Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Out and about in Matsue. Here we see the Delightful Miss E, on one of her jaunts to her Matsue country retreat, sitting on the couch at a charming little bar by the main river. The bar is called Bar EAD, and is somehow related to a shop from Tokyo. This I don't understand. Posted by Sir S at 10:20 PM. The beast of kawatsu. Posted by Sir S at 10:13 PM. Sunday, October 15, 2006. It is not only what is said in these interviews that is interesting, but what you can infer from what ...

Monday, August 14, 2006. Being the dimwitted rock gods that we are, the Delightful Miss E and I completely failed to prepare accomodation in Osaka when we were "planning" our summersonic trip. In the end we decided that the best thing to do was to just turn up in Osaka and assume we could find a room. It's a huge city with many hotels, surely we would have no problem . So what does one get for 6000 yen? Amateur porn channels you have. I restrained myself from taking pictures of. The Budweiser girl (!

Friday, February 16, 2007. Oh honourable and exalted Reader, I must interrupt again, for today I will humbly attempt to offer up an explanation of polite speech in Japan. In keeping with the topic of this lowly post, the explanation shall be volunteered using the kind of speech which this unworthy writer regularly encounters in many noble and important businesses here. This post is to be respectfully written in the language used by my august interlocutors in their speech. Posted by Sir S at 9:38 AM.

Notes from the Grand Tour: February 2007

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. The winter that was. As the thermometer climbs into the set of numbers above zero, I would like to remember the winter that was past (and pray that it doesn't return again soon). Last wednesday we had about 3 inches of snow which proceeded to hang around all week like that guest from England who just won't get the hint that at some stage you will. Need your lounge back.

Notes from the Grand Tour: July 2006

http://kyotored.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Monday, July 31, 2006. A short walk around the town and an even shorter climb up the local mountain (. Was about the extent of our physical exertions in the hot humid climate that is. In summer. We strolled the gardens of the JINPUKAKU, a Victorian era house built entirely out of cedar and costing nearly the same amount for its construction as the entire yearly budget of the town of. What I would like to say about. Is that they don’...

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Thursday, September 21, 2006. I'm in the land of H.P. Lovecraft. Which is very exciting. Back in the days of Dymocks I had planned to do a tour of New England with a friend and visit all the significant sites that features in his short horror stories. It was to be our terror trip across America. He by H.P. Lovecraft. I visited the location mentioned in the story He. Posted by Sgt M at 3:42 PM. Monday, September 11, 2006. For those h...

Sunday, April 30, 2006. Defences against Kenpo 2. This is of course my fault. I trained at a school with an extensive array of kung fu opportunities available to me, and when my instructor beat me up he didn`t use much kickboxing at all. I should have learnt some of that kung fu! Posted by Sir S at 12:13 PM. I like to ride my bicycle. This bike is so cute, so adorable, that every time I approach it at its parking spot I have to say to myself "Yes we can! Could it be any cuter? Posted by Sir S at 12:01 PM.

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Drink for the Orient. I have decided (though I must admit that it was very much a no-brainer) that my drink of choice for the Japanese leg of my journey shall be none other than the Sake Martini. 3 parts Gin to 1 part Sake. I believe one can garnish this with cucumber but I'm thinking a lemon peel might go down better. Posted by Sgt M at 11:49 PM. Friday, June 09, 2006. The Trials of Air Travel. The thought...

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Wednesday, October 11, 2006. The Temple and the Handshake. On Sunday past, Ms T and I attended the open house day of the Mason's Grand Lodge in New York City. Every year they throw their doors open and try to convince the dubious public that they have no secrets (apart from their handshake of course). Well, if you are a Mason, you are likely to give the contract to a fellow Mason right? Another interesting fact is that two subjects ...

Notes from the Grand Tour. Travel Diaries from a Goth Antipodean abroad. Thursday, November 30, 2006. A Headache And A Half. I toddled down to my District Office appointment in sunny downtown Newark today to get my temporary work permit issued (as I had been advised by the USCIS customer service center after my 4th call to them to find out what the deuce had happened to my permit) as I was on the understanding that it was outside the regular processing time and now serious things must be done. We will ju...
