this was taken from a cookery book - apparently this guy is the nihon equivalent of Ainsley Harriot, without the baldness. Talk about keeping your emotions hidden; I wonder if he ever walks around his house with 'GRUMPY' or 'HALF-CUT'... I guess I'll never know.

We start our Japanese lessons on Friday night. Our tutor, Mutsuko is really cool; she's taught Japanese in Australia and is going to teach us in our home for 1000 Yen each - abouit a fiver, which is roughly 1/5 of the cost of learning in the UK. We even get all the materials we need - diamond.

It may be a couple of days before I can update the photos - i lost my miniSD card for my phone in the machine at the Video Store (another story for another day), and they're about 3000yen to replace, but there are plenty of photos still to upload - keep watching... for now, here's a link to the oddest thing I saw in the Youme Town supermarket today (but by no means the oddest thing in there). Watch it here.
