It`s been a while, but now i`ve finally got some regular internet access i can post a few things i`ve been up to.

On the way back from Japan i stopped by Phuket and caught up with what turned out to be 8 mates in total, all keen to spend some time in the sun, drinking, eating and relaxing.

Mid week we booked a fishing charter andspent the day cruising in the Andaman Sea. We only caught 1 fish but the day was still deemed a success.

With the other lads coming from winter in Australia there was alwasy going to be lots of poolside activity.

I had cause to visit Shibuya one last time the day before i left Japan.

I ran into this fella, dancing to the tune of “It’s Raining Men” and drawing quite a crowd just near the Hachiko exit.

His moves were OK, his enthusiasm was spot on, my only suggestion would be a less revealling pair of shorts.

Nihonshu

July 16, 2009 · 16 comments

Nihonshu 日本酒, or sake as most people know it, is found in most bars and restaurants in Japan.

I generally lean towards atsukan 熱燗 which is hot sake but last night at Sushi in Shibuya I went for the cold stuff, served in a masu which is a wooden, box-like cup.

Whenever it’s served in a masu it’s also accompanied with a saucer underneath as it’s tradition to overfill the cup, great value for money.
