I don't know where all your jumpers are.I don't know where all your jumpers are.I don't know where all your jumpers are.

What do you mean I'm wearing them all ?
Arriving in Japan is a bit like returning home having forgotten how to speak and not only become illiterate but completely dyslexic too. Relatively few people speak English, most menus are in japanese - even the prices, outside large cities most ATMs dont take take foreign cards and tourists are a bit of an oddity, most signs are of no use to us and we cant read the maps anyway ( which incidentally have no North is up convention either ). Still, we quite like the place and are getting along just fine. Our first task was to buy some more clothes as our swimshorts and T-shirts did not quite cut it in the northern hemisphere. Besides that, we wandered round a few bits of the surprisingly low-rise city, saw a couple of temples, ordered random food, failed to order drinks, played with our toilet and learnt to count in japanese and read their numbers.
