Hey! Just waiting to board the plane to singapore so thought i would take five, to tell you a little a bit about Japan!
After tokyo came nikko. when i got there, i thought `oh no`, it really was in the middle of nowhere. the nearest international phone was half a hour away and there were just a couple of village and antique shops-a smaller illminster- but not a lot else there apart from the shrines. However, it was all ok as i set little tasks for each day. one day i caught a bus for a nearby mountain and you should have seen the snow. it was like the lion,witch and wardrobe. it came up to my hips and was falling quite hard! it was so quiet and strange. everybody else was wearing skis, i kept slipping and sinking!
another day, i decided to climb a drier mountain. i almost made it to the top. i think i had about one tenth of a km to go but it was absolutely vertical and i thought if i break a leg, that is my trip over and i don:t wanna look for a job yet so decided not to risk it. besides i did not pass one person on the way up the mountain and on the way down. i only passed two, coming down was very scary because you could see how far you could fall!
also spent a week in kobe. the whole area is really nice. my hotel was next to the pearl bridge and the view when the sun sets was amazing and one man would play on his flute or horn auld lang syne, every evening as the sun began to set and the ships came in!
gotta go now, money is running out and have plane to catch!!!!!!!!!!!!
