im going to write the most condensed blog ever

obon week is a week long holiday, one of my friend Kelvin came down to fukuoka from tokyo to sightsee on Sunday, took him to Dazaifu and Fukuoka Tower, and then ate at a Yattai, like a night market food stand, for some sexpensive dinner, then we left on Tues, and i head to Tokyo, stayed at my friends place in Oimachi, went around Yoyogi, Harajuku, Akihabara on weds, Akihabara has maid on the street and 6-floor hentai store, and Harajuku is so cool, but the funky girls only comes out on Sun, then had nomihodai at night, and then went to Gaspanic with Clement and Neil in super gaijin town Roppongi, and then puked and trained home at 530am

few hrs after drunkness, went with the same drunk ppl, to Enoshima, and i finally went surfing for the first time, i had a near death situation (seems to happen everytime when i try new sport), but man, surfing is pwnage, even though its like THE hardest sport ive ever tried so far

walked around all day on friday – Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shibuya is like the biggest place ever, with a billion ppl everywhere, like fireworks everyday in Vancouver, but regular day, and then at 8pm omw to Mt Fuji at night, Lynn missed the bus, GG… she came next day though, so ya next day errbody went to FujiQ Highland, for the best rides in my life: super ultra ride with flipping/rotating chairs (14times, world record), 80 meter uber tall ride (another record i think?), and super rail gun ride that goes up to 172km/h, you cant even put your hands up in the air b/c itll just fly off or something

after all that in the day, we climbed mt fuji at night (such awesome planning ;p), where they have 0 garbage can and the most expensive instant noodles ($7cdn for a bowl) and everything else ever, and it was so freeaakin cold at the top, i stopped watching the sunrise for some heat, then i rushed down the mountain from 530am in 2 hours, and non-stop transit all the way to kobe to see janet at 2:30pm, and all my fav jpopers, i saw sowelu, ai otsuka, koda kumi, boa, elt, trf, ayumi hamasaki etc, but they were all 1cm tall b/c somehow we had the worst of the WORST spot for the concert, and kinda ruined it for me, so i made it up by spending $$$ on avex goodies (btw janet i bought the ayu beach towel and boa hat off the web ;p)

i took the night bus home at 11pm and got back at 7am monday, did the biggest load of laundry (even threw my shoes in there), and then went to work, where i pretty much did no work, but my boss said i totally looked like i worked all day, kewl

  1. Woah that’s a long ass hike! Hopefully there was a big roller coaster at the top that made it all worth while. ;-)

  2. Weekends here in BC feel like they’re getting more boring with each one that passes.

    I think it’s because you’re the only other gamer I know and now I have nobody to play or even talk to about games. Hahaha. Yeah remember I bought HOMM5? I don’t even play it anymore cuz I forgot the only reason HOMM3 was fun was because we played multiplayer. HOMM5 is probably more fun than I think but I’d never know since I have nobody to play with.

    Get your ass back in BC :p

  3. holy man, that was crazy condense, and pretty good! this is your best post ever, because im int it. thx for making me famous! WHOOHOO

I wanna check out those rides in japan.. i wanna go surfing :(. Anna, Judy, etc. are going to Tofino this weekend :( but i just came back from vacation tho.. and I don’t know how to swim..

  6. haha it was a week, you get these 1 week long holidays instead of long weekends here, its pretty sweet, its like a one time deal, b/c making >$8/hr doesnt give you much options, oh and tell anna/judy/etc wear a rashguard, cause i got owned w/o it

  9. @chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.

  24. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  26. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
