Hotel Sky Tower Miyazaki

... du so eine Karte mit deiner Nr. drauf (unsere war 88). Also gut wir ziehen uns in den Umkleiden um (wobei die nicht wie bei uns sind... schon geschlechter getrennt aber halt alles offen). Jaja wieder Gespraeche belauscht, ist irgendwie ganz lustig wenn man doch was versteht, zumindest ein bisserl. Dennoch waren wir die einzigen westler dort, dementsprechend wurde auch geschaut, sowas haben wir in den groesseren Staedten noch nie erlebt. Na wir ...

... anything to go by. DJ events, Live bands, Ladies Nights, Quiz Events and even Fish & Chips on the menu, its just like stepping back into a bar at home for a few hours, except that there are a great diverse crew of people there from all over the world who can give you the rundown on almost anything and everything thats happening around town. I was only in there for two nights but i really felt like a local with ...

... to turn it off. We just couldn't figure that one out so I went to the rental guy with my electronic translator in hand. I can only translate one word at a time so when I came in and announced emergency he got all excited. Good thing I type fast. When he figured out what I meant we all had a good laugh! Spent a couple of days touring around Kirishima Japan and enjoying a wonderful onsen. Hot spas every day and good food in ...

... each of you who are rich enough to be reading these computer blogs. The only reason I have this laptop which I'm typing on is because I was born into a family who is rich enough to feed me, educate me and love me so I could grow up to the person I am. If I didn't have a healthy diet while growing up or didn't have a safe place to sleep every night I couldn't have grown into the healthy person I am today. We need to ...

... Beppo. A good reminder of how friendly people are. After almost a month of enjoying the crisp air and fall colors of the hills of Japan, we arrived in Miyazaki, which reminded me more of San Diego CA, with its palm trees and beach sand, then the New England hills of Japan. We spent a couple of days kicking around Miyazaki enjoying the last of the mochi treats and Hello Kitty shopping. Nov 15 is Shichi-go-san which ...

... crime country, and our bikes were still sitting just as we left them. We stocked up on donuts for the next day or two, and then set about getting our usual bowl of udon soup for lunch. At the train station restaurant we promptly encountered a new obstacle to keeping ourselves fed in this country; instead of stumbling through lousy Japanese with a waiter, we had to go put money into a vending machine, punch buttons for what we wanted, and then tickets were punched out ...

Mushi Mushi (How the Japanese answer the phone), I`m very open to experiencing new things, but I would LOVE a meal without some sort of fish product. My stomach is rebelling from my new Japanese diet and my appetite is almost completely gone. I`m eating about as much as Meghan or Oliver in a given day. Today was my first vocational ...

Unreal is only word I can use to describe the last 2 days. Just a hint: 3 days in Japan = 3 nights of Karaoke! We have been treated like rock stars since the day we arrived. 5-10 Japanese Rotarians are constantly shuffling us around to various sightseeing destinations. In 2 days I have learned how to perform Zen Buddhist Meditation Ceremony complete with punishment, visited ancient burial grounds, toured a Plasma TV factory, walked ...

Ok! I made it to Japan, however at the airport I was quite surprised to see 20 rotarians with a HUGE banner welcoming us to Japan. I was not in any shape to meet anyone, but I didn't have a choice. We were quickly shuffled off to our Hotel where the local Rotarians had dinner waiting on us. We met our host families that we will stay with starting Monday Night. However, only a few people could speak English and my host could not. When Japanese people ...

I completed the long flight to Japan. My plan to sleep during the flight worked well. I slept for nearly 8 hours during the flight. I am on the flight to Miyazaki from Nigoya. I am hungry, tired and I have travel grime. I can't wait to get to the hotel and settle in. It's 5:20 pm in Japan and 4:20 am in the Eastern time zone. I've been traveling since 7:30 am yesterday. By the time I arrive in Miyazaki, I will have been traveling for ...
