... Tuesday, Wednesday off, so Jess decided to take Thursday and Friday off as well to get a whole week off! Nichelle and Saffiya opted not to, so they were going to be heading home later that day.<br><br>Anyway, so we took the train to Himeji City and crossed the main street right outside the station and there it was, at the top of a hill at the end of major thoroughfare, Himeji Castle in all its glory. We stopped at this really cute basement garden cafe for ...

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 ...

Yeah, right. Nobody in their right mind would storm this castle. And evidently everybody was in their right mind.<br><br>An incredible breakfast buffet was the start to our day. I had been emailing a Japanese man who is a cyber friend of our insurance agent, Scott. We had arranged to meet Takahiro Minami in the Hyatt lobby at 8am. He was waiting for us in the lobby and as soon as we could we headed for Himeiji castle. Takahiro ...

Himeji<br><br>On my way to where I am now today (Hiroshima) I stopped at this place called Himeji, just to see this massive old castle. It's in the center of town and is huge. I stupidly borrowed a bike just to realise it was 100 metres from the station. Pretty interesting to get Baskin Robins and lookout at an ancient huge castle. That's all I have to say...<br><br><br>

... methods. Apparently, suicide fell out of tradition at some point, and the section was later used for food storage. Pretty castle and gardens The fall foliage made for a particularly pretty view of the castle and surrounding gardens. I couldn't help but think that it would make a really cool location for an event, party or concert. Samurai-themed wedding, anyone? Next up: Hiroshima

... to find some lunch. Ome Rice looked good at one restaurant, so we decided to stop there. As the name suggests, ome rice is simply an omelette wrapped around rice and topped with any number and variety of toppings. My meal was a tomato rice topped with tomato sauce, and plain rice with mushrooms, topped with a hamburger and gravy. Veronica had a potato croquet with gravy on an ome rice serving, and one ...

... I assumed she must need to go somewhere, so we continued up to the platform, and boarded the train, which was already waiting for departure. We found our seats, and with some goodbyes we got comfortable for the insanely long train trip to Himeji. It turns out that Tagawa Sensei purchased a ticket simply so she could walk us to the train. I must admit she made our last day in Sasebo pretty special, especially for Veronica ...

... zelf vooraf gaat, het echte vechten duurt meestal maar maximaal 1 minuut. Meestal sneller. En na zo`n dag kijken begin je er zelfs ook in te komen, haha! Het gaat er dus om de ander buiten de ring te duwen of op de grond te krijgen. En het is al genoeg als de ander met het puntje van zijn kleine teen buiten de ring staat, of met zijn pink de grond raakt. Deze is dus overduidelijk af! De mannen worden de ...

Woke up New Years Eve and did, next to nothing actually, just ***** about as usual! In the evening, we met up with Kim, Melissa, James and Gavin and went for a nice Indian. "Too Lam Booners ovareer pleese luv"... Nah, it wasn't like that at all, Simon and Kim ordered a range of veggie and meaty dishes, Saag Panirs and the like. It was a fantastic start to finish a year. Washed down obviously with the usual, good ole pint o' lager. In Japan, they pour the beer with ...
