Now I am back in Japan I see new things I didnt see or realise before.
Like how dirty my fingernails get in Tokyo. Or how people take shopping very seriously.
Maybe I knew all this before, but ignored it because I had me a good job. Now I am just a backpacker, I find myself refusing the sixth plate of sushi. Oh go on then...

goodbye oz
I've seen the Reef, the Rainforest, and everything in between.
Tomorrow I am returning to Japan. Yippee!
I wonder what my body will think of snow.
Gonna eat noodles til they come out of me nose. Lovely image ne?

found nemo!

I am animal spotting in a wee place called Bairnsdale.
So far...Koalas, possums, emu, pelicans, dead wombats and snakes.
Tomomi and Eri are being wonderful tourguides.
The country life in Australia...nice.

Everything was Illuminated

got it in my head.
Everything is Illuminated is a super film.
So tragic, sombre, funny. Two thumbs up.
My chocolate date thought so too.

and there is breathtaking scenery around every bend.
i keep expecting to see hobbits, or lions, witches or wardrobes.
i'm flying away tomorrow
