karaoke, cocktails and new friends!

well, i cant possibly do justice to the weekend i have just had in the 8 minutes i have on here. and especially not at 6.20 in the morning, which is the time right now! we are getting the train to nagoya today to visit toyota and then on to kyoto tonight.

i have quite possibly just had the best weekend of my life- we have been taken out by 8 of the mitsui graduate employees, not spent a cent, and done things including karaoke, dinner at a ninja restaraunt, visited tokyo university or a university festival(fabulous) and visited shibuya and harajuka- the young cool districts of tokyo (well 2 of them anyway). we also visited odaiba apparently the best "date spot" in tokyo..... there was an amusement park there, and what was, before the london eye, the biggest ferris wheel in the world. absolutely beautiful!

our guides were absolutely fanatastic and i am sure that i have made some close friends amongst them. mpes if you are reading this- you guys rule. i hope to catch you again later in the trip.

well gotta go! will write more soon from kyoto!
"To be a citizen does not mean merely to live in society, but to transform it. If I transform the clay into a statue I become a Sculptor; if I transform the stones into a house I become an architect; if I transform our society into something better for us all, I become a citizen" Augusto Boal
