... can served hot.<br>2. The amazing amusement arcades. When you go near them you think they have a broken air conditioning machine because of this huge wave of sound that hits you but in fact its just the noise of hundreds arcade games playing at once. These are all incredibly popular but none of it is for money because its illegal to gamble for money here.<br>3. The really nice meals that they heat up for you in the convenience stores which are literally everywhere!!<br>4 ...

We left Hojo very early to catch the train to Matsuyama to catch a bus to Sannomiya station in Kobe. The trip was beautiful, but uneventful. There were a couple a massive bridges which were quite impressive, including The Pearl Bridge, the world's longest suspension bridge. It was very large indeed.<br><br>Once in Kobe, we decided to check out an information centre and the lady helped us with a simple walking plan that included the ...

... Asakusa, and Tokyo. There are also two different railways that run through Tokyo called the JR and the Subway. I feel like now that I have navigated the Tokyo trains I can travel anywhere because I have never seen such confusing transportation routes. Roppongi is in the southwest section of Tokyo so we had to walk to the Kyobashi subway station and catch the Ginza line down to the Ginza station then switch to the Hibiya line and travel to the ...

... flying Home. We went to the aquarium and saw a whale shark! I decided that since I was still sick from Cambodia I needed to end my trip early and go home with Matt. There were a lot of factors that influenced my decision, but the biggest was that the fun part of the trip was over, and I had 3 weeks at sea (minus a day or two stop) to look forward to. I couldn't afford to loose more weight or risk my health.

... be welcoming the half-naked beanpoles that struck through the place with a big smile. But I guess it's not my fight. I mean, we do let anyone into Graceland after all. The buildings of the temple though were massive and quite impressive. I had a hard time figuring out how they hauled all those enormous beams into place and how they have lasted for so long. I didn't see any mention in my guidebook, or anywhere else, of it being destroyed by fire (normally the first ...

... in nic kaj prevec poseljeno. Prav pozna se, da je tuki pozimi ful mraz, ker vse zgleda tko snegu prirejeno, podrejeno ;) Moja naselednja postaja je bila Nagoya, kjer sem samo spala ter se zjutraj odpravila v Kyoto. Vsi pravijo, da je treba Kyoto obiskat, ko cvetijo cesnje, no cesnje trenutno ne cvetijo sam je vseen lustno. To je najverjetneje najbolj kulturno orientirano mesto - v smislu tradicije in templjev in podobnega. Znano je tud po Geishah ...

... myself! the cool thing, though, was by the end of the second act everyone was laughing out loud. no one could explain what was going on. the cast had never had a reaction like that, but once people heard that it was ok, and fun to laugh out loud, the place went wild! and their costumes couldn`t hold a candle to ours! this friday i`m singing at a bar in sannomiya, and this saturday i`m takin a two-hour bus to a town called kyoto and doing the bus tour ...

... park. The place had large pools, rivers, small water slides and hot spring baths. Women in onsen-izakaya, Oh yah, I also picked up a phat ride. I bought a new bike for Y5500 ($45)...watch out J-girls!! Week 12 (1.9 - 1.15.03) - Not much to say here. I found out my friend Kim and her husband will move to Shanghai, China in April for a 6-month work project! We have spoken a bit about meeting up in Beijing to check out the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, so that was exciting ...
