-Japan is a hot country, really hot, really fucking hot. If any of you dear readers are thinking “oh but we have already read what Gibbo said about the heat, are you not treading on trodden ground Mr Treen?” then you clearly have no real appreciation of just how hot and uncomftorble this place is right now. As soon as I leave the house I am instantly coated in nice healthy layer or perspiration that will not go away. One day two weeks ago, when it was particuarly hot, by the time I had walked to the supermarket and back with my heavy shopping, I was sweating so much. If I had just jumped into the sea I would probably have been only a little more wet.
-Japan is not expensive, Britain is.
I have still done no kendo, but my fucked up body is healing nicely and I should be ready to go any day now. I am teaching English and proofreading scientific papers for work.
Last night I needed to use an international phone box at 1AM so I decided to make myself look as rough as possible with my scruffiest clothes, and a massive pair of headphones playing Led Zeppelin at full volume, all the while sipping a one litre carton of woolong tea. I walked through the town centre. It felt good, I am going to do it more often.
At a party I met a girl who is a model. She was totally hot but alas she wouldn’t let me sleep with her, some people are so rude! I will have to find out what her surname is so we can all put it into Google.
