... make room for them at buffets), Lonely Planet had a mention of one, and my brother had heard of them from some of his Animees so we decided to try it. We went to Sweets Paradise in Shibuya. You paid a flat fee and you're allowed to eat as much as you want for 90 minutes (for some reason they told us 80 minutes. Maybe it was b/c we were do American guys and they felt that we could take them out of business). There were many cakes ...

... nuestro caso la soledad, que contrasta enormemente con la visi�n de los gigantescos edificios que lo rodean.

Podr�amos destacar el estanque de "Shioiri-no-ike" cuya agua es salada y se extrae de la bah�a mediante un sistema de exclusas. En el estanque y conectado con un bello puente de madera (118 metros) est� la isla de "Nakajima-no-ochaya" donde el que lo desee puede acercarse a la casa ...

... some money on cab fare. Hopefully I can remember to ride on the left side of the street and the other vehicles remember to do the same. I'm also hoping that the rumors of English-speaking guides are true.

Adjusting my expectations... I had thought I'd zip through the castle and get to Kyoto early. Probably not. Everything takes longer than you think.

... angekommen, ein ziemlich v**lassenes Schloss - mit Horrorfilmpotential das ganze!!! Wied** niemand da - hauptsache ein klo gabs - klasse jetzt brauchte ich es auch nicht mehr (wobei da w�r ich eh nicht reingegangen - nach d** letzten Bahnhofstoilette in d** Ein�de - TIPP daf�r - NIEMALS DEN BLICK NACH OBEN RICHTEN!!! - the spid**man is having me for dinn** tonight) Die Aussicht war nat�rlich echt nicht von schlechten Elt**n - bl�d**weise ist d** akku ...

Anyway, after she repeated her invitation 3 times i said ok, they paid my beer, i paid my food.
NIce...what annoyed me was that she was inching closer and closer to me sexual harassment from a over 50 years old japanese lady?
whowww....
She then wanted to sing karaoke, so up we went, after some time i got a bill over 1700 yen, 17 dollar, went down and off she went without even saiing ...

... in the onsen and up the verges in their group, and there were lots of cute little babies. We stayed for a while taking photos, but soon got drenched by the rain so took shelter in an onsen lodge just across a bridge on the other side of the valley. There we had lunch- by then we hadnt eaten all day as we had the money fiasco to deal with in the morning, and had rushed to get our train and bus- so we ...

Alright, so I ended up getting roughly an hour of sleep, but I think it was less since I kept waking up. I let one of the Japanese kids sleep in my room since he was locked out and ended up on the couch and then trying to sleep in one of the classrooms. After Nanami and I stayed up talking all night, I really didn't want to sleep that much. It was a lot to digest, but it was a lot of fun. Breakfast came and went and then we had a final Q&A ...

... about each others culture. There were so many questions, confusion, and I think in the end, a bit of enlightenment. I still don't understand the culture completely and feel as if I never will.
