Hotel Grand Sun Yokohama

... by measuring the sun's declination in the sky. We must also know how many time zones we are from Greenwich to determine the longitude. I went to deck 7 with Audrey and Jessica for lunch before heading back to my room to finish my papers that I started last night. After my paper writing I found the windows movie maker on my computer and started making a video of all my S@S trips. I have a feeling that I am going to spend hours upon hours with this program ...

... like coffee and pocari sweat, and got caught in The Perfect Storm II. The weather doesn't seem to build up in Japan like it does in Australia. At one point the weather looks like it may rain, and seemingly the next minute there is torrential rain, with spectacular thunder and lightning. This was one of those times, and the rain bucketed down, and a spectacular electrical storm lit up the sky and reflected off all of ...

... ok though cause kids tend to be blunt. But here in Japan, all the kids are taught manners so well. They really show a lot of respect. Haha so they told us to sing songs and we didn't really know what to sing. We sang BINGO and Head shoulders knees and toes, but then didn't know what else to sing. We then just started to sing a song by the "the Almost" called "Dirty and Left out." It was actually a song we were going to sing for special ...

There are many ways to say the Japanese equivalent for "I," all depending on the situation. Nice. Makes for a more colorful language, eh? The very formal word to use is ... watakushi. Not something you'd generally say when introducing yourself to the pizza-delivery guy. The conventional or standard word is ... watashi. Females in more ...

... the time-capsule. Three short speeches followed. Then along the piano played by the current music teacher we sang the school song. I managed the first verse without aid. The second and third verses were a challenge. It sounded that the whole crowd found the same as our singing became softer and softer. After the song, Mr Omagari, the chair person of the PTA in 1987, led us outside to the site where the capsule was ...

... world is such a small place these days that phone calls, myspace, vid cams, Skype etc makes it seem like she's on an extended holiday. Anyways, you never seen much of her since before Christmas when she got all loved up with her toy boy. For the now, I'm really unaware of her not being here. Just feels like we haven't had the chance to meet up in a while. I hope she enjoys being back in Eire although she'll be missed heaps ...

... coooool purple jacket and even cooooooler pair of jeans for just HK$300 altogether! We then walked through the Harajuku park where we saw loads of street performances.So many talently people were so boldly declaring their passion and showing off their talents. Their acts were really admirable and indeed no where to be seen in a judgmental place like Hong Kong where any difference is genearlly frowned upon. Reminds me again how monotone the ...

... 5 hot baths, a sauna and a cold plunge pool. First one was bubbling away and a deep green colour, which was due to some minerals in it. Very pleasant. Now the next one was still which I thought was interesting. So I stepped in and all hell broke loose. It was an electro shock pool!

... have visa, must stay for a year or more) but one in particular looked like a possibility - a 6 month project management role promising a very healthy wage which would, effectively, solve our current problems. It was a bit of a stretch to say I was qualified for the job but Neil convinced me I could blag it and so we decided to give it a shot. I called the agency and sent my CV through. All we could do now was wait. By the end of the week, we still ...
