Sunday was awesome. Somehow with minimal planning we managed to scrounge together enough stuff for a barbeque. A bunch of people met up at the Fukasomethingshinchi Eki and we headed down to a riverbed where a whole bunch of JP were grilling and hanging out. One guy brought the grill (bought it this morning, in fact), I brought plates, bread, and forks, another person brought cups and paper towels, donuts, more bread, chips, etc...it was quite impressive really. And so we spent an afternoon huddled around a 300yen grill (~$3) trying to get the damn thing to light, then finally having SUCCESS we cooked our trophies. Meanwhile, the JP around us are doing what they do best - drinking heavily. It was so windy and sprinkly out that I had to take a picture when I saw this:
um...that's weird...the photos aren't on my camera. well, picture a drunk japanese dude stripped down to his boxers, diving into the icy river. And then there was the guy that couldn't even stand up...fell asleep half standing and ended up lying in the rocks, piss-pantsed. Drunks aside, it was so nice being outside with interesting people. I hope we do more outdoorsy stuff.
Now, I go to study and figure out what is wrong with my camera. :/
I enjoy your Blarg!!! The most interesting thing I have done in the last month is go to the dump with an old mattress. Oh, and a Jack Rabbit was in my back yard this morning. Your life is more interesting.
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago I went to Australia. I got is trouble in a Fast Food place, called a Take-Out. If went to the counter and bought food, you had to leave. If you sit at a table there is a different menu and much higher prices. Something to do with taxes.
