Hotel New Kotobuki Matsumoto

... all�. Desde luego no se trata de una de las zonas de las que m�s disfrutamos pero merece la pena caminar por el glamour de "Roppongi Hills" e incluso dejarse caer por uno de sus aseos p�blicos para investigar todas las opciones que te dan sus inodoros (chorros, vaporizador, asiento calefactado, m�sica, etc.). En su entrada y junto al acceso al metro est� la Plaza "Roku-Roku" con la celebre escultura ...

Settling in in Matsumoto. Spent about 4 1/2 hours on trains today, slow one from Nikko to Utsunomiya, a shinkansen to Omiya, another shinkansen to Nagano, then another slow train to Matsumoto. Signs of civilization at the Matsumoto station - a Starbucks!

Hoping that I can find the castle tomorrow. The ryokan has bicycles to lend, so I'm going to try and ...

... Natto ohne Reis nur pur mit etwas Senf und Sojasauce nicht schmeckt. Wenig Natto mit viel Reis - okay. Viel Natto ohne Reis - no go. das wusst ich eigentlich schon seit dem letzten besuch in Japan...ab** man kanns ja nochmal v**suchen, weils doch so gesund ist.
Jetzt haben wir nochmal eine Nacht dazugebucht und wollen morgen etwas ins gebirgig**e Landesinn**e mit den Zug, mal sehen ob wir den B�ren doch noch zu gesicht bekommen... (hoffenlich nicht)

First, a night in a youthhostel in JP sets you back around 35 to 40 dollar per night...nothing included, except the privilege to check in after 4 pm and leave before nine...ah...and at 9 pm they lock you in...thanks, then i prefer to sleep in my sleepingbag in a park,more fun, mmore adventure, more cheap....

... ones were burning hot. It was very relaxing and you could see a nice view of the valley and the monkeys hopping about around you. As we were right at the bottom of the valley we could see people really high above us but they couldnt see us very well, which was only a good thing. We then went back to the park and stayed for a while longer before getting the bus and train to Nagano, the main city of that ...

... The Japanese students asked us questions, and we asked the Japanese students questions. They were all anonymous, which was nice. The questions ranged from what is your favorite foods to do you think we speak english well, to "would you ever date a Japanese person?" It was great to see how curious our new friends had become and it was amazing to realize how much we don't really know about each others cultures. Although the Japanese are ...

... and were able to ask them what they thought. We got some really interesting reactions, especially on the Nathan Book, which is fairly controversial. They didn't fully agree that kids were ridiculously crazy in the classroom, although there were plenty of incidences of it happening. After an amazing dinner, we once again broke out the alcohol ...

... I was wrong--we entered a tunnel on one side of a mountain to cloudy green landscape and existed, at the same altitude of the other side to a completely white world, including snow driving almost horizontal. So I had hoped that being situated behind a mountain range, the low, rainy/snowy clouds would be stopped from Kamikochi. Turns out this is only half true--the West facing mountains didn't stop the storm front, but the Eastern ones did, meaning that the storm came over ...

... wel 3, maar we komen steeds niet op het woord voor 3. We kennen 1,2, 4,5,6,7,8.9 en nog veel meer, maar 3 vergeten we steeds. We wilden ook groenten, is maar weten het woord voor groente niet. Maar ach, koffie een soort van groente toch? Dat komt dan later wel weer. Kevin weet trouwens veel woordjes en onthoud die ook goed. Die held weet gewoon wat KIP is, terwijl ik nog bezig ben met mijn armen te wapperen en kippengeluiden te ...
