Jap Blog 2nd August 1996

Up and had saman (fish) for brekky. Motoyuki, the Kimura’s son, drove us to the train station. The Kimura’s gave us 10000 Yen each. We were going to do some work for them but being foreigners meant we required a work permit and so we were unable to do so. Mr Kimura still paid us though [author’s note – the generosity of the Japanese is astounding]. Only person that talked to us in all of our train travel was a girl called Naoko [author’s note – aren’t they all?]. Quite crowded on the train at times. Interesting sign at train station. Wrote a few postcards. Plenty of mountains and trees. I saw a Jap blow his nose today [author’s note – a rare occurrence and one worth mentioning]!! Took a bus to stay with some guy near Toyama but we got off at the wrong stop. Waited an hour after phoning and then found out why we hadn’t been picked up. Town is called Inami. Best pair of legs I’ve ever seen today with a see-through mini skirt. Mmm, mmm.
