good morning. on our way back from chiba, we did some sightseeing. we checked out one of the most famous crack house in japan. this is where Aya, from Heaven’s Coins lived. magic? what does that mean?
drugs is a big deal in japan. if you get caught using it, or selling it, your screwed. the police doesn’t need a search warrant to rampage your house. all they need is a phone call from somebody saying you do drugs and they will be all over you. then you go to jail for a long time. here is the tv crew waiting outside of noriko sakai’s house. the police won’t leave you alone, and so won’t the media…
yesterday was such a beautiful day at torami. i couldn’t resist jumping in the water to catch a few waves. i caught 2 and felt 20 times better. but my shoulder felt 20 times worst after… oh well…
i was at HIC the other day and as soon as i walked in, i saw someone familiar. it was kelia moniz. well, a poster of her. it’s one of my dreams to bring the real kelia to japan so everybody can meet her. and everybody can stop sending me hundreds of emails asking when she’s coming…. stay tuned….
Crack House….
Magic Mountain…
staying near mt. fuji, you can feel the magic. everywhere you turn, this huge mountain is right in front of you. i took this photo from miles and miles away but it feels like your right there. it’s pretty magical….
driving around, you see and meet the nicest people. this grandpa and grandma working on a field probably 365 days a year for the past 50 years…
and the cool things you see. this is mochi getting ready for grilling. oishi sou….
this, i couldn’t resist. i ate one and it was the best fish on a stick i’ve ever eaten. 500 yen or $5. worth every bone….
and last, if you don’t think this place is magical, i don’t know what to tell you. that’s not a mirror, it’s a lake… on a clear day, mt. fuji will be right between the trees. i’m not giving up until i get that shot. and when my shoulder gets better, i’m going to do a blog from the top of mt. fuji…..
**by the way, the big earthquake there last week was the biggest in 65 years. toda-san told me that i was lucky to experience it. i thought he was joking. but he wasn’t… i’m still a little traumatized…
