... the floor is made of concrete, wet with water (and a little fish blood). The activity level inside the hall was staggering.  All in, there appeared to be at least 5,000 people working.  Everyone except the tourists was wearing knee-level rubber boots. About half of the people were working in large stalls, cutting up fish with ...

Hi all, We're on our way back to the US today - in some ways, we can't believe how fast the past two weeks have gone. We had a wonderful time in Beijing, but will definitely appreciate some of the small things when we return (like ice in drinks and American toliets). Saturday we stayed out of the water cube and instead saw some track and field (womens prelims of the 100m and 400m, the long jump, and the pole vault). We had great seats on the shady side of the ...

... are very very keen to keep you moving and everything running efficiently. The customs guy was wearing the proverbial white face mask...I have seen lots since then. It seems if you have a cold or allergies you wear one in public...it:s a no no not to. Then I got my luggage without a hitch and as I was walking out I hear Emi yelling Sharrrron! Sharrrron! and jumping up and down. I gave her a big hug and then we took the train to the main terminal where I got a rental cellphone. We ...

... tourists aren't strangers in this part of town, I got to say: "iie" (no in Japanese) more than once. Electric Street is a long main street lined with the largest electronics shops. Here you can by everything you could ever imagine in electronics, and a few things I'm sure you couldn't, I a least saw several things I just couldn't work out what was for. Impressive street though, all flashing lights and shining displays. When I got back to the hostel ...

... filmed and interviewd by Channel 8 TV News, who were doing a piece on foreign tourism in Osaka. It's a shame we were leaving as I imagine our TV appearance will have caused quite a stir in Japan. We will be bigger than Shinjo (the Nippon Ham Fighters Beckham figure) if we go back, probably. All in all Japan was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time pointing at menus, but really we could have got everything we needed to survive from the thousands of vending machines around the place ...

... I thought the one we found the other day that was 1 floor was amazing, but i was in heaven! I think russ got a bit bored though...... I'll put some photos of the garden on here as I can't really explain it, you have to see it for yourself. It's 6.15pm so we'll probably be out to get our last dinner in Tokyo before leaving for China early tomorrow morning.

... shopping complexes in addition to the cultural favorites. The Ginza shopping district reigns supreme for ostentatious spending habits, with thousands of mega-stores, boutiques and an excessive array of non-functional novelty stores for the easily amused within us all. For a dose of New York in Tokyo, visit Shibuya, which is rife with higher-end shops, shrines, King-Kong-sized plasma TV screens and the busiest ...

... will be asked to leave the club if you do not have a drink in your hand`/ Theres some RSA issues to think about, huh!!!!I will send some pictures soon once i figure out this keyboard first. omg like seriously, ive spent an keyboard first. omg like seriousl, (see what im talking about)ive spent an hour trying to make this email readable cause every key i hit just does somehting else . its only been 40 mins since Ive learnt how to get rid of random japanese character pop ups...

... and other chains. In fact, many of the strip malls on the outer reaches of Tokyo were packed with Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds. Approaching Tokyo proper, the sprawl gave way to giant skyscrapers, flashing neon signs, and gigantic television screens advertising everything from food to cars to the new Jennifer Lopez album. By God, we were in Tokyo! I feel sorry for anyone who finds themselves in Tokyo Station without ever having dealt with a major mass ...
