... like? I have no friggin' idea. I've been trying to research it on the internet but have come up with very little as to what kind of life we'll be living there. Which is one of the reasons I've decided to revive the travel blog and maybe somewhere down the line, someone else is moving to Salalah and will actually have some idea of what it's like before they get there. Here's hoping it's good!<br><br>-M<br>

... with Hello Kitty ROBO. Pretty cute. But for the $1000 price tag I could buy a lot of 'cute' in the red light district!<br><br>Next, the AIBO collection caught my eye. Several generations of the lovable little robot dog by SONY were obediently seated on a matrix of shelves. If you've seen an AIBO it's probably been one of the futuristic looking shiny silver, black, or white ones. I was surprised to see a more "natural" looking beige pup from 2003, the AIBO ERS-311, but I ...

... it's suffered from decline from its glory days as a cruise ship port, and there has been a major investment in public improvements. It probably needs a few factory outlet stores to fill up some of the remaining vacant old buildings. But even as-is, this is a community that deserves a visit! <br><br>I did not have time to visit Cha Cha Town, a shopping center in Kokura, another community that's part of Kitakyushu ...

... It's not my style, but I'm glad I got to see it. <br><br>The train trip between Saga and Karatsu was about a hour. There were a lot of students, in school uniforms, on the train, as well as an unusually high number of very elderly passengers. My guess is that this is a sign that this is a declining rural area--with an aging population and not enough school children to justify a school in every town. <br><br>A number of passengers were ...

... the other stuff was!! But glad we did as it was the best noodle soup we have had all trip. Then we decided to be brave and order some other little bits - Rob ordered some chicken skewers, which although this is what it was, we had no idea what part of the chicken it was from as it was hard and crunchy!!!! Lesley then pointed at a few things that could not be identified but thought it might be ...

... de 20 minutes. La cérémonie de base prend environ 20 minutes seulement, mais il existe plusieurs sortes de cérémonies et certaines peuvent durer 1h30. Ayoye les pioupioux! Le troisième vendredi nous sommes allés manger du Shabu-Shabu! 2100&#65509;1h30 de ...tabehoudai et nomihoudai vous l'avez deviné!! Shabu-Shabu est un peu comme une fondue. Le porc ou le boeuf coupé en fines tranches et les légumes sont cuits dans de l'eau ou une sorte de l'ait de soja (que je préférais). Les l ...

... like not long ago that I had first heard that Peter had broken through to the ACT Brumbies Super 14 side but having been on holiday since January 10 and also due to the fact that Super 14 gets very little mention in British media circles meant that my knowledge of his progress was fairly limited. Anyway, luck had it that Kirilee and I were due to be in Hiroshima on Saturday the 7th so there was absolutely no question of us taking the day out to ...

... There were a couple of shrines near the Gion metro station so I had a browse around them in the afternoon, then went and had a bite to eat down by the river, with the falling sakura creating a nice scene. I couldn`t help but smile when reading a leaflet about tourist attractions in Fukuoka...they claim to have the largest ferris wheel in Japan, something that I`ve heard in about half a dozen cities now! To be fair though, this one ...

... me out. I didn't like the prospect of how much work and time it would take to learn the language. But I also thought that loneliness was what occupied me most, that even my friendship with Josh didn't do much to sooth me. I wondered if maybe I had too much baggage in that regard, if my loneliness was amplified by past scars to the point where it was nearly unbearable. As I was thinking these thoughts (among many others) I moved away from the bench that I had been sitting on and over to ...

... course, our sushi meels. What a delight. It was so tender. Her mother had recommended well. Sushi, being raw strips of fish, are usually served with wasabe (horse radish), soya sauce and ginger slices. The sushi is eaten with sticks, while the miso soup that was served along with it, is drunk directly from the bowl without use of spoon. It is quite accepted in Japan to slurp up the soup loudly, though I did not hear anyone do it yet ...
