Climbing Mount Fuji

October's great here. So cool. You can jog through the park and not break a sweat. I loves it.

EDIT: You should shoot for a 29th arrival. Get some sleep, and party your bag off on 30th. That will be all the Halloween parties. Not sure who I'm going to be this year. Thought about trying to do Tobias Funke, but my Jesus costume last year was my natural hair. You do the math.

 

I am looking forward to October as I leave Tasmania on route to Greece via a months long stay in Japan

 

LMAO yeah was about to say Tobias would be hard unless you caught alopecia in the last 2 years!

Will arrive early in the morning on the 30th, will be fine to party the same night, I know I got a bit shit-faced early last time we went out and that was the same day I arrived, but will be fine this time. Was drinking on the plane, drinking when I landed, so was half cut before I met up with you and Owain. Won't be half cut this time as flying out on my own, not with my alcoholic step-father.

Just found some reviews of the Ryokan I was supposed to be staying at, place is a dump, teach me to trust Lonely Planet guides and hotel recommendation (ie: paid) websites... Found a regular hostel for the same price in the same area that has had nothing but good reviews, so going to book that and the flights tomorrow.

 

What area is it?
I'll likely be out for Halloween. Bring your costume.

Not really my cup of tea, but it's cheap and I only need somewhere to sleep.

Halloween... hmmm... no sure what to dress up as... with the goatee my choices are limited... maybe Gordon Freeman? get a skull cap and go all camp as Ming the Merciless?

 

The choice is oh so obvious.

 

Lost me on that one, don't know who that is.

 

It's the guy from Breaking Bad. It's actually a pretty good show. Although I'm sure GP will set me straight and tell us that it is a freaking amazing show or something.

 

Don't think we get that show over here, or if we do, only on satellite, my subscription ran out ages ago and not bothered renewing it.

 

Hostel confirmed, job's a good'un!

 

Each episode is better than most movies.

And you think the knuckle heads responsible for TV here would get it?

 

Good point, might "acquire" a few episodes tonight then.

 

It will give us some shit to dwell on over that beer. It's truly awesome. I don't know anyone that's not loved it. I just read that Season 4 isn't expected to start until Summer 2011. :flamethrower:

 

LOL 6.4KB/s might take me a while...

 

I'm surprised with the fact that I paid a few extra hundred yen for you last time.

 

Should be done downloading by the time you make it home. :lol:

 

I give that a 2.
