There's this place. http://www.fuji-net.co.jp/KYUKA/

Hello camel, good to see you back! Did I make to the Andes this summer? Are you kidding? Wouldn't mind though. I was just playing with my fancy website stat tracking software and on one of the activity maps I noticed that I had been Googled from La Paz. Looks like a girlfriend from my university days was checking me out. Might have to swing by that way one day...

Seriously bad advertising for Hakkers going on here. If somebody used one of my pics and I was serious about being a photographer, I'd ask them to credit me properly and provide a contact address, not go bawling about how things are done in the US. These people are your neighbours. Do you like to piss in the bath by any chance?

That Hakuba place is getting a bit litigious at the moment. Watch your back mate.

Something like this might be just the ticket... The young ladies would polish it to a nice sheen as they go up and down.

Very unusual in a titty bar. The shiny disco ball clashes in a most unseemly way with the sedate aesthetic. That thar building will likely be a heating nightmare...

As a runner of a business myself, I'd like to give a small shout for those who have the courage to be in a business that a) requires employees, and requires the prior purchase of anything as a condition of doing business. Not with a barge pole would I touch such an endeavour...

They're all on crystal meth...

Yeah, it sounds like a very unfestive time you're all going to be having. The 'pipe cut lads' are going to be snuggling up to their womens, that's for sure. Talkin' and doin'.

We're entering the era of climate economists. The dismal scientists are slowly waking up to this one.

When we got married, we had a weird Shinto/Buddhist ritual in my mother-in-law's flat. All of her six sisters were there with Grandma too, and one of them beat a little drum thing and chanted a sutra. Then we drank sake from the 3 sizes of dish like you would at a shrine if you forked over a big wad of cash. It was all managed with a pleasant level of seriousness and levity. It was 'fake' and 'grass-roots real' at the same time, which for someone who hates ceremonies came close to being not too much of a dreadful bore.

Ambulances in Japan don't go very fast anyway. My little boy was stunned when he saw how fast they go in the UK.

I already posted that on Page 2 fjef... It's pretty amazing playing - he finds melodies there that George didn't put in there.

Have ever justice and hypocrisy been so obscenely joined? Still, it's a good precedent for hanging Bush and Blair.

Yeah I thought so. When I saw that, I muttered under my breath "Tsondaboy!!". Then my family started saying, "What? What!? What did you just say? Why are you muttering at the TV?!" Kudos to the program admins for finding a real Greek person to do the "I've done both your father and your donkey" sign though. That shows real dedication to authenticity. Especially when any gaijin would have done. (Kudos is also a Greek thing, right?) I gave them low marks though for saying that Winston Churchill started the 'international peace sign'. That was the, ahem, 'international victory over Germany

Did I see you on TV the other night representing your country doing the V sign which in Greece means "I've done both your father and your donkey"? If it wasn't you, it was somebody who looked a lot like you...

He's not fake, he's a registered vicar of God.

I hate Japanese monkeys. Vicious, ugly little things.

I was attacked by a llama on a farm in Kyushu that looked like that

Quote: Originally posted by Mr Wiggles: Getting back to erratic weather of this topic, there have been new record lows for rainfall at this time of year in Western Japan according to NHK. I was down in Aichi in the last few days and it was well warm. 26 degrees in the afternoon. Yep. It hasn't rained in weeks, and in the weekly weather forecasts there's always a little oasis, say, Wednesday, but when you get to Wednesday it turns out to have been a mirage. Effortless vegetable growing requires a decent fall of rain at least once a week, and we ain't getting it. It's been very warm here,

So your missus was only joking when she said she'd rather divorce you than live in Guam? I'd listen to my wife if she started saying that sort of thing (now, anyway, if not before).

Imagine losing your wife because of an urge to sell small guitars. What passion and commitment.

Good sign I'm Sexy! Lots of the smelly little bastards around here. They make a real racket when they fly too. Not got a lot of use for them I must say, apart from as harbingers.

SerreChe knows all about this because one them flies got into his dog's eye.
