OUT & ABOUT in JAPAN ... ''Yay'' or ''Nay''

   
     Darren is on his way over from Australia and a BBQ in his name is planned well in advance.

     There is drama brewing though as the weather at the moment here in Japan is in the rainy season!!


                   In the mean time,  a week before Dazza's BBQ the Street Beer crew are having a session in Shibuya after work on the Friday night.  Suddenly 2 faces appear next to our group and one of the guys is happy to hear us all speaking English and starts to ask us a few questions.  We find out that these guys are from Norway and have just arrived that day in Tokyo.  They are here for 10 days of exploring and partying. 

WONKY ENGLISH ... official embassy communication

      If you have been wondering where the South Korean embassy has moved to recently then you are probably as confused as I am.  With WONKY directions like this it's no wonder no one can get their visas processed!!  I"ve been wondering if it's a secret code so that the North Koreans can't find where it has moved to!!  ;))

                ... WADDA-ya-know ... it's very WONKY   ;))

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... it's a bit crunchy!!

     Now could this be a joke?  Is this a CG created image I have here for you??  Or could it be the real thing???  

     I understand that we,  as inquisitive as we are as human beings are willing to try most things that are put in front of us to eat,  but come on!!  A strawberry and SAND sandwich!!  

                             ... most definitely Wonky ... and CRUNCHY!!

OUT & ABOUT in JAPAN .....Earthquake 9.0 part 2

     Everyone,  all the teachers and staff,  had been called for a meeting.  We were told we couldn't leave the hall until 5:30pm,  which was the time the graduation ceremony was due to finish anyway.  Guess head office wanted to get their full payment of salaries worth. 

     There wasn't much we could do at all.  All the teachers had chipped in to help clean up the decorations,  the only thing left to do was watch the news reports coming in on the T.V. sets that were scattered around the hall while at the same time avoiding the supervisors.

     At this stage panic had hit Japan.  A 9.0 magnitude earthquake had struck!!

Our mission,  to get to Justins pad ... nearly 20 kilometers away!!  Left to right is J.Jey,  Justin,  Steve and bro A.J.

OUT & ABOUT in JAPAN ...... Earthquake 9.0

     One of the first things that entered my mind was the song done by the Clash!!  It's called ... ''Should I stay or should I go?''


          It was graduation day.  The company I work for holds a ceremony for all the children that will be moving up to kindergarten for their next school year.  They are between the ages of 3 and 4. 

     What happens to them today will be taught in their history classes when they are older,  some of them may remember today.

Lots of happy faces just a short time before the big shake!!
