# OUT and ABOUT # ... at Port Douglas in AUSTRALIA

AT LAST!! A trip back home ... to the land of plenty!! A Vegemite sandwich was calling me ;)

     In French, Mont means mountain.

     For example; ''When I went skiing at Courmayer in Italy, I could see Mont Blanc ( the white mountain ) everyday''. And for the sake of trivia it's Monte Bianco in Italian. The Mountain borders France and Italy.

     The other day I went window shopping in Ebisu for a new rucksack and came across this sign which said Mont-Bell is ''close''!!

     I took a step back to look around for the mountain but couldn't see it!! Maybe it was ''close'' but it was dwarfed by all the tall buildings.

     I couldn't do my window shopping at this particular shop because it was ''closed''.

               Talk about WONKY!!     I was ''close'' to confusion!!

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... that's one messed up bear !!

GLOOMY The naughty grizzly
He is well trained ...
except he has a hard time remembering not to attack humans.

''Oh! It's so sweet!'' ''What an adorable bear!''

''He's got the cutest little nose!'' ''I just wanna hug him forever!!''

Now these are the words you would normally hear when talking about or even listening to other people talking about a bear.

BUT!!! Not this bear!! This is certainly one WONKY bear!! Believe it or not this bear is for kids. Or the odd adult who wants a different kind of bear!! Some of the Street Beer crew and I went 10 pin bowling the other week in an amusement center here in Tokyo and as I was walking through I saw this ghastly bear!!

I felt so sorry for him!! He probably used to be a normal cuddly bear just like all his cousins ... but, someone must have treated him badly!! I want to rescue all those GLOOMY bears and set them free!!

Now is this one WONKY bear or what!!??

# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... the big stick

Out and About in Japan on an extremely hot day like today was going to take some effort!! I consumed just over 5 litres of fluid on this ride!! It's the summer season now and the weather is as sticky as a piece of chewing gum stuck to a hot pavement!! :))

# WILD STORIES of ADVENTURE # ... Sumatra, care for a drive in the country darling!?!

The decision was made. South East Asia it was. Something different from Europe.

Fiona and I flew in to Singapore from the city of Adelaide in Australia. Singapore is always value for money for a ''couple of days only'' kind of place. Opinion is, it's like being on a robotic island

# OUT & ABOUT in Japan# ... the Street Beer crew

Summer is upon us, so it was time to get the Street Beer crew out for a session, the first one on the streets for this year!! And about time too!! The winters are long here in Japan so when the weather warms up it's time to celebrate ... Street Style!!
