  1. don`t bother steeevo- you devo. ya can spend tha night @ the airry no probs.

    i once had a 7am. flight and there was no way i could make it in time from my pad. and there was no point in stayin @ a hotel, as i`d have to check-out @ 5.

    so i made me way to the airport and set-up camp on one of tha `couches`. as everything was shuttin up, a friendly security officer came around and took my details. there were several others in the same `boat`. dont expect any sleep though. most things shut down, but there is just enuff activity to keep ya from gettin some good z`s.

    hope that helps thumbsup.gif

  2. yeah, hope everyone is okay.

    that sure was big!!! i usally dont feel `em when i`m outside, but... was actually @ Tokyo Sea Life Park(?) when it happened. we were watchin tha penguins and they were spinnin out. they were swimmin in circles like a whirlpool and then every three minutes or so they`d swim to tha rocks but wouldn`t get out! it was bizzare eek.gif . saw `em earlier in tha day and they were just doin their own thing, uno, swimmin around, catchin a few rays... tha girl said that sometimes animals do wierd things before an earthy. sure enough, about 10min. later it happened.

    couldn`t make last train home cos tha lines were closed, which is why i`m @ cafe now. trukkin spewin abit though. thought i was gonna get to spend tha night in a hotel wakaranai.gif

  3. that`s interesting, i`ve been to an acupuncturist(sp) a few times in tha last 6 months, and he`s blind too!

    i`ve heard it isn`t so rare. apparently, their sense of touch is meant to be awesome thumbsup.gif

     

    btw frannyo, it wasn`t a massage `with a happy ending` was it? i like them tha best ;\)

  4. i hear ya joshnii, i hear ya. (good post)

    gotta love those stikas everywhere clap.gif i covered all tha ones in my house with surf/snowboard/music stikas. now my bathroom/shower/toilet/kitchen looks a lot like an advertisment for aforementioned surf/snowboard/music companies. couldn`t understand `em anyway.

    i`m gonna count how many i`ve got in me apartment tanite... confused.gif that should be fun

  6. maoriboy, sounds good. didn`t realise there was a bit of a following here. lets have a SJ `LET`S JAZZING!`

    when is the festival? be sure to let me know when/if ya score som tix. there`s a good (Maori) boy ;\)

  7. in my opinion, when you appreciate (understand?) jazz, you know what music is all about.

    have to agrre with earlier posts re: Miles Davis, John Coltrane. can`t really go wrong using these as a starting point. although my personal faves are Duke Ellington (that`s nice), Art Blakey and Mose Alison.

    I `got onto` jazz when i came here 5yrs. ago. so glad i did. goes well with any mood.

    Zaoman, get yaself a compilation album and go from there. you`ll soon work out what you like and don`t. stick at it though- it`s worth tha ride. thumbsup.gif

  8. EXCELLENT slow, great work. thanks for the photos too. i read tha article in j.today and it sounds as though it`s no secret among the surfing brothers. might be possible to island `hop` and check a few out.

    whatever i decide to do over tha summa hols. i`ll be sure to post it here! thanks again. \:\)

  9. capitan, don`t worry! i paid my last years one i Feb. this year. At first i didn`t know what is was, because i`d just had a shaken done on my car and i thought i`d covered all bases. then i was inforned that it was an `additional` tax.

    i kept puttin it off and off and then finally paid it this feb. yeah, i got a cuppla threatening letters in the meantime but hey...

    Which Oshima?
    i actually meant the Oshima in/near Tokyo. app. it takes about nine hours to get there by ferry.

    SLOW, could you get some details when you go this weekend? re: boat, accommodation,,, much appreciated.

    Dims, keep those stories comin`. are your crew renting that house this year?
  11. haven`t decided yet Yamakashi, but we`ve both got almost the entire month off. will probly try to avoid Obon, although there will most likely be a `serious` festival worth checkin` out. will also try and avoid sat. & sun, as i read tha place gets overrun with `tokyoites`.

    also, depending on what tha typhoons are doin, we may suddenly decide to go...`tomorrow`.

  12. this one`s probly for tha surfers, but any info would be greatly appreciated.

     

    i`m planning a bit of a surf-trip to Oshima this August, and was just seeing if anyboby`s ventured there? i`ve got some basic info. on tha joint, but apart from that not much else. (lonley planet)

     

    I`ll be goin there with a mate, and we`re takin a car, so getting around won`t b a problem. we`re planning on camping and surfin our `nuts off. about a weeks stay should do tha trick. i`ve heard the waves are pretty good.

    can`t afford to do an Indo. trip, so this will have to suffice.

    cheers. wave.gif

     

    p.s. feel free to invite yourselves.
