Ten thoughts
10 Thoughts From Across Okayama, the Land of Sunshine For Lack of A Better Name:


10) Be glad you don't have his job. Get Get In! Get Get Out! He may have actually been asleep standing up.

9) MIGHTY LORD large-size men's clothes. More of an ego boost than the Big 'n' Tall. Hot.


8) I like to attempt to read signs. Japan uses pictures, and thus should make things crystal-clear for you, unless you try to overthink them.

Social Chair Claire: Hey, that bird has a rifle!
Me: Wonder what the sign is for. I don't understand the kanji.
SCC: Hmm.
Me: Kuu-raaay. Ku-raaay. I don't get it.

(long contemplative pause)

Me: Ku-ree... clay. Pigeon with rifle. Clay pigeon shooting. Aha.
SCC: I think we're idiots.

7) The truth is out... it was never "parfait" flavored and we've known it all along. This is what I do at school in lieu of improving my crap nihongo.

6) Wow! More of my secrets revealed! Don't miss out on the debut of my double life.

5) Play around in the rain and befriend statues!


4) Anger the gods by acting a fool at temples. Vicky/Whiki and I attempt samurai poses... and fail.

3) Becoming Japanese against my better judgment. Two Kitty-chans now, but the year is still young...

2) Beware the Pay Phone/ Jolly Green Giant Demon.

1) Especially beware the lumpy Buddha. Peace with one hand, holding "something" in the other that is, in all likelihood, a joint. Love and peace from the inaka!

    Hi-larious...seriously. Your photo tour of Japan just makes me want to pee my pants...er...something like that.

    I am expecting an equally side-splitting e-mail inclusive of certain pertinent details soon!

    I just wanted to say that THE KITTY-CHAN/TUNNEL PHOTO IS AWESOME.
    That is all.
    Carry on.
    (oh! is the Vicky issho ni photo at Hattoji?)

So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka.
