Still Will in Japan: June 2005

sorry......

i suck. havent done anything except sip on the fine fine wines and beer and sho chu and pee of the metropolis im currently haunting. it's so nice to be back in the city but things are aeons different than the country, as one can expect. the biggest surprise is that country people in japan seem to take to foreigners much better than city folk. very strange, but actually, nagoya is kind of famed for that. a bit of the old ice ass cold not so friendly butt hole syndrome. dont want to catch it.

im gonna get some stuff together. get back busy. start cooking at HOME again

i'll stick some photos and women up here later today.. gotta watch my SOUP!! yum yum

Inuyama Matsuri at the World Expo

this year, Nagoya is the host for the Expo, formally known as the World's Fair. anyways, its a big deal ... a big big big deal, and i was lucky enough to have been on my old town's 'dashi' or float team for the town festival. they had asked me to do it last year, and ive been doing it since then.

for one weekend, all of the float or 'dashi' style festivals were invited to join the Expo, and bring their 'dashi's' to exhibit them and take part in a joint festival. so, our over 400 year old 'dashi' was disassembled and transporting, along with us, down to the festival at around 3am one saturday morning. we built the thing with our hands and partook in the international festivities.. which was mainly.... beer.
its was a great time, here are some pics from the weekend..

love will
