Hotel Pearl City Kobe

... refurbished but we managed to find a spot a bit North to get some classic tourist Shanghai photos before going home.<br><br>The next day was a bit more wandering around in the city centre including a brief stop in the `People`s` Garden where no one was allowed to walk on the grass and if you did then a policeman would blow a whistle at you - it was the poor guy`s only job, he was there all day! Next stop was the antique market where there were hundreds of stalls ...

... connecting icons from the 16th century with current day icons of the internet, at least that was the gist of it as a far as I understood. She was an "earthy" type, into Burning Man and such. We talked about Rainbow gatherings and WWOOFing (working on a farm for board and food), and other hippy-type stuff:)<br><br>Toshi was way cool. We got along right off. Having lived in Germany, he spoke English with a German accent which kinda distinguished him. He ...

... I grabbed a monorail train to Sannomiya station and walked around for a bit. Was amazing. Crazy city lights, and so much to see (I personally love the vending machines where you can literally buy anything from hot cans of coffee to electronics to toys). We found a bar called the Fuku (means owl) and we were the only ones in ...

... and is the only place in the world that still has some geishas. We actually saw one walking down the street in the Gion area. John said she was probably a younger woman training to be a geisha. She looked like a cross between a clown and a life-sized puppet - very surreal! We spent that night in a traditional Japanese hotel, which is called a ryokan.

... Kobe for dinner to get genuine Kobe beef, but we found that it is not too common in Kobe. We walked around for 2 hours trying to find a place that understood what we wanted and had it but we left frustrated and hungry. We almost succumbed to McDonald's at that point but ended up dining on Chinese food. Now full of grease we are off to bed to start a new adventure tomorrow. Sayounara K &amp; A

... ago when it got stuck in a hole on a section of road under construction. Seems pretty silly huh? All this violence for what...There seems to be something evil in the air this week. On a brighter note last weekend started out really well with a enkai (or party) with the members from our Board of Education office. There are usually a few of these parties throughout the year but this is the first one Lily and I could attend. This was the "welcome-new-employees-and-say ...

Drgac so pa vlaki kul in zgledajo, k da majo obraze in ucke ;). ful mi je zal zarad fotk, sam nikol nimam casa in ne RAZUMEM kako jih resajzat, ker je vse v matr japonscini - u bistvu je tuki tezje karkol narest k kjerkol - velik mladih ne govori anglesk, medtem ko recimo na kitajskem ni panike. In spet srecam arogantnost in zaprtost RAZVITIH DRZAV!!

Week 8 (12.05 - 12.11.02) - I'm officially done with kids training so I can start teaching kids, which is what I really wanted to from the beginning. Unfortunately, my branch only has man-to-man...I'd prefer group kids, but maybe if I really dig it I can transfer to another branch that has more kids. It looks like I'll be having a regularly scheduled Sunday night outing with some co-workers who ...
