Jottings of Japan

Never really thought of myself as a blogger before... but it seems to be the trend of late, so I thought I'd give it a go. Apologies in advance for the boring content you will endure as I capture my life in size 10 Arial font (for the most part, anyway). So without further ado, Let's blogging!

A bit of Sunday and Monday

On Sunday I met up with a friend from Gunma in Tokyo and we went to watch my friend play Electone in concert. It was AMAZING! My friend was awesome, and so was the performance called "Go!Go! Boys!"

Afterwards was beers at the Lion Beer Hall in Ginza, then a long train ride back to Isesaki (though it was the Ryomo all the way) where D and I jumped in my car and drove to Minakami. Got there at about midnight, after stopping once to err experience adult vending machines, and celebrated with a few Zimas and slept in the car on the side of a mountain road. Luckily the next day was overcast so the sun didn't really wake us up. Eventually got motivated by 10am, found some food in a quaint little cafe near Minakami Eki and then went in search of onsen.

We found a huge one, though I was a little apprehensive. You could see everything from the footpath - everything. And men and women were together. So instead we went and found a men only one (though D did get to see boobies once by mistake). It was a weird place though. Bears in cages, old furniture everywhere, old toothless men demanding your ticket so you can partake in a lucky dip and receive old/used goods... hmmm.

Afterwards we went and found more food, and then drove home. Only took us about 15 hours to get from Minakami to Maebashi. Silly 3 day weekend traffic.

Hmm ok maybe next time... The onsen did look much nicer than the inside one we went to.
