So this is to keep the avid blogsters (people that watchs blogs??) happy! Above is another section of that poster, and below are the photos from Nikko. Enjoy!

Japanese Pigeons are smarter than British pigeons


Unfortunately this photo is slightly blurred, but this is a pigeon... on a train. I went shopping to Ota the other day and this pigeon got on the train with us. It was standing their quite happily. Then when we got to the next stop, the doors open and it walked out. You can't make this stuff up, I was almost wetting myself.
In other news, I think my students think I'm mad. I had to teach them about "tall stories" (this was a high level class) so I told them the following story. They didn't find it very funny though... (this wasn't in the text book, I just remembered it).

The Nature Reserve

Meh, went to a Nature Reserve. It was indifferent... I look rough in this blog (apologises for that). But you'll be glad to know that I had a hair cut today (that took over an hour for some reason) which was an event in itself "Short... I want it SHORT!".
Oh and excuse the cheesy music during the sped up bit (thats a bit jerky). I couldn't find any decent music.
Enjoy (the video is 5 minutes long)

Funny Poster 2

So this blog is a bit earlier than I planned, but this part of the poster is just so funny, I couldn't hold it back any more! Enjoy. (I still can't get over how funny this poster is...)
I will try and do another blog over the next couple of days (hopefully more interesting than the last few) but there have been problems at work so I haven't felt up to it. Fingers crossed!

Sorry, blame the zoo

Funny Poster 1

One thing I've noticed is LOTS of people smoke in Japan, and they smoke everywhere! A bit of a shock compared to the UK now where yo can't smoke anywhere (hooray!). They smoke in restaurants, bars, alsorts of places, except the train station...
And this is where I found this poster. Its a big poster about train station etiquette and this is one corner of it. Its a bit blurry because I looked like an eejit taking a photo of a poster. They get worse. Fire... dun dun duuuuun!! (Put a better quality copy up now, so should be better)

The Joys of Skype 1

Never doubt the sheer randomness that occurs betwen brothers. I didn't want to put this up, but undoubtable it would have appeared anyway seeing as Mark made it.
Was talking to Mark on Skype while cooking dinner.Little did I know you could take photos with Skype. This is the end result (I'm so so sorry)

Out on my Dyke, I mean Bike

Yup, took the new wheels out for a spin. Not really a lot going on. It's not that interesting, but I hope some of it is interesting.
Oh the beginning is random. It's when I went shopping last week and got soaked. Got my umbrella though.
Enjoy

The Train

Not as interesting as my last blog, I didn't get lost (sorry to disappoint :P).
Its a bit messy this blog, so I apologise. And I try to do some arty farty stuff in the middle, but to be honest, its just crap!
There were a few things I didn't get on camera, such as almost getting knee-capped by a ticket machine, and the language barrier when buying the bike. I got back safely as well. I'll try and blog again soon, but I'm working the next five days (might try and get another one out tonight). Hope everyones Ok over there!
