# Out & About in JAPAN # ... a scary forest!?!?!

     Now why would three sane guys be making such strange faces?
The answer lies at the North West base of Mt.Fuji in Japan. Next weekend we are on a mission to provide details and create a small documentary about a mystical place that all Japanese people fear.

     The area is called Jukai - the Sea of Trees. It's a fairly new name for the forest which is commonly known as Aokigahara Forest. The forest is 35 square kilometers of quietness, the trees are apparently so dense there that the wind hardly penetrates it's interior. The forest is also host to the world's 2nd most popular place to commit suicide. Stories are told of ghosts haunting, wild packs of dogs and pigs, compasses that go haywire and of people getting lost.

     For the six of us, Craig from Australia, Carlos from Mexico, Tony from South Africa, brothers A.J. and Steve from Canada and Paul from England that will visit the area next week, each of us has a reason to find out some truths as to the aura, the mystery and sadness this place holds for the Japanese people.

                                        Stay tuned for an update when we return from our adventure.

# WONKY English #... bring ya mate SKAL!!

It,s back!! :)) ... my mate SKAL, and he's back with his mate ;)

It seems that my mate SKAL is getting WONKIER & WONKIER ;))

SKAL, what are you putting in your drink when you think of the words to write on the bottles???

Please take the time to read this refreshingly fresh English and maybe spend some time to refresh what you wonder the meaning is while drinking a refreshing fresh juice ;)) ... LOL, luv WONKY!!

OUT & ABOUT in Japan ... a dirty contraption???

WARNING!! SOME FOREIGNERS MAY FIND THIS UNSUITABLE!!

Cleaning as we know it is a daily chore and is really unavoidable ... well, that is if you like things to be clean :))

In Australia a toilet is something you either stand in front of or sit down on, your business is done and then you walk away. The toilet, or dunny, as we call it in Australia is considered a simple contraption and is traditional in design. A toilet in Australia is not something considered to be a cleaning tool.

A toilet is a toilet and that's it!! ... or is it!?!??

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... th@t`s one sPacEd oUt bike

Space, the final frontier!!

The words said at the beginning of the t.v. show Star Trek.

Yet, even in a side street in Shinjuku, Tokyo, the legacy of Captain Kirks words linger on!! Or do they???? ...

# OUT & ABOUT in JAPAN # ... Spring is in the air

Spring is on it's way .... at LAST!!

After months of cold weather, the signs of nature are showing us that the sun will soon shine, the flowers will bloom and the weather will become warmer :))

I certainly like the way dragonflies celebrate Spring :)) Now that's the way -a-huh a-huh i like it!! Get down and boogie :))

Here's a selection of what I've found Out & About in Japan.

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... WARNING!! the DEEPER meaning of bicycle riding

Through life we learn the rights and wrongs, the good and the bad and what to do and what not to do.

But when it comes to flying high in the sky by bike, we must follow the rules ... i guess :))

And when it comes to riding a bike, especially a super bike like this one, we need to follow the basic rules ... OF THIS BIKE!! This is certainly one WONKY bike :)
