« « New Address| Geek » »A Note from Zaini
My last day in Japan today, on to Malaysia tomorrow. Tokyo is a crazy place a bit hard to get around at the start what with the completly different aplhabet and what seems like a million different train companies doing the same job as the metro in New York, I was spoilt.
Boulder was good too, went up the Rocky mountains and played around in 44 inches of snow by a frozen lake. I think I would turn into a proper hippy hillwalker if I lived there. Also went to the hotel where they shot the shinning, or maybe it was just writen there or based on that hotel or just the exteriors were shot there…. I dont know. it was being renovated and facts were a bit hazey. But I went to a hotel that had something to do with the shinning. Cool.
Back to Japan. Am staying in what seems to be the smallest room in the biggest hotel in Tokyo. Its massive it has a 10 screen cinema and an IMAX theatre, 9 indoor tennis courts, an 80 lane bowling alley and two wedding chapels. Its mad expensive here I paid 25000 yen to go to the cinema last night, thats a bit under 25 euro and 900 yen for a pint of Guinness, but it was better than most of the Guinness I got in New York! There is a lot of bowing going on here Ruairis music video has nothing on this.
Now back to New York.I will not be posting an entry due to time restrictions what with traveling around the world and everything and also for fear of the heavily edited version which might make it to the blog. All I will say is that Anthony covered most things pretty well appart from the wierd and wounderful things that go on in Korean Karaoke bars. I have photos and will be accepting writen requests for the negatives, for sale to the highest bidder. Anthony would you like to start the bidding? Ill say no more, but I cant get `Ive Never been to me` out of my head either.
Enough cruelty, I had a briliant time in New York. I have been there twice before and Anthony managed to show me a completly new side of it. He was a great host Id recomend it to any fan of the blog who wants to meet all its stars. Just be aware of Anthonys insane need to be on time for things!
Thank you and Go Anthony!

And my bid for the negatives starts at ten years of friendship, with two and a half years of sharing a flat, and a week of free accomodation in New York thrown in >sniffle<.

By the way that is 2500 yen not 25000 for the cinema. Looks like you might get the negs yours is the best bid yet. I had better get out of this air conditioned room and go and be a tourist.
