Nagasaki

Went to Nagasaki on Saturday with Marcos. The journey started at 6:15am from my house...It was way too early for my liking, but "apparantely" the drive was suppose to take 7hours (according to Jap friends) Since it was only going to be a day trip, we thought we'll start early. Drove to Nagasaki with Marcos asleep next to me ( bastard :p) Got there by 10:15. Don't ask and don't even go there. Yes, I am a bit fast on the road, but it was all good.
It was relatively warm that day...thought it was going to be a bright sunny day...turned out to be the worst day, it rained the whole time we were there. All my photos were bleak and grey...but did get some really good pics. Went to the Atomic Bomb memorial centre and the Peace Park. It was very sombre. Bit depressing. But, totally cheered up when we went to CHINATOWN. It was good, had lunch there...best spring rolls (harumaki) YUMMY!!! Got home at 11:00pm, not too bad.

Sunday, I attended mochisuki...kekee...used this HEAVY, big wooden pounder thing...it was very interesting and very Japanese. The kids were having a ball and it was great to see all these parents there. The community spirit is very high here. Made me miss my family...boohoo.. but it's all good! I get to see them in 19 days...I'm going to Taiwan, I'm going to Taiwan...woohoo

I had the BEST Korean food on Friday. Absolutely devine I tell ya. It is one of my favorite places to eat now.
