... of a pre-typhoon storm were...amazing. I remember having one of those "Oh, I'm in Japan" moments right there.<br><br>When I went back last week, I had the same "Oni!" chant coming from some of the more energetic kids (Oni means devil...it's because I get red when I exercise, or do anything, like show up), and the same little buggers poke me in the bug with their 'spirit gun', and the same little guys grin at me as they prepare to lunch an all-out ...

... some nice lady or manservant to come and tell me that it would be best that I didn't come again, but that they were really grateful for me coming, I took my sweet ass time enjoying every nook and crinny in that place. Unfortunately for me, my tolerance for warm saunas and baths is pretty low, so when I started to lobster-up, I took my leave.<br><br>The funny thing was, no one approached me. I could have SWORN that the man who walked with his kid, washed up ...

... The course wasn't too difficult, with winding roads, long bridges overlooking a green lake (they don't call it Midori-ko Marathon for nothing), and surrounded by mountains on all sides. I almost tripped three of four times, Run Fat Boy Run-style, while trying to take all of it in while jamming to Enigma or screaming out Coldplay through my iPod. I tried to say 'Ganbatte' (Good luck! Try your best!) to everyone that went by ...

... surprise, Jay met me at the front as opposed to John, he got me my Zima and then for about half the time until John got there I was kind of lost on what to do. Satomi got there later and we literally danced the night away. After ID we went to Cream and although Jay and John went home at around 3:30am, Satomi and I stayed at Cream until around 4 am because then these creepy foreigners were trying to pick us up. We went to the bar below Cream ...

... lunch and going out to Yaba-cho. I took my time, I walked from Kanayama and went to Osu before wandering down to Yaba-cho. I stumbled across a Chinese New Year celebration? in the park and I filmed the drummers before my camera ran out of space. Saw the Lion dancers too so that was cool. My plans fell through so I wandered back down to Osu and bought a cheongsam on a whim. It was super cheap! Anyways I got home and had an egg omelette, ham salad ...

... to get home so late. I also went to an onsen with my host mom. So much fun, there were so many different types of hot springs to try! Eventually it got to hot though and we went to Aeon for dinner. It was a buffet! Yay! I had lots of sashimi, salmon, pasta, egg tofu, wontons, ebi fry, tempura, corn soup, curry rice, some other mixture of rice and was so full I was only able to have a mango fruit cocktail for dessert. What a treat ^_^!

... snuck up behind me and so I didn't realize it right away. Jay really scared me when I said no to another shot, turns out he was joking, but that doesn't make it any less scary. Anyways, ID closed at around 5:10 am, we dropped Satomi off at Osu Kannon and then Jay dropped us off at Mcdonald's to grab some type of breakfast. I tried to pay but John wouldn't let me, again. Not sure if that's a good thing? So I had ...

On Monday I tried getting up early to go get my bike from Yahagibashi, my bike had not only been moved but the kickstand had been locked. Luckily the guys were there to help me. I got the contact info I was looking for and did a bit of studying and then hmm, helped Roxy clean up our room and for dinner had curry rice. Yummy! I am fighting a cold though, I think I'm winning? Tuesday I woke up and did laundry and then started cleaning my ...
