One national holiday I done climbed a mountain... it was some public holiday, I've forgotten which one, and so I went and climbed a mountain with the devestators and some of their work mates. We arrived rather late and at Ikebukuro (somehow, in this massive station I found the guys extremly easily, just walked down the 1st set of stairs and there they were, not bad for 2nd busiest station in Tokyo), the back to Shinjuku (the busiest in the world/Tokyo) and from there headed out west.

So far.... Japan, so far its been 2 months, and finally I am writing that blog I wanted. I want to try to remember everything but will do my best. Left on October the 15th or so, around then. I had a month of prior to that, and basically since I left work (no fault to the job) my life and everyday has been fantastic, I don't think I've had a bad day since September when I quit, to paraphrase and change Office Space "Everyday just keeps getting better, so everytime you see me its the best day of my life". Its not quite that good but it is definately a lot of fun!!!!! After my final party and a few more days I headed off to the airport and (via Taiwan) arrived in Tokyo, Japan!! ... read more
