Yesterday I spent hours riding on a large inflatable banana towed by a boat. Well, sometimes I was riding it, sometimes I was being thrown from it... Yamamuro, of Nishi fame, and co and I went to a beach on Yoroshima (which used to be an island before they filled in the sea between - just for fun as far as I can tell) and hung out all day. We had a BBQ (Japanese style - all meat no salad), beer, plenty of sun and some shade. The banana was heaps of fun. The water was heaps warm so it was more fun to be thrown off actually! Although the water was heaps filthy - I don't reckon I will be going back to that particular beach in a hurry! At the end of the day we did the Watermelon Bashing (I re-named it). This involves a blindfolded and disorientated person holding a large stick and attempting to smash a watermelon open. It took about 9 people but we eventually cracked it open! Above is the photo of the demolished item in question. My arms and legs got a bit burnt and unfortunately I was wearing the same bloody shorts I am always am so have managed to burn in my terrible shorts tan line again. Will remedy this at the end of the week when I am sunning myself on a beach in Thailand...
Yeah, so Thailand - only 4 days away now! I am getting heaps excited. Paid for my flights on Saturday so now I actually have tickets. Only thing I don't have is local currency because the banks here are useless. Will have to wait until I get to Kansai for that, and hope that they have what I want! I have started the process of eating everything left in the house instead of going shopping which is making for some interesting meals... I had soup for breakfast for example. And thanks to a particular generous friend I have a fridge full of mini chocolate bars to consume before Thursday too since they won't survive out of the fridge long in this heat!! Damn, I am forced to eat chocolate!
