... a few Avril Lavigne classics and did pretty damn well! It turned into quite a big night and we slowly formed a big group of boat friends including Jon, Richard, an American called Mike, an english guy called Alekz and an english couple, Russel and Nicky.<br><br>The next day was pretty hideous for me - my hangover slowly turned into seasickness and it just got worse the later it got. boooooo. What did lift my spirits though was later that night when we finally reached ...

... how to get to the most picturesque areas. Now when I see him I make sure to say hello to him (on the rare occasions that he comes to school.) I'm still waiting for him to bring in his finished masterpiece that he was working on that day at the lake. Boy on the bus: After a discouraging day out to the middle of nowhere to find fault lines that no one seemed to know even existed, I was heat stricken, and still feeling the effects of the virus that I picked up in India. I ...

... cool Shinto temple. So, we looked around, then took the subway from there to the Motomatchi subway station, which was where we had to get off in order to go to Chinatown. The motomachi station was really swanky! There were stained glass windows and sculptures, and a shopping arcade that we walked down that was apparently adjacent to Chinatown, so we ducked into a back alley and arrived at the Chinatown pavillion and an open courtyard that was lined by animals ...

... was on the beach in swim suits catching a quick nap. The girls laughed that they had spotted two bodies on the beach when they approached the beach and took beats on if it was Matt and me. Once we had the energy to get up, we headed out on the street to see the Suma area of Kobe. Suma didn't have much to offer except for restaurants and a few souvenir stores there and there. We ended up eating some Sukiyaki and then the guys minus ...

Ok we where heading to Mt Fuji from Hemiji but we were passing through Kobe. I asked Dec if he fancied the nicest steak he will ever have, didn't take much convincing, so we took a detour. We thought there might be a issue with accommodation as we had nothing booked but the information center in the train station where unbelievably nice and booked us into a reasonably nice hotel in the center of Kobe. The hotel then booked us into ...

... led to believe by this book. Geishas seem to be a dying breed - their numbers plummeted after World War II and have dipped more and more every year. Nevertheless, there are still a handful of these women who, by night, entertain at parties in tea houses, and who, by day, lunch, shop, or wander the streets of Gion, oftentimes fully attired in elaborate kimono and ghost-white makeup. To be honest, we simply can't understand the need or use for these high-priced hostesses in this day in ...

... first day of on-the-job training starting tomorrow. ++Late add: Craig brings home this guy named Darren from Australia that he works with, cool guy, a little naïve, but a cool, funny guy. Ironic/funny that the first thing I noticed was his tie, because it was short-tied and ended away above his waist. After hanging out for a while, it comes out the Darin has never had a corporate job before and has no clue as how to tie a tie. So Craig and I try to ...
