Don't go worrying yourself - Mr Ocean is a sensitive soul who shys away from controversy and any confrontation. Adhere to polite rules and all-round respect and you'll be fine

Kurai is dark and gloomy right?
Think of an orange!

Hope so.
SnoboYaro - you out of Japan for good then now?

If people enjoy them, whats the problem?

Nah, I liked some of their mellower melodic material.

That is when I go back home for a few weeks. It is my target. Then when I get back to Japan I will do my best to keep it up, though maybe not quite as fanatically as I am doing now.

28th April I first posted this. So I've been doing it for about 6 weeks!
Half way there! -
Some of you have very nice landlords. I am one of those who never sees his.

I hope it isnt gonna rain at night when I am scheduled to do my jogging
-
Really sorry about the delay - lots of speculation as to my fate appearing here...thanks for the concern!
Anyway, the story isn't perhaps as exciting as it could have been.
I did go to the police that night - with my gaijin card, not my passport. They were actually very friendly and explained that there had been a robbery the night before and that they were asking to see ID of quite a few people. When I explained to them about the passport/gaijin card thing, they said they meant the gaijin card but couldnt communicate well enough with me, and passport is the word I heard , the easiest to understand.
So it just took a few minutes, very friendly, no bad feelings and if anything they were apologetic about it all.
Thats how it went.
As for my jogging - its still going very well thanks. Im now doing about 6km a night in about 30 minutes, no stopping and my body feeling much better for it. I'Ve lost quite a bit of weight too - everyone can tell. Hoping to continue with it for another 7 weeks or so.
Gambarimasu!

Well it seems that they dont like jogging gaijin. See here;

I was out jogging last night along a deserted country road (my usual route), police were there and stopped me - asking for my passport! While I was jogging for christs sake! When I said I didnt have it they said I should have it with me wherever I am (!) and that there had been some reports about some suspicious looking foreigner (!!)
They demanded I go to the police station tonight with my passport. Will report again tomorrow

5 weeks - that would almost be too long!
I will be out of Japan for just under 3 weeks in August.

I get charged 3500 yen

A few hearings and it does get better - the pain we go through hey
-
Are you sure?
Might have to give it a try for my main meal of the day -
I think I'll stay away from cheese, cheeseman. Thanks all the same.

Again thanks for the tips, I am now spreading out my nibbles and eating a little bit more than before.
Ganbarimasu!
-
Hmmmm, didn't really take that into consideration. Thanks for that, perhaps I should be eating a little more than I am currently....
-
Thanks.
RIght now I have small breakfast, small lunch and (smaller than usual) dinner. = always hungry!
Then going out for my nightly jog.
Would be great to know how much calories I use in a day doing nothing.
