A side note....

Hello peeps! So I FINALLY have the net at home! I posted some new stuff below but I'm still getting the hang of the picture posting crap. As a result, please look at the pics below from the bottom up. Over the next few days I will continue posting some of my older journal entries as well as more pics, so check back often.

The noodle slide "after" photo. Poor bastard had a rough time of it. 

Screw hygeine....let's eat somen! 

People eating from the noodle slide at the water festival. 

Yeah.....I had a slight fixation with the light displays..... 

More lights. Pictures do not do it justice people. It was f---ing magical.

The view of Mount Unzen from the top of the main building in Shimabara castle. Positively haiku inspiring... 

Ok. You know we look like geeks. We know we look like geeks. Let's never speak of this again...
