Part one of the day`s done, and success! I`ve got a chinese single entry visa and a boat confirmation from the ferry people to get there. It`s all falling into place now, plus a lad who did the boat trip in reverse has given me his China rough guide book so thats saved me a few pennies as well. Only the one moment of panic today when i arrived in Osaka and read on the back of my pick up receipt that it had to be collected between 9 and 12, and seeing as it was 5 to 12 as i was walking through Osakas underground, i had to get a move on. But anyway that`s all dealt with now and the fact i got it for 24 quid rather than the 60+ that it would of cost me back home, so doubly happy at the moment.I`m on my way to the 2nd part of my day now, and a chance to check out japans oldest and biggest remaining castle, hopefully there`s a cool looking picture of the place under here by the time you read this....
Dam it, should of kept my mouth shut about the good picture, i tried, but it was really difficult to get anything that properly showed it off, for a start it was huge, far bigger than i expected but you can only see it from either quite away away, as shown by the pictures, or right under it, as the view leading towards it is blocked by little alleyways. It`s well worth a look though, it might just not look it from the photos that`s all :( Inside it was all dark wood and had a really old heavy feel to everything. You`ve got no shoes on, like all places in japan there left at the entrance. So you get to creep round Bruce lee style. It actually reminded me of that place at the beginning of batman begins. A good day in all, back off to Kyoto now to find some place to eat and drink for the night. Pants are already becoming a little slacker round the waist, so think i need to eat a wee bit more before going to China, were no doubt i`ll then get extremely fat indulging on cheap food.
Welcome,
to yet another travel blog!
This is the second time I’ve wrote this intro thing. I wrote one trying way too hard to sound the way I wish I could write. The truth is though, since my GCSE’s I haven’t had to do any proper writing what-so-ever. I did all art A-level as well as an art degree and now work as a graphic designer.
Hopefully it turns out alright, I’m going to try to update as much as possible and if you need to email me privately I’ll be checking my mails every week or so, so just click the mail button above. If the writing becomes too painful then you can go straight to all the photo’s from the "Pictures" link at the top, as will all my videos.
Cheers to anyone who ends up reading this, although I’m sure it’ll become a spam paradise of abuse from friends and work colleagues..cya all in a year or so :D
