
