    Japan 

    A fairly delayed blog post re Japan.

    Had a great time seeing Jul and Mayumi, and seeing the temples, shrines, parks, towers, etc. Plenty to see in Tokyo and plenty of tasty food.

    day 1: a vist to a noodle restuarant followed by a trip to see the blossom. then home to bed as we’d been up for 30 hrs or so.

    day 2: the temple and market at Asakusa. it’d rained all day and unfortunately the temple was covered for to repairs

    day 3: tokyo tower and nearby temple. lovely day and there seemed to be an event of sorts going on. met up with jul in the afternoon in a park near the fish market. tried traditional green tea – no so tasty. walked back via Ginza.

    day 4: early start to get the the fish market for the best action. arrived to find it deserted. apparently drunken tourists had trashed the place and it was closed for a month. went to the folk museum instead. then to yoyogi park to the main buddhist temple and then to Hirajuku for people watching.

    day 5: yokohama. pleasant walk along the harbour. got burnt.

    day 6: a bento lunch with jul in the national gardens and a spot of reading

    day 7: beer museum and park near the imperial palace. trip to bic camera – impressive

    day 8: made gyoza under the instruction of Mayumi. Epic taste. Visit to Ghibli museum which was good fun.

    day 9: a bit ill. stayed in.

    day 10: Kamakura. very nice small village by the sea. loads of surfers.

    day 11: bit more ill. visit to docs, followed by stroll round the east imperial palace gardens.

    day 12: back to kamakura to see bamboo grove and giant buddha

    day 13: hmm, not sure

    day 14: chillout day, walked around gotanda area

    day 14 + 1: flight cancelled. ate roast chicken in yet another park. taste! afternoon reading on jul’s roof

    day 14 + 2: still no flights. visited the national building. good views and guided tour.

    day 14 + 3: still no flights. small aquarium near gotanda. good dophin show, but tanks seemed a bit small:-(

    day 15 + 4: early phone call from Virgin. panic! rush to airport and flight miraculously took off!

    I’ve also uploaded more photos to picasaweb.google.com/decoyotis/Japan

    The Queen 

    When Han and I were wandering round Brighton the other day, we came across this in a sweetshop window. It’s made out of jelly beans…

    Snowman 

    Spotted this snowman on the walk back from station. It’s so big my head only came up to the top button.

    The epic snow here seems to have sent the locals into a frenzy of hoarding. We popped over to budgens for a bit of bread to find the shelves pillaged of all nourishment! There were tales of customers buying 16 bottles of milk – surely one can’t drink that much milk before it goes off!?

    Anyway, given the amount of turkey in the freezer, we should be fine for food for a while…

    So both Han and I have lost our voice now:-( the house is now silent apart from the sound of arms whistling through the air, performing universal symbols of tea, food, etc…
