... up just stopping after a point and heading back. Needless to say it was quite an amazing experience to stand on the sharp jagged edge of such a massive peak and look out over Shikoku. From there you could see the inland see in 2 directions and see several towns lying in around the bays. You could see back to the Joju and the tiny point we climbed the first chains to get to. I am glad Jess lent me her camera, because I unfortunately forgot mine. I will let her handle ...

... than blah. From Okayama took the express down to Kochi, on the south face of Shikoku. We passed through some of the best scenery I've seen to date, mostly because Shikoku is not really developed or inhabited especially in the Iya valley region in the middle of the island. I was sleeping on and off and woke up to use traveling along a massive gorge and strung across it was a string of carp banners and windsocks (around Koboke I guess ...

... mentre fuori diluviava. E prima di arrivare li sono stata in un onsen con vasca all'aperto vista fiume, e pioggia. Un tantino stile decadente e malinconico come panorama, ma bellissimo. Ora sono diretta a Muroto misaki, il capo a sud di Shikoku. volo a prendere il treno. Baci a tutti!

Primo traghetto che personalmente a me da una particolare libidine caricarci la moto e navigare per mare ogni tanto. Fiondo nell' isola di Shikoku , l' isola di un pellegrinaggio Zen da 1500 km attraverso 88 templi . Io la taglio a meta' naturalmente per montagne e dormo a Kochi altra citta' di mare e naruralmente si cena a base di sushi freschissimo . Sto viaggiando un po in fretta un mio amico a Shizuoka mi ha invitato ad andare ad Iwata a visitare la fabbrica della Yamaha .Potevo dire di no?

brianne made the mistake of NOT coming home and sitting right down to enter these details.... so now she barely recalls them :( ~but to make a long story short.... my friend shannon copp (a shiga JET) invited myself and two other shiga JETs (Nan, and Anna) to ...

... labour and a number of American prisoner of war soldiers who were not known to be in the area.They burn a flame at the site and it is supposed to be extinguished when the last nuclear device is destroyed. I guess unfortunately it might as well be an eternal flame.From Hiroshima I bulleted my way to Okayama.

... or early for that matter). Also there has never been a Shinkansen accident. That is if you exclude the poor desperate soul who jumped in front of one somewhere the other day and was splattered fair and square on to the wind shield. Anyhoo, I settled back and enjoyed the consistent view of houses zipping past me, whilst sucking down a Marlboro Ultra Light (just because I was allowed to, but admittedly it was gross and weird smoking on a train). Was very relaxed and ...

Saijo is a little town in the Northern part of the island of Shikoku. Hint: Shikoku is the island that we live on. Every year, Saijo has a huge matsuri (festival) to celebrate the fall harvest. Think of it like a Thanksgiving. But with no turkey. And big wooden carts that are dragged thru the city. Also there's no pilgrims, cranberry, or dinner for that matter. But there are large shrines, lots of people, chanting ...

... spoiled me, and I found the trains on Shikoku to be much slower - a good metaphor perhaps to what I needed at this point. The lovely coastal scenery changed to increasingly narrow valleys covered in green. As a familiar lover of the Rocky Mountains, 'tis wonderful to see such steep slopes so coated with trees. Upon arrival in my small town, I telephoned hostel owner Nori to come pick me up. Winding in his minivan upon innumerable one-lane ...

... and offer me a drink and share a smoke. When I finally felt tired I found my little bee hive, I climbed up into it and entered. How cozy, maybe a little too cozy. And there it was, the little screen of pleasure! How sad it was showing the most boring porn ever made. I tried to sleep but it was so hot in my little hive of boredom so I ...
