Japanese toilet humour
... the next day took the bullet train to Kyoto which is one of the the ancient capitals of Japan, and home of the Geisha's and Samurai's (it's not unusual to see Geisha and Maiko walking around the streets), as well as hundreds upon thousands of temples and shrines and palaces and castles all sprawled around a big modern city. Trust me, you could spend 3 or 4 days just walking around Kyoto itself there are that many to ...

This is a top pick!
... br> So, cup of coffee, DVD's and computer, I'm quite content as I'm sure you can imagine, as it takes very little to keep me occupied. I just watched a good film, and now, having chosen some dvds that I haven't seen I've put on a film called "The Marine" it's appears to be about an american marine.
