Hey Hey followers : >
Nikko is gorgeous, would consider coming back again but staying somewhere more 'japanese' closer to town. Going to sendai tomorrow, all booked in.
Will be there till Monday when I suspect I will head to Aomori. After that its south, looking too expensive to get to Hokkaido without the rail pass. That and its snowing, would be nice to check out the Ainu stuff up there though.
So Nikko is very nice, walked through the town and just the peoples yards are gorgeous. Saw busloads of people going through the town missing all the lovely little local non-tourist shrines and stuff. Bunch of Japanese school kids all said hello to me and freaked me out a bit, they were stoked when I replied Ohio, it was morning btw. Had a curry bun thing for lunch from a busy little bakery, tasty, had no iea what was in it till I bit in.
The stories of American tourists seems to be pretty accurate too. Had a couple of obnoxious ones making stupid requests to the poor hostess here, no japanese language whatsoever.
Anyhow, Sendai is looking tasty, costal so lots of seafood and from what I saw in tokyo should be great quality.
Anyhow, still time limited so gotta go, I'll try and get the photos online in Sendai and I might even get a prepaid phone, no promises though, bit worried bout my cash but havent had to make a withdrawl yet.
Ja mina!

Hey there leader :)
Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself and gadding about the place. Good to hear you're walking around, that is the best way to travel if you can do it.
You and the food, you're crazy just eating anything, that peasant food you were talking about freaks me out big time. Careful what you say about Americans there mate, I'm practically a local here now and that's nearly American :)
Can't wait for the next installment, oh and did you get word back from the Aussie you were maybe going to couch surf with?
