Meet Me Halfway

We realized our Ultimate Expedition of Destiny has reached it's halfway point! It's kind of sad but the rest of the journey has the best parts including Kyoto, where we're leaving tomorrow, Nagoya, with the cosplay world vup or something like it there during our stay, and T O K Y O. Need I say more?

But well, I just decided to have a few laughs on the photos we've taken so far and... found myself wanting to add them here also, so here you go: ENJOY.

Btw, those who're here for SRZ BZNZ; be gone. You should know by now just not to read my shit.


The photo breaking the eyes is A CAT. I was looking over my shoulder and suddenly it popped up from out of nowhere. So I always laugh so hard when I see this pic.

It's and ESCALATOR. In a PARK. Only in Japan.

This was my... temporary system when I had slight problems with my adapter.

We found a RUISLEIPÄ-package somewhere IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE -we were literally halfway up a mountain, some 15 kilometres away from Beppu. So it of course merited a photo.

We boiled eggs there. On a mountain. In steam, coming from a hot spring.

Moomin Cafe! Everything was so cute there but expensive so we only ate something small (=the head of Moomintroll with ice cream :D)

We answered some elementary kids' questions in the Peace Park of Hiroshima and got these as payment n__n (count them and you can see how many groups came to us asking those questions..... It took a while).

J-Hoppers Hiroshima; "I am beer machine. And you?" made us laugh so hard. Also the smaller comments like "I am beer", "almost beer" and "not beer" were enjoyable... 

 

The ugliest fish in the history of ugly fish. LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

 

OUR PILLOWS in Osaka. Lol Im just cracking up with these pictures  myself XD

 

This one was cute, on the roof of Osaka Floating Garden were locks with the names of married couples~

 

Osaka Castle. I was prompted by Mia. Solution:

 

This sign made me laugh in Nara -do you need to be warned that a wild animal might eat your thinks if you give them to it? Obviously, in Japan, you do.

 

Osaka Castle (or rather the park surrounding it) and a HUGE-ASS cicada. It was like the size of my thumb. But fatter.

 This better keep you entertained for a while so you're welcome. I had a laugh so yeah all is fine.

Today we arrived to Hiroshima after a four-hour bus trip which was mostly spent asleep. As last night was our final one in Fukuoka, we were supposed to go to bed early, BUT. We had gotten to know several wonderful people and in the end we just kept pushing the whole going-to-bed part later and later until we didn't sleep at all. And we kind only realized that by the time the sun had come up and the reception had opened.

We were just hanging around in the lounge room until about three when we had this inspiration to go to the local 24-hour Konbini. Our newly-found friend decided to buy several alcoholic beverages and we bummed a packet of ham to be able to make an omelet. So we were back at the hostel by half four and Mia and I started to make our omelet without actually knowing if it would be our breakfast or a really (and I mean really) late dinner or something.

We also ended up tasting umeshu and asahi and hanged around on the rooftop area since about when the sun started to come up. Fooling around with the cameras had some interesting results (this is from about 2am?) Sadly most of the pictures were taken not by our camera so we don't have them (yet, at least. Facebook is my lover).

And when we started thinking about it this whole thing started with POPCORN which I had accindentally thrown to my suitcase and as we were going through our stuff we ended up wanting that popcorn and decided to eat it as an evening snack or whatever (iltapala).

After the fun night we ran to our bus which left at 10.20 and made it just in time (we had thought they'd leave about once every hour but there would've been an five hour wait for the next one...) and ended up sleeping pretty much the whole way. (Y)

When we got to Hiroshima we realized we once again hadn't gotten the information about the hostel (J-Hoppers) we were going to stay in and had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how to get there from the station. So we went to the local bus-info and tried to confirm where we should go and they were so helpful. It was actually an info for those using the bus lines and trying to find the right one but they printed out maps how to walk to the hostel, drew the hostel to us on the map and then a woman left the info area to walk us all the way to the tram stop... ONLY IN JAPAN. And just afterwards when we got off from the tram and tried to find our way from the stop to the hostel, several people stopped and and asked us if were lost, were we fine and would we find our way, confirming we were going to the right direction. A passer-by woman volunteered to lead us here (as she lives close by) and walked with us until we found the door of the hostel and got in. I repeat: only in Japan.

But other than that, I'm hungry and tired but very, very happy right now. If I get something to eat and some good manga to read (eg. the first volume of Death Note I bought) I'll be totally content.

And I'll be adding those promised pictures of Fukuoka when I get by to do it, hopefully it'll be soon. (~*w*)~
