i finally went to eat 食べ放題 (all you can eat) here, and it was 焼肉 (bbq)! man it was soooo good, but i couldnt as much like when i went to とんかつ大将 – the uber massive fried pork place, all because i ate lunch lol, so i was a little bit disappointed in myself, and also i realized that, its so much harder to eat uber b/c i had to wait for the food to cook so many times that, i just feel full so much faster ;/ there were weird rules at the place to eat all you can eat, well first you take off your shoes at the restaurant and put it in this locker, but thats normal in japan (wouldnt you like that amrik? everyone barefeet and eat with you!), but like… you cant reorder until you finish all the food on your table or something, and that you can order atmost 5 orders of the same thing, so here, luke cant order anything, atleast thats the eng translation, maybe they just dont know what theyre talking about

on sunday, i went to 三井グリーンランド,　an amusement park in 熊本 – Kumamoto, its about an hr and half away, and it was like 4 times playland size, but only 2 times amount of rides in playland lol, well actually i think theres like 20 rides including bunch of kids rides and other stuff, and then whole ton of random stuff, the place was soooo huge lol… there were the reg rides, and dangling leg rides, a ride that you stand (that one was pretty cool actually, if only it had more drops), a completely-not-wet log ride, and then a everything-wet-including-underwear log ride, speaking of log rides, they give you like… optional plastic bag to wear when you go on so you dont have to worry about getting soaked lol, it looks so dumb, but i paid the price for not wearing with soaked boxers for about half of the day

so ya, its a bad picture, but look at the background on the left side of the picture, its like white ish dots, cause thats ALL WATER splashing up from the drop lol… there were also big swimming pool that was $$$ if you buy admission separately, like 4 haunted house (freakin one of them was actually so freaky, like super dark elevator and hallways with billion corners), ultraman shop (yes ULTRAMAN), masked rider live action (yes i actually saw the REAL MASKED RIDER!), and a -30 deg ice cave, and you’d think, ya sure, -30, well, inside the wall is actually all ice, and theres ice sculptures, so its like -5 or 10 probably, but it was one of the best part of the park

i just like the pic on the left i dont know why (bigger size pics are all on flickr), and the picture on the right was taken on the wall in the girl bathroom at the pool, in front of the squatting toilet… ya i dont get it

so with all that in the park, how much does it cost? well admission is 1200yen i think, all ride pass was 3600yen, or get both for 4700yen or something, pool is 1200 or 1800yen, but you can also get admission+pool for 1900yen, train ride there and back is 2000yen in total, plus bus both way 780yen, but you can also get both way train and bus+admission for like… 800yen less or something i dont remember, its like a math problem, but no matter what you choose, the answer is “too expensive”
