<br>Woke up at 4am this morning to go to<br>the fish market &#8211; I'm amazed we made it! We had to catch a taxi <br>because the trains don't start running until 5am and the tuna auction<br>is only open to tourists from 5am to 6am. When we got to the market<br>there were no signs indicating where the auction was - we ran into a<br>couple of other tourists who were also wondering &#8211; and eventually<br>we found it. And it was worth it &#8211; to hear ...

... like a wel with a recepticle holding water above ground and there is some kind of ladle there. you dip water into the ladle with your right hand, pour it over your left hand (it:s considered the dirtiest), then pour water over your right hand with your left, then cup your left hand and pour water into it, pour it into your mouth from your left hand, spit the water back out and then let the remaining water in the ladle back down the handle of ...

I am packed up and ready for my 11am flight. I was hoping that this hostel would have the stale bread and tea that I have grown accustomed to hold me over until I got to the airport about 2 hours away. No one else is stirring, so it is time to head out into a cold and wet Tokyo Winter morning. It is raining much like it does in Seattle this time of the year. Just enough to make things damp clear through to the bone. Oh well ...

... Arabian Coast section of the park, at which point we got some seats in a restaurant, and ordered a curry sampler, which was just 3 small dishes of curry, a small piece of bread and a scoop of rice for $10. I found out soon after that the curry should have came with a warning that it may induce minor side effects, such as death. There was a chicken curry, a beef curry and a prawn curry. Veronica ate the chicken curry ...

... z. B. im Sony- und Macintoshbuilding. Wir sind da etwas rumgeschlendert und haben viele interessante Sachen entdeckt (Laptops und Mp3player usw.). Der Wunsch etwas zu kaufen war da, aber wir wissen, dass die Technik hier auf eine andere Spannung reagiert als in Europa. Und so besteht die Gefahr, dass die Technik zu Hause nicht funktionieren oder kaputt gehen wird. Nach diesem kleinen Vorgeschmack von der technischen Seite Japans ...

Heading home for Thanksgiving with the family and just marking the route because I am getting ready to complete my first trip around the world and wanted to document it! Not that site map is cooperating...but if you click on "show trip route" it might =) Well worth 20 more hours in an airplane to be able to say that.

... local rock band and wanted to start singing jazz. Needless to say I fell in love with this beautiful Japanese girl who just so happened to also be my age. In true Cassonova fashion, I gave her my information without thinking to ask for her's. She was nice enough to point us in the right direction before she had to head into a restaurant for a friend's birthday party. We parted with a promise to get together and play music, but you know how those promises usually ...

... they waste space. Inconveniences are only really the language, which I would love to learn to open the door to jobs here. Some people would be offended by the way porn is not taboo in any way here and is as normal as Heat magazine in the UK. But these are really just British things that are our problem, not theirs. Thinking about it right now with Adam, the ONE bad experience we had here was asking for directions in Osaka, one guy was rude to us but only because we ...

... Initially, when the English first discovered the island they planned on teaching the Fijians farming methods and business practises.This idea was quickly abandoned as the Fijians weren`t willing to give up their laid back lifestyle. This is still somewhat the case although the Indian immigrants (many of whom were initially eaten by Fijian canibals when they were first brought over) try their best to get the Fijians to work at a reasonable speed. Our last few days on Fiji were ...

... Super Smash Brothers on his Nintendo 64, and playing video games seems to be something that people in both Japan and America enjoy. + Japanese Candy Eating: Throughout the trip, we were treated with Japanese Candy, and my home stay was no different. While we were at the store, my host mother bought some Japanese fruit chews for Yusuke and me, and they were very good. They had such flavors as pineapple, grape, and passion fruit at the store, and we got a pack of grape ...
