Nearly done in Japan

Now in Tokyo after having completed my worldwind tour if the land of the rising sun. I visited one of the 3 best gardens in Japan, saw numerous temples in Kyoto, visited the museum of Hiroshima and tried (unsuccessfully due to the weather) to get a close up look at Mount Fuji. All i have left know to see is Tokyo and then its back to China and then in 13 days i will be back in the Boltown.

Last night i attempted a japanese style night out. One of the girls suggested we go and see Paul van Dyke at a club (i was quite excited when i though it was the guy out Diagnosis Murder), so off we went (via 20 minute bus journey) to a Tokyo super club. Unfortunately, the rest of Tokyo had also decided to come along, and the queue was absolutely huge, and the entrance fee not much smaller. 3 of us decided not to bother, and headed back to Shibuya. Only problem was that the last metro left about two hours before, so there was only one option open to us - KARAOKE. My particular favourites were the Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen and The View, but rest assured i'm leaving my new hobby over hear in Japan. 5 am the trains started to roll again, so it was back to the hostel for a few hours R&R before some more site seeing.

Think the most remarkable thing about Japan has been the friendliness of the people. One of them took time off work to take me out to see a Ninja house (which was as ace as it sounds) and during my visit to the eye doctor they translated everything for me and ended up only charging me 4 quid for a check up and some eye drops. Origato Ozimas!
