This weekend...

Yesterday, we went rafting in Kumamoto. Here's a picture of the beginning of the course. It was really fun! It was much more tame than what you probably think of when someone says rafting. There were a few bumpy spots and we took turns sitting at the front when passing through the rough areas. I didn't have time to get a waterproof camera so I just took my disposable since it had a few shots left on it. I put it in a ziplock and put it in my shirt under my life jacket. So those pictures won't be available til I find a scanner. We made a couple stops to jump of a rock in the middle of the Kumagawa River and to swing like Tarzan from a rope in a tree and land in the water. From time to time we jumped/were pushed out of the boat to swim, do flips off the raft, or in other cases we yanked people out of other boats and threw them into the river or flipped their raft over with everyone still in it! It was fun. Then we went to an onsen (public bath) in a hotel...it was nowhere near as nice as the one I went to on Thursday! The tub was wooden and people soaked before they washed their skin. I only stayed in a second b/c the more I sat the more grossed out I became. When we got back here, most of us went to a Yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant where you grill your own meat and veggies at the table...it was good too. I'm finding that nothing really taste bad here (aside from Natto, beer, and raw sea urchin which tastes funky)...I'm going to a potluck tonight so that should be fun.

Now for the foolishness:




This is a mannequin of some guy who wears a cheerleading outfit and advertises something....I don't know what! or why!

Billionaire Boys Club store...I wonder if there are any Billionaire Boys inside....? Justin's response, "No billionaire boyz inside...only ugly overpriced t shirts!"

What...Coach! Wow, thanks Justin. One question though...WHERE'S THE MONEY! Just kidding! Thank you soooo much!

This is officially the flyest dog in Japan and the dog knew it too. I was trying to take a picture of it from the front but this little Diva Dog would not let me. After walking all around it to get the perfect shot, I finally had to settle for a profile! You go girl...or boy?

Ok...so yes this is someone's crotch. Look at his jeans...these are popular here. It's like you're wearing two pairs of jeans. ummmm...ok.


Now what is this man reading on the train?!?!?!
