# WILD STORIES of ADVENTURE # ... Java, Indonesia



     We are on another bus,  but this driver is not like the crazy driver we had when we were in Sumatra!!  There is no need to feel that our lives will end soon. 

     Our destination is Jakata,  the capital of Indonesia.  Sumatra is wonderful and tropical, a world of difference as we enter the outskirts of Jakata.  We are famished!!  Starving, as we enter the bus terminal, our transition on our way to somewhere,

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... Dr. Spock's cousin, or just SPORTY??



     The size of the bike caught my eye as I wandered through the shops having a browse.  The tiny wheels ... they are so small!!  Then I saw it!!  The name!!  Out came my camera, I had to get this one!!

# COOL JAPAN # ... SHIBUYA


The topic is Shibuya.  The location is Shibuya ... all day!!  It's COOL JAPAN!!


Shibuya is certainly a place that has it all.  Locals shop here, out of townee's are eager to flock here, foreigners gather to take pictures here, the fashionistas flaunt here, the trendies, the young and the old ... to be in Shibuya!!

# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... respect your environment :)


So true!!  There are just too many selfish people in this world that need to grow up and start respecting the environment around them.  It's not just you out there, there are roughly 6 billion others that live here too.  And not forgetting the future too, all the other people that will inhabit our beautiful world after us!! 

PLEASE TAKE THAT EXTRA BIT OF CARE ... it's just a little that helps

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... well close to it :))


     Clothes dryers are a great product, there is no doubt about it.  They are in basically every household and they are extremely handy when clothes need to be dried in a rush or you want to make a piece of clothing warm before you go outside on a freezing day like it is here in Japan right now!!  Clothes driers are usually round that is true.  Quite honestly I for one have never seen any other shape.  It's quite the norm. 

     But does a clothes dryer need to have WONKY English on it??  I want one of these descriptions for my computer ... a simple rectangulurish computer, on my table!!

# Out and About in Japan # ... camping with mates



     My great mate Darren from Australia was in Japan for a holiday and Alex was up in the hills around the Okutama area doing some hiking.  So the idea of us meeting up for a camping session seemed like a good idea.
