Prijemny dobry den!Akurat som dorazil z mesta.Kedze zajtra rano idem vlakom do Nikko (mestecko na zozname Unesco) a tam budem cely den okukavat chramy a aj nocovat, dnes som si kupil celodenny listok na metro.Trochu reku posetrim sily.Vcera som takisto neopatrne vystavil plesinu slnku, tak som dnes chcel pocas najvacsej palavy (pre mna je veru uz aj toto marcove slnko na poludnie palava) zostat niekde skryty. Rano som sa teda odviezol na stanicu Ginza s planom ist do Kabuki-za divadla.Ked som tam dorazil, dostal som odporucanie prist o hodinku a pol, kedze potom budu predavat listky na poslednu cast predstavenia.Ono je to trochu zvlastne.Cele to predstavenie trva az 5 hodin a ma napriklad aj 5 casti.Nie je ale nutne ist na cele predstavenie, ale da sa aj na jedno alebo dve dejstva.Kedze som mal aste kopec ... read more

We left off the last blog waiting for Jason to arrive. He made it. We've since visited Kyoto (old old old capital of Japan) and just arrived to Bangkok. It's 2:30am here. We're exhausted. We'll fill in the details tomorrow.... read more

So not much time passed since my last post, but I'm getting free internet access after buying a very expensive bottle of ice tea, so here I am again... I had some Wendy's breakfast meal this morning (not exactly sure what I actually ate...), walked around Shinjuku very early in the morning (around 6AM), and stumbled upon a Buddhist graveyard. Yep, just walked in... thought it was a nice little zen garden, and then realized I was surrounded by tombstones... But it was so beautifully built! The plants were like bonsai, and there was a bell tower built with such detail, the roof top curving perfectly outward, and the platform built with perfect blocks of stones. Kind of reminded me of the Incan temples in Peru, with perfectly chosen blocks of stone forming the walls of ... read more

For det foerste skal det naevnes at vi lander i CPH med BA 0822. Vi har nu vaeret i Tokyo, Japan i to en halv dag, og har faaet en god fornemmelse af denne enormt store med ret fede by. Der vil komme en beretning med hele opholdet her, men ved ikke om den foerst bliver lavet naar vi kommer hjem. I mellemtiden kan vi jo starte med at spoerge om der er nogen der ved hvad "suzuki" er for en fisk? Vi saa den paa en menu i gaar aftes da vi var paa Sushi-bar i Ginza. ... read more

That's how I'd describe the people of Tokyo so far. I'm writing this at about quarter after eight in the morning Japan time. I'm already dressed and have had a shower. Why is this, you ask? Subway closes at midnight. Cabs are ridiculously expensive. But that doesn't stop anyone in this town from doing their thing. I went out for a "night on the town", as it were, with some friendly people I've met here at the hostel. Two Britts, two Americans, and myself. Quite a balanced group. The subway and trains start running again shortly after 5:00. Consequently, every single bar and club closes at that time. So, if you're going to party, it had better be an all-nighter. There's no meeting it halfway unless you want to walk or take a cab across the ... read more
