Five days in

It`s night five of the Japan trip and we`re having a ball. Japan is very cool and everything is interesting. My Japanese language skills are an embarassment but I am trying to do my good morning`s thank you`s and good bye`s when I can.

I have seen:

• Shiny Blue/black crows sitting on roof tops and telegraph poles


• Thousands of sculpted Holywood Junipers (hinoki trees)


• Cute little streets with even cuter houses and shops lining their sides


• Heaps of Japanese gardens and temples


• Deer, Bats, Koi Carp and Tutles

I have eaten:

• Sushi


• Sashimi


• Tempura


• Miso Soup


• Octopus balls (no, not their testicles)


• Tepenyaki

I have also:

• Ridden a bike without getting lost


• Taken some train rides


• Slept on a futon in a tatami room


• Taken a public bath


• Done some Origami
