... all you can (or all you care to) for 2 hours for 20 bucks. The tables had big grils in them so they brought you raw marinated meat and you got to cook it on the grill-so fun! So the big group of us stayed there until 11 and then went to a super swanky club called Feria. It was right by our hotel and we had never even noticed it. All the good restaurants, bars, clubs, ect here are hidden in back alleys and upstairs ...

... now). We did catch one of the Disney shows - The Legend of Mythica, which was staged in the "Mediterranean Harbor" between Mount Prometheus and the Italian Piazza just inside the entrance. It was awesome; there were 10 huge (evolving)water floats (complete with dancing water, fire breathing dragons, daytime fireworks, twirling aerial acrobats and of course the Disney characters) and about 13 zipping seadoos in disguise as dragons and sea serpents. I think my favourite ...

... we climbed the mountain. After a brief bathroom stop, a change of clothes and a triple check that this was really what we wanted to do with our friday night, we set off to climb Fujisan around 10:30. I can honestly say that Fuji was the most difficult, unforgiving, formiddable foe of a mountain I have ever encountered. We climbed for 8 hours to reach the top. The only consolation was the small huts that line the trail and supply water, cocoa, coffe, and even hot noodles. We ...

... amazing Tokyo's oldest temple is under lights. It got windy though and the chill was pretty nasty on the face. It's close to the river here so you get the chill off the water. So I didn't stay out long once it got really cold. I tried some local treats, freshly cooked rice crackers, doll shaped pancakes with the unpleasant surprise of red bean curd paste inside, and some other deep fried cakey things again with ...

It's summertime. Great to be outside after dark, stroll the streets ... and see fireworks along the banks of Tama River. So I present you with some snapshots (attempt No. 1, I'll be a pro at it after 55 more tries, haha) from the fireworks event of a few weeks ago. All over Japan there are fireworks shows at night in small towns and big cities. Perhaps the biggest and best is held at Sumida ...

... originated in the 17th century. It was developed by merchants during Edo Era as a way to express their emotions. Although many women played female roles in early times, the Tokugawa Shogun banned the appearance of women in Kabuki plays in the early 17th century. As a result, all female roles are played by male actors called Onna-gata and the beauty of the Onna-gata became one of the most distinctive features in Kabuki performances. Part of the ...

... getting around, most of the cyclists in Kyoto actually cycle on the pavement and not on the roads. I was on the bicycle for almost an hour exploring Kyoto, and not to mention i was soaking wet. After arriving back at Budget-Inn i was shown the dorm room where i would be staying in. The room was pretty clean and i think there were 3 other people staying in the room . After getting settled down, arranging all my stuff, i decided to take ...

... flight left in about 2 hours. Fortunately we just needed to register online for an ETA which is done straight away so they checked us in and we got the ETAS and all was sorted - luckily. Flight was direct to Perth with Qantas - most exciting thing was entertainment system where there were about 50 films and tv programmes on demand to stop and start as you wish! We went for some high-brow English entertainment with 'Wallace and Gromitt = the curse of the were-rabbit'.
