Upon high school graduation ...

... the hotel we had booked in Tokyo, Disneyland was a 45 minute train ride, which had between 4 and 6 changes of train, depending on which route you chose to take. So the 45 minutes would easily blow out to over an hour by the time you finished running between train platforms in the Tokyo peak hour crush.

Love you, family. -Chris

... Vrouwen met pruiken die gekleed gaan als Paris Hilton). Een heel ander Tokyo.   Verder hebben we gegeten in een Noodle restaurantje. (eigenlijk meer een bar, een open keuken waar het eten wordt klaargemaakt, die wordt gescheiden door een bar waaraan je op kleine krukjes zit te eten). Mijn eten rook naar de straten van Tokyo. (visbouillon). Voor mij niet echt aantrekkelijk, dus ik heb geruild met Kevin (die de straten blijkbaar wel aantrekkelijk vindt ...

It featured a bar graph representing the number of pupils over the thirty years of our primary school. It started off at somewhere around 500 pupils in 1977. Then the number peaked to 800 in 1980. From then the number steadily declined. In 2007 the number stood at ...

... because babyboomers were retiring. He even cited the name of my supervisor, who had written a report on this demographic shift. On hearing his name, I jumped and thought, "How does he know so much? Maybe he works at the university?" "Oh, funny you mention his name, he is my supervisor", I said. Then we chatted a bit more in the rain. When we were to part, he offered to shake his hand, "I am Alan Robson, Vice Chancellor of this university", he said. "Oh, how nice to see you ...

... and other more private parts on busy trains. If all these things are considered civilised, the Japanese are heads and shoulders above everyone else. Anyways, needless to say he picked on the wrong folk. Drunken Scots and Irish are not the people you want to be picking fights with. So, I tried asking him why he chose us and not the Japanese to ask to shut up, however although my Japanese isn't fluent it isn't bad. He literally ...

... the Beggar Woman in SWEENEY TODD). But she never stops looking for her son... To make a long story short (If only the kids at Kabuki knew how!) they reunite and start anew! Pretty basic stuff EXCEPT... all the roles are played by MEN!! At first I thought that was kinda interesting, and the men were all very talented and fascinating to watch. Especially the man who played the Mother in Scene 2 (Who is also a certified "Living Japanese National Treasure"... Is that ...
