What is it like in Japan, right now?
Before launching into the business of filling in the gaps from the last five weeks, a quick look at the landscape nowadays:
The rice is ready to come in.
Bring on the old blokes! This one has a stripey umbrella on his combine harvester.
I wonder if he brought it with him on his bike?
All in all it is much like an advert for that buddy American beer Shitweizer but on a Japanese Beverly-Hill-Billy scale. Quite funny to see the rice all over the road as I came past.
It's all over bar the fat lady....
I'm sorry to say that I am finally back inside the websphere after a month or so of globe, bog and pig-trotting.
More to follow in detail, but for now suffice to say that my fathers house is outside the range of Broadband, busses, cheap taxi-rides, pizzas, civilisation and luckily Japanese food. The place has dial-up internet, and worse still is only on a rate where you can use the net in the morning, i.e before I am up.
General impressions of the UK after a further two years of absense. All the rumours about British weather are true. Trust me it was like Narnia for a month.
British food is demonstrably not bad. Eye-witness accounts from three out of three people interviewed.
My family could be transfered into Coronation Street without any need to jazz-up the plot with wierd happenings. We have it all.
Photos of food and Tshirts to come!
