hi everybody, well the hols so far has been hit by a run of bad luck. firstly the plane me and neil were on to go to london had faulty brakes so we missed our connection to japan, luckliy though a little fat man with no hair at heathrow booked us on the next plane to japan. so all in all we were only a few hours behind schedule. the flight was not bad apart from really crap food and the highlight was getting a cup noodle to eat. after a long flight (involving almost no sleep), we finally arrived in japan to find that my luggae had been misplaced by the lovely people at british airways so i had to wear the same clothes i wore for my flight for another day which wasnt the nicest feeling in a place i can only describe as being sweaty. also a lack of personal hygiene products wasnt a great help to that either. all that we've got round to so far is trying to figure out the japanese rail network which isnt the simplest thing to navigate plus a night on the booze, trip to chinatown (where i got all my hair cut off, sorry girls im bald now), and a we went to an aqaurium with a whale shark inside. well thats it from me for now kids, but missin everyone already back in the land of blighty and where ever else you are at the moment, think we off to check out a pervy lounge so laters and speak to you all soon, raymond
