I Love Kobe

11:02pm Tuesday…I think. I just got a watch today for the first time on the trip so I haven`t been keeping track of the time or days.

Darn it, just as I put my 100 yen coin into this machine, the guys who run this hostel announced it is lights out time.

Kobe beef dinner in Kobe is like biting into happiness.

I rode a panda bear today!

My back is starting to hurt.

Corn drink is off the fucking hook!

There seems to be a trend of long strip malls that stretch for miles and miles in Japan. We walked down one really long one today.

Mamiko, Brent`s friend who lives in Kobe, is awesome. She helped us find our way around Kobe.

Mike put 1000 yen (10 dollars) into a special quarter machine plastic ball machine that had no sign on what the possible prizes were and we couldn`t read the writing. He got ladies underwear.

There are very few public bathrooms in Japan unless you are in the train stations. I almost peed in my pants today.

Did I mention how delicious Kobe Beef is?

Mike`s dirty socks smell like shit-covered death. My dirty socks mysteriously smell very pleasant, almost like perfume. I have no idea why.

The Kyoto bus line is almost impossible to figure out.

I need to go to bed.

Peace Out!
