After 1 month work...

Hi again. Like i promised i made a photobucket account to put my crap quality photos on so here it is http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/cc177/From_Japan/ I uploaded some photos but there is a photo of what looks to be a kitkat drink - but it wasnt. I saw it in a vending machine and i swear it was the only chocolate and it was in a glass container. I only bought it coz i thought it was a drink but it had 4 kitkats in it - i was kinda dissapointed. There is also a glass jar with these candies in it - i saw them in an anime and wanted to buy some. Oh and halloween pocky! It's really nice there is pumpkin flavor - so if anyone wants me to send some down i will. The cigarettes are candy - i just thought it was weird to see them coz they were banned in Australia ages ago. There are some more things i will put in there when i get the photos, still waiting on my camera too.

Not much to say about the begining of the week but on Thursday i met my friend Saori at chatan town after work, we went shopping and at this hippy store i bought incense for my pig and a t-shirt. Later we went to an Okonomiyaki resturant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okonomiyaki) and i had a negi (leek) and bacon one. It was really cool because there is a hotplate on your table and they make the food in front of you.
On Friday morning when i was getting ready the kids wanted to go outside and i said ok. After a while i was wondering why it was quiet and the kids had opened the gate and got outside! Luckily nothing happened but i was so freaked out! Later on i went out with another friend to an izakaya which is a traditional Japanese pub. We ate some really nice food and i drank some sweet sake.

On Saturday i got up early and went out with some people snorkeling. It was heaps of fun but the waves were a bit rough so we didn't see much. Later we went to a beach called sunset beach which is kinda enclosed so there weren't many waves which was nice. We had a giant enflatable bed thing and you take it to this area and people inflate it for you so that was good. I ate taiyaki today which is a fish shaped desert and we went to Coco's which is a curry place that makes Japanese curry. I ate something called pari pari chicken curry and it was really nice! I also picked up a magazine called Okinawa living which has lots of things to do or things that are on in Okinawa and it's in English so it's really helpfull. In the evening Joe Frank and i went out to gate street where there are lots of clubs etc. First we went to Club Fujiyama which is an American/Japanese rock club and it was interesting. Later we went to the airman's club (which is on base) and had a few drinks.

On Sunday i didn't do alot, just bummed around Joe was hung over from the night before. I went to the shops and bought frozen gyoza dumplings which i had with Japanese mayonaise and smokey BBQ sauce ^_^ I also picked up some sweet potatoe chips which were really interesting.

On Tuesday the satelite guy finally came and fixed it for us - now we have more than one channel in English! Not much else to say really i plan to go to Kyoto in November if i can and hopefully Tokyo in December and then to see the snow a bit further north. I hope everyone is having a good time in Australia!

One more thing, i keep seeing weird sentances in English and some of them are funny so i am going to start putting them on here. So here is the first weird sentance of the week: You can't hold down a joyfull heart.
Jya ne!
