Yo guys!!
Been a while since I updated, I've been way too busy digging for big stones in my back garden so I can sell 'em in order to afford my trip to Japan...which is finally set in motion! woo. Will be headin' out on the 4th with a random mate from Focus who I conned into quitting in order to have a travel companion.hahaha. Unluckles Focus, they've just lost like 6 employees over the past week...no fault of mine I might add! lol. Well, actually it was me who got the ball rolling in a few peoples cases..but that's to be kept on the sly in case I need a job when I get back. ho ho.
So anyways, I'm sticking around for a month so hopefully I'll get to travel a bit round Japonland and get to renshu suru my Japanese a tod...which definately needs the practice!!! Apart from that plannin' that, I been working my legs off trying to save up some capital, playing a bit of geetar in prep for next year when me and chris make it big, and going to see bands! woo. Went to the download festival last week...was fucking awesome, camping in a sketchy tent, suffering from hayfever, shitting in a trough, watching loads of bands and getting fucking wasted! what could be better eh! heh heh.
I'll try update this shitty blog again soon, I just have a bit of a lack of time to spare atm! lol
Take care minna-san. I'll speak soon eh!
Ja mata!!
(wow this blog was actually informative!)

no idea yet matey, im hoping to find some cheapo places ta stay. lol. know of any in the area?
Yeah...sleep in Ueno Zoo...you wont look out of place with the monkeys haha
...and the dossers...
No, just kiddin' man... :-)
Yeah, i do mate. Cheapest would be a dorm probably sharing a bedroom with other guys which would porbably be from around 40,000 Y, p/m. £200
You can get a room for around 50,000Y p/m 250 depending on where u wanna be??
www.tokyonoticeboard.co.jp
and
metropolis.co.jp are good places to look. I could scan through for u and help u out in regards to better locations if u want??
yeah if ya would that'd b wicked cheers Jim! also, I'm comin ova with one of me mates so do ya think a shared room'd be pretty cheap?
Let me know the dates ok, cos i wont have that much net access when i move in with the bint!
okie dokie, well I arrive in Narita airport on the 5th of July at 9:40 and staying til the 1st of August. If y'are around ya' should come greet us.lol.No worries if ya' busy tho. Planning to stay in Tokyo for a few weeks at least then mebbe head to another part of Japan. Have to see how things go anyways and just wing it. heh heh
U do realise how far the airport is from Tokyo:P, that's like saying i am coming to Liverpool, can you meet me over in Bolton.
Will check for places for u tho
Get a bike then. Ain't all that far, lol...
I just figured it was nearby:P hahaha wicked, that makes my adventure all the more exciting! gonna av to mission it into Tokyo! I'll avta work on my direction asking terminology then.Tokyo wa doko desu ka? hahaha maybe that'll work. ...or maybe I'll catch the train, what with my ryoga directional ability, bern. lol
Haha, yeah.
Just take care that you don't end up way up in Sendai, asking yourself 'where the heck am I'... lol
Personally I'd recommend taking the 'limousine bus' from Narita Airport to Tokyo Eki - runs every 20 mins or so and is airconditioned, a nice feature for the muggy Julies in Tokyo.
If I remember right, the ticket booth is when you head to the exit of Tokyo Airport on the left. The platform then's just out the exit.
A simple 'Tokyo Eki he no kippu wo nimai kudasai' should do...
2 tickets should be around 6000 Yen, that's about 30 Pounds.
And... Germany's in the semi finals!!! Yes!!!
cheers bern, that's gonna' come in handy! whats the limousine bus called in japanese btw? so I know what I'm asking for..
Seems my dads being a gay and not gonna' lend me any money...even though I'm good for it....so I'm only gonna' av around a grand. Ya' reckon that'll be enough for a month, Jim? gonna' go sell some games on monday, try and get a bit more. lol. Anyways, Speak to ya' guys soon, gonna' go practice some useful phrases. lol
As far I know it's called 「リムジンバス」. Very Japanese, eh? lol
A grand for four weeks? Does that include the flight? If it does you'll have to be a hell of a scrooge. Hell, you'd have to beat me!!
btw, if ya wanna know how it was for me to arrive in japland for the first time, see http://bernieinjapan2004.blogspot.com/
fuck the bus mate, you'll end up getting lost.
Catch either the keisei train, or the narita express from the airport to the centre of Tokyo for like a tenner or so.
I recommened the Narita Express though, a bit pricey but it will be quick and get you to Shinjuku (Tokyo's train hub) in no time.
You don't want another mission after that long flight, trust me.
I learned a new phrase also, Mura Mura suru. Is to get 'well' horny. :D
Use at will..
a 1000 for four weeks, including accom? and you also wanna travel?
I don't think you will get far with that mate. I think you won't be able to get far out of Tokyo with that mate.
I'm spending 30 quid a week just on trains to work and so. I am spending around 100 or so a week, and i don't even need to pay rent and am working. :P goodluck
good. if you take the narita express you definitely can't get lost...
dude, when I went, a grand lasted me 10 days! So if you were count that as the "excursiony touristy" bit of ur hol...ya gonna need a damn site more dough to live! I reccomend whoring yourself to business men.
Oh by the way, get a Japan Rail Tourist Pass Death Device ( i cant reember what its called) It costs just over a hundred, and it gives you like unlimited travel on JR rail lines for like a week or more (cant remember). But its really good value. You can even use it on some bullet trains. It'll save you stacks of money if you go on travels for a few days in one lump.
Bring me back some Pocky, wont you?!
too late geez we`re already there! lol/ Jim for your info we`re staying in nishi kawaguchi atm in some sketchy hostel!lol/ Cheap as chips tho/ Reckon ya: could email me ya` number? so I can get in touch with ya`.lol. cheers matey!
lol, btw chris the place we`re stayin is only a tenner a night, so i reckon we might just make it! lol. im having fun practicing my poor jmu acquired language tho...be it in yakuza territory! hahaha
