Yokohama International Seaman's Hall

... of Hawaii for a year so she is very familiar with Honolulu since it is located on the island. We ended up at a bar with lots of S@Sers and to my surprise I ran into Trish, Brittany, and Andrea! I was so excited to see them since I couldn't find them earlier in the day. Later on in the early morning we headed to a dance club that was open till 4am to dance. We danced the early morning away before walking back to our hotel. It was a great first day and night in Hawaii!

... because the zoo was set in a very lush green area, but I wasnt adding another hour or two onto the day just to look at trees. Our original plan was to go straight to the Landmark Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokohama_ Landmark_Tower) in the Yokohama Bay area after we were finished at zoorasia, but seeing as the main camera had no battery, and our "spare" camera was also showing a low battery ...

Yup, I'm sick. Why am I always the first one to get sick? Don't say it..... It's not because I'm vegan. It's because I'm not always vegan and therein lies the problem. I think If I were consistent with the diet I'd have far fewer problems. However, as it stands, I am vegan then I have a bit of fish and then a few days later a doughnut and then a cream puff or some junk. Well regardless of why I'm sick, I am sick. I'm building up those anti-bodies to pass onto all of you when I ...

... find that you get a little pasta dish with your KFC in Japan. It was very nice too. We went back and changed into our pj's and crashed out in front of a lord of the rings dvd which we didn't get to the end of because we were so tired! Day 2 We woke up to grey skies which meant it was even colder than yesterday's sunny coldness - hooray! We wrapped up in loads of layers and ventured out and had a starbucks breakfast (yep we really embraced japanese food as u can tell lol ...

... Yoshihara, made us write a composition "what I will be like in twenty years"?" Yuusuke asked. "Not a clue", I said. "I am afraid I don't have good memory of my days at primary school, or my entire schooling. I don't feel like coming. Besides, I have put on so much weight, lost hair and teeth, and that". "My experience of schooling wasn't all that positive, either". I sort of joined in his support. The tale of ...

... most of the day, due to fact that got home a 5am full of ****. But on Monday went out sightseeing. The subway system here is amazing and at first is a bit daunting, but we soon got the hang of it. Trains come approx every 5 mins. Went to the imperial palace, found out that is closed on Mondays. But no problem, next went to the Ueno Zoo to see a panda. But on Mondays, that is closed. So did not really see to much in Tokyo ...

... with senses of judgement would know when to retract their legs and un-cross their legs should situations demand. Are Japanese adults no adults? Do they need a synthesised female voice to behave themselves? Suddenly the oft-told tale of Japan being a land of group thinking is looking like thin-veneer. I am beginning to think that it is a deeply individual society, which I think is a function and manifestation of the capitalist society, to an extent that requires ...

... fat man...!"). There were very few westerners on the plane, and sure enough I was sat next to a Japanese mother and daughter who probed me for details of my route, and tested my pronunciation of various Japanese cities! I then got talking to Jess, a girl from Leeds, after the plane landed and we followed the crowd and went through immigration together - I got through without any problem, but Jess got a thorough going over (understandable really considering her bag ...

... as Kobe but it had a different feel with many tiny walkways and little inns everywhere. All the time you passed gardens and tea houses it was quaint. After lunch we went to the largest wooden building in the world which was located in a park called Deer Park - and it is obviously named that for a very good reason. Here is this huge city and right in the middle is this park with deer in it, yes deer - the four legged animals.....they were everywhere. They were friendly as ...

Hello subway fans!! While Thom spends hours talking in great detail about yesterday, I decided it would be a good idea to start on today because otherwise we`re going to miss our flight home in July!! Naturally waking up at 530am is never a good thing, whether in Costa Rica to count monkeys & birds, or in Tokyo to count how many icicles had formed between our toes. We left the window open a bit to let a bit of air into our 7ft by 5ft bedroom & were ...
