Matsumoto Tokyu Inn

... n de itinerarios. <br><br><li>Y los baños... los aseos... están milagrosamente ¡¡¡limpios!!! Y te permiten experiencias casi virtuales como esa en la que al entrar en el habitáculo reservado a las deposiciones, me sobresalté en gran medida al creer que una tubería estallaba y dejaba caer una cascada de proporciones dantescas sobre mí... pero al alejarme para no morir ahogado cesó de inmediato ...

Settling in in Matsumoto. Spent about 4 1/2 hours on trains today, slow one from Nikko to Utsunomiya, a shinkansen to Omiya, another shinkansen to Nagano, then another slow train to Matsumoto. Signs of civilization at the Matsumoto station - a Starbucks!<br><br>Hoping that I can find the castle tomorrow. The ryokan has bicycles to lend, so I'm going to try and ...

... angekommen, ein ziemlich v**lassenes Schloss - mit Horrorfilmpotential das ganze!!! Wied** niemand da - hauptsache ein klo gabs - klasse jetzt brauchte ich es auch nicht mehr (wobei da wär ich eh nicht reingegangen - nach d** letzten Bahnhofstoilette in d** Einöde - TIPP dafür - NIEMALS DEN BLICK NACH OBEN RICHTEN!!! - the spid**man is having me for dinn** tonight) Die Aussicht war natürlich echt nicht von schlechten Elt**n - blöd**weise ist d** akku ...

... br>lol...but i have also a lot of experiences in the other way...here examples...<br><br>hitchhiking...quite easy, even as japanese never do it...funny thing is they invite you to food or give you money...almost always... i refuse always three times, and then i take what they want to get rid of...funny behavior, theoretically it schould be possible to earn money that way.<br><br>Otherwise japan is nice, very clean, not as ultramodern as you might think, also it seems that ...

From Obuse, we travelled further along the train line, into the mountains and to a place called Yudanaka. In the winter you can go skiing around here but obviously there was no snow whilst we were here, just a bit of rain. The reason we came here was to visit the snow monkeys. These monkeys are macaques which come down the valley and are partial to bathing in the natural onsen (hot springs). We got a bus ...

Alright, so I ended up getting roughly an hour of sleep, but I think it was less since I kept waking up. I let one of the Japanese kids sleep in my room since he was locked out and ended up on the couch and then trying to sleep in one of the classrooms. After Nanami and I stayed up talking all night, I really didn't want to sleep that much. It was a lot to digest, but it was a lot of fun. Breakfast came and went and then we had a final Q&amp;A ...

... about each others culture. There were so many questions, confusion, and I think in the end, a bit of enlightenment. I still don't understand the culture completely and feel as if I never will. I don't think an outsider is privileged to such information. Regardless, I think our talk formed a strong bond and I hope we have more like it in the future.

... the storm would lighten up, if only for a moment so I could see some of the mountains I knew were around us. But it was not to be. This cannot be sugarcoated--it was completely miserable, probably the worst hike I have ever done. No good sights, huge gusts of wind roaring down the river valley, ice on you eyeballs and despite my best efforts of avoiding the slush puddles and pond-like potholes, walking in ice cold socks was not pleasant in the least. Plus when I ...
