Heartland

I'm just about to board the plane. Bye bye
@ Weeble what on earth are you on about! My name is Annabel White and one day you might believe someone

I am off to China tomorrow with someone very very special I have met whilst on our retreat in the beautiful countryside and islands of Japan. I have decided to step back from the world of the internet for numerous reasons - one being I have always been quite uncomfortable relating to people I can't ...

Floorshow
Body Electric
Afterhours
Valentine
Train
Alice
Temple Of Love
Somekind Of Stranger
Possession
Rain From Heaven (I know but it's still Andrew)

So, in less than half an hour we left the hotel, found an agent and booked something else. Tomorrow we go : We will travel from Tokyo to Kyoto and Nara, to see two former imperial capitals and repositories of much of Japan's cultural heritage. Our journey will then continue to Japan’s southern isl...

Oh My God! Who the f**k are Turbonegro? They look like Agonybag! And The Sisters are supporting them and Marylou Manson. Supports their claim for not being a goff band.

Hikikomori is a juvenile/evolutionary issue. Hoodies, goths, social misfits. I don't see that being any knind of threat.

I'm not liking Tokyo! :( Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. :( Never been, but everything I've seen elsewhere indicates it's insane , so maybe it's just a shock to the system after the last few places? Hopefully a day or two will adjust you better. The Japanese countryside looks pretty mindblowing though....

Bit of a kiddy thing, sorry.

It's a Laurel & Hardy thing

No (though I went to a Japanese noodle bar for my dinner this evening, does that count? :lol: )... it always appealed... Maybe you just need to see more of the place, you know? Everywhere has its good and bad areas. Though I imagine wherever you are it will be pretty packed with (little) people :wi...

Bands should pay you to wear their t-shirts. Buy a nice black linen shirt - really cool.

It's way too loud, too many people (and believe me there are f**king billions of them!) and I have never felt as unsafe in my life. Have you been here?

I don't know if you've been before, but... Of course, the food is great. If you like sushi, the sushi in even fairly modest places is great, better than high-priced stuff I've had in Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia. As for nightlife, it's all a bit of a blur from Sake and Sapporo. But, Ronpongi suck...

No reason for me to take offence, I'm not a Japanese oddball. But I may know a few by the end of the week :lol: :lol: I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun. Once the drizzle and smog passes I might get out and have some fun. Im not in any rush, after the last two weeks in Hawaii Im all for having a rest.

As I think I implied, my girlfriend.

I hope you haven't taken offence.

The Japanese are sickeningly adorable. Too bad most of them are so...little. I think that in relative terms the Japanese are very strange, the ultimate island nation. While living in Japan, my brother went to get his haircut and was offered a pornographic magazine to peruse while he waited. My own ...

*Exactly*.

Actually miss Sin she looks like you! Or have I been looking at the wrong pics of you?

This is an Elf.

boudicca wrote:That could get confusing!

Well Archie, if you do find any spare bona fide chaps over there, do feel free to airmail them over...

Confusing is good. More exciting.
Bona fide chaps ? No such thing. They all want to be something else - girls usually

Fortunately it's me that's here so I get first, second and third choice

Hey, you've already got *2*!

They're girls. Here, they have boy's who look like girls dressing as boys.

Oh, and make sure to grab copious amounts of BlackBlack gum too ! As fast as I find some to buy, friends and work colleagues pinch the bloody stuff ! It's loony and such a top buzz, as some might say :lol: " Hi-Technical Excellent Taste And Flavor! " http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2/b...

Durutti Column ?? Thank you, too

it's 4:30 in the morning (Monday) but as we have gone over the date line everything is even more lagged. Computer in the hotel room again, which is nice but the hotel isn't. We are here for 10 days, booked into the hotel but not so sure how long we are staying on the islands.
