Hi all,
Well on Saturday 24-July-2004 Takako and her boyfriend took me to Nagashima Spaland. It's basically a big amusment park near Nagoya. It's got some really great rides. My favourite was the "Giant Frisby" I've posted up the pics from that day up on my gallery as usual. I've also posted a link to my gallery on my homepage so if you don't want to sign up to "Image Station" you can use my guest username and password. So yeah.
On Sunday, 25-July-2004 I went to Toyota city for the "Oiden" which means Welcome. So it was a Welcome festival? Well yeah it had heaps of fireworks. The only problem was that I was so close to the fireworks some of the fragments fell on me and the people around me. Of course the fragments weren't big or dangerous but they did stain. So now my nice white t-shirt has a whole bunch of little yellow dots. Which wouldn't be such a problem but I've only got a limited amount of cloths here in Japan. But all is well. I'm in the process of posting up those pictures right now.
I hope you like the pics. Some are average but there are some really nice ones there I think. Well you be the judge.
My current plans are as follows:
08:53 31-July-2004
Depart Nagoya from Kanayama train station on a JR train using the Seishun Juhachi Kippu (discounted all day ticket)
15:55 31-July-2004
Arrive in Takuma and then I have to find my way to Awashima Island. It should be fun :)
The rest is up in the air. I plan to visit all the major sites of Japan but I'm on a pretty tight budget so I'll have to see how I go... I might have to sleep in the park every now and then...
But all is well. This has and will be a great adventure for me.
I hope you're all taking care of yourselves...
-Chan in Japan
