i travelled to a place called nikkou.
with my new friend skye.
it took just under three hours by train.
we started drinking before the train ride.
to make the trip fun.
and just cos.
it was disgustingly wet outside.
so we decked ourselves out in disposable raincoats
and gloves
which later turned into 'wet sponges'
we vaguely looked at a map of the area
and headed off into the misty afternoon
to find these tourist attractions that we heard were so great.
we found some stones.
the were maybe an attraction.
behind the stones, there were some stairs.
that lead up into the mountain.
we decided to take them.
it was actually so beautiful
and would have been so amazing had it not been raining.
this is the track we walked up.
not the safest of tracks. but fun.
after this photo.i fell down the concrete stairs.
well slid down.
hurt like a biatch.
but i laughed it off.
(note the above drinking)
about an hour later,
i slipped down a concrete path!
this time, i just sat there in the rain, on the concrete path
laughing.
for i was so embarrassed.
we found an amazing bridge. which i am convinced is a tourist spot!!!
we then decided it would be a great idea to head home.
it was cold and wet on the train.
and it took longer than we thought....
we got back to the hostel.
and decided against going to roppongi for an all night extravaganza.
instead,
we ate. drank more. and went to the hostel bar to use up our drink coupons.
my room mate julian came, with all his friends who had just arrived in the country.
i also met two gals from america
(who showed me their photos of nikkou, oh the spectacular!
shrines
temples
monkeys
waterfalls
gondolas
me and skye fully missed out!!!)
when the hostel bar closed, we all decided to go to the karaoke place.
$60 from midnight til 5am
all you can drink!!
a crazy old japanese\chinese man came with us.
he and i did a duet in japanese.
he fell asleep.
we all continued to sing and drink.
it was time to leave.
he paid for it all
it was over $700.
i CANT believe it!
(i also forgot to take my camera on this adventure, booooo)
the next day. skye returned home.
and i was lonely.
as i had spent every awake moment of the past 2.5 days with him.
and now i didnt know what to do.
also, when i woke up.
i was in so much pain.
i guess because the alcohol had worn off.
and the bruises had developed.
and i was hungover. extremely.
not the best combination.
i went to shibuya to meet nanae. it took over an hour to find her.
because of the craziness.
she helped me get a keitai.
and now i am happpeeeeeeee.
(you can email me straight to my phone!!!
kira-kira.bek@softbank.ne.jp)
we went to a pasta place for dinner.
and i ordered the only one without meat.
it came.
and had bacon in it.
nanae said to them, why why why?? the menu says no.
anyways. it was in the sauce.
and i didnt have to pay for it, thank goodness!
i did eat a bit of the cheese though
we parted ways.
the next day, i met with moe
she is so cute!!!
she hosted cass when we came here in 06.
we had lunch. and then we went to harajuku.
and went shopping.
and had purikura.
fuuuun!!!
yesterday, i spent some time with sachiko.
who i met in new zealand.
she took me on an exploration of the streets.
we went to harajuku. and got purikura.
we then went to shibuya.
and ate at an amazing cafe.
that was hidden away.
and so cute!!!
i spent so much money.
boooooooo.
so today,
i just chilled.
i also did some washing!!!! hoooooray!!!

although, i hope they dryyyy.
i just went to the convenient store.
and they had AVOCADOS!!!!
