I am In Japan

And don’t really have the time or energy to write anything.
Maybe later?
Zoe is still as crazy as I remember, except, now she speaks Japanese.
I have this overwhealming feeling that sherever I go, Zoe will be there to order me food and take me to a park.

Needs to leave the apartment for food…

Yes, it is true, I will venture out in search of food.
Please pray for my safety.
This day has gone so quickly already!

In Transit

I am in Narita International Airport.
The 8-hour flight to Japan was totally fine.
They made me re-pack my bags in Brisbane and check one of my carry-on pieces in. Was very annoying, but my father and I handled it well. Apparently Japan Airlines only allows 20kg each, and they are very strict about the one-piece [...]

Fun and Games (5 @ 15%)

Yesterday I went on an expidition. I was on the prowl. I ended up in Sunnybank, and I was looking for dong dong ju. Korean rice wine. Once purported to be ‘banana flavoured gasoline’, in the later months of my sojourn, I became quite attached to it as a beverage of choice. On special occasions.

Is that ok?
Zoe: I do love picnic, too but cause of this bloody weather,
we have [...]

Faaaaaattt…

So, clearly, the best way to celebrate the re-awakened metabolism of a dear friend, and certain lead-performer, after four days of simultaneous vomiting and diahorreah is….
Indian buffet!!!!!
(Insert cheering, clapping, whistling, hat throwing and the double-handed air grab/shake gesture that denotes all-round winning.)
Two types of curry, pizza, splayed king prawns, fried chicken, baked broccoli, pilaf, naan, [...]

Entertaining the Masses…

All I Want For Christmas Is You, originally uploaded by Nathan Stoneham.
You don’t get many opportunities to sing Christmas carols (including interpretive dance/contact impro break) for significantly important people.
Needless to say, I ate my fill of fully expensive food, real orange juice and post-performance dessert course (including fruit flan and/or mudcake).
From such a meeting, we [...]
