ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm back in Japan after spending a few weeks out. It is HOT and I am going to spend a few days sleeping and recovering. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not long to go now before I'll be making my way back to Tokyo. Been a good few weeks here. A very big football game to watch before that Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oh yes. Although got to admit in some ways I'm actually looking forward to getting back to Japan to eat less and drink less. Very strange feeling, but one I usually get after a few weeks back here eating and drinking way too much....... Link to post Share on other sites
Zaoman 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm in Florida at the moment and enjoying a break from Japan with family. I'm hoping that by the time I get back to Japan it will have cooled down a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 and florida's not hot? Hot'Lanta feels just like Japan to me Ive been laying on beaches (especially enjoyed Tannowa and Isono no Ura out in Wakayama) Isono has little waves and a sheeeeetload of surfers, proper beach, nice sand, cool peeps, clean water. Def worth the trip out Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Shanghai at the moment. Don't you just hate it when all the glitz of gleaming highrises can't be backed up with street lighting or traffic that obey the rules? A facade of opportunity for the gullible. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 That's an interesting post, thursday. A front can be built in 10 years, but the infrastructure behind it takes generations. Most of Oishida is post-war construction, and rubbish. Times were hard and money short. The new homes that have gone up since I've been here are top class. Urban renewal takes time and money. As for the traffic: it's China. Link to post Share on other sites
