My little life: August 2006

Slow Summer Sunday

Such fun was had with Lolly and Sean on Sunday. Lolly and I arose late Sunday afternoon after spending much of the night discussing and analysing everything possible. I believe we restrained ourselves from further discussuion at about 5am. The morning began with breakfast pancakes at four. The day continued lying on my lovely tatami. The last weekend I will ever do so. The evening called for a stroll along the lovely seashore, dinner was of an indian curry variety from the lovely Everest. The night ended with a photo shoot near midnight. Ah how I will miss my dear friends. There is nothing like spending a day in Japan lying on ones floor. I wish I could take you all with me to Indonesia.

(The fan effect picture didn't quite turnout as expected - funny though!!!)

Home sweet home

Home was lovely, short but sweet. Great seeing family and friends after a long but short year. Had loads of good food, parties, drunkin' engagements, wanderings in thecountryside. All very lovely indeed.

Yeay I was on a Submarine

So as I previously posted I was not supposed to be allowed on the submarine, as I was a foreigner. However as I stood at the pier while my students boarded the boat to be taken away to a secret location the marines had a sudden change of heart. I must not have looked so scary. So they made a few phone calls and I was suddenly been whisked away on a boat to the submarine. We weren't allowed to take any cameras or phones into the submarine. I do have the pictures of when we were standing on top though. I was so cool inside. I got to look out the special little spy telescope. They had 4 huge ass missiles on board, Japan are prepared if North Korea come calling!
