... and gave us some free postcards with famous hand printed Japanese art on them, which we both thought was extremely nice.

Unfortunately I can't divulge too much of what we did or we would ruin the surprise for some of the things we're getting people so I'll just leave it at that for now on exactly what we did and where we went in Asakusa since most of the shops we visited were revolving around thinking of getting people things.

On Tuesday we visited ...

... predajcovia by mohli prist k trznym ranam na tvari od svojich potencialnych zakaznikov pri vysloveni ich ceny. No ale tu v Japonsku ich ma asi kazdy druhy muz. Naozaj, Japonci si daju poriadne zalezat na tom aku tasku nosia. A zda sa, ze bez poriadnej tasky to tu daleko v ramci zvysovania imidzu nedotiahnete. Lebo ked nemaju Tumi, tak maju so sebou nejaku podobnu tasku. Asi prisli na to, ze s taskou sa lahsie cestuje metrom ako s autom pod pazuchou, co je zase status symbol na ...

... you're with a vegetarian! Thankfully the wee waiter man was a super nice chap & he did all the ordering for us. Basically in this place you got a bowl of noodles & basic bowl of broth for around 800Y. You then pay 100-300Y extra for each additional ingredient, I opted for Pork & Egg, Jackie opted for seaweed, veggies & egg. The meal was really very nice - i thought the egg & pork would be a sort of minced mixture, but no it was in fact 2 soft boiled eggs & sliced ...

... my yarn. im addicted to that as well and have about 1/4 of a scarf done, heheh.. youd be so proud! anyhoo, first couple days in Tokyo went shopping and eating around the train station and ate lotsa ramen and onigiri (rice triangles w/ seaweed and usually fish in the middle). checked out a nearby Buddhist shrine and park, which was quite lovely and of course used a japanese style toilet. theyre basically fancy holes in the ground w ...

... price of it would feed them all for a month...she felt guilty so tried to pay..they thought she wanted to buy a painting the size of a wall...it just got out of control..and I couldn't stop laughing)! Had an incident with a cable car Undertaken two sky-dives Witnessed two arrests Drove in a police car in China Been stung by Box Jelly Fish...(thank gosh for that stinger suit)!

... clothes,small towels to wipe ourselves off and we could have watched porn movies whilst in there enjoying ourselves charming. It was crowded, mainly with older males I will leave it to your imagination what they were doing Still he got to watch his show in english and I got to snooze. You have to laugh. My impressions of Japan have been very bright neon signs every where and I do mean very bright the colours are much more vivid K said it is illegal ...

This is day three of Zaid's refusal to shower due to the three stools to a stall bathing facilities. Zaid contends that the inconvenience of the shower hours also led to his reluctance to washy washy. We woke up and headed off to the Samuri Sword Museum, which contained fascinating information about the creation of samuri swords, the museum was only one story, and could better be appreciated by people with a very large interest in samuri swords, who also can ...

... che abbiamo gia` in tasca il biglietto per Bangkok. In Thailandia con quello che spendiamo qui a Tokyo in un giorno possiamo andare avanti la` per tre o quattro giorni permetterndoci uno stile di vita che non e` certo quello che abbiamo vissuto qui nelle tre settimane passate.
Stasera prepariamo quindi i bagagli e ci concediamo un sentito addio a sushi e sashimi nipponici. Questo ci manchera` senz`altro.
A presto giovanni

... supporters (including my seat!). The pre-game entertainment was pretty standard, with a combination of hot dancing girls, whacky mascots and a bit of blimp action setting the scene. It was once the game started that I realised something was different... but what was it? THE GREATEST BIT I see an extremely cute girl in a flouro uniform walking to the front of our row. She turns to the crowd, smile beaming, then offers a low bow. Is this part of the ...

We are back at Bryan's for the night. Tomorrow, we fly out of Narita into Bangkok. We went to sushi for dinner and the fatty tuna was succulent. I have added some pictures from between Kyoto and today. Between Tokyo and Kyoto are in my ipod and I can't get them out. Sorry.
