5pmish - at Marina's in Tsu, instant oatmeal with mushrooms, what an appealing serving suggestion.

4.20pm - the pool, I read on another JET blog that Japanese people are very suspicious of lurid food colouring, so sports drinks here are not bright green or red but clear, and here is the proof - clear sports drink.

2.45pm - Daruma dera in Suzuka. Kitagawa sensei took us to this temple which is dedicated to the daruma doll. You sit in lotus position and think your wish to the doll and when it comes true you fill in the blank eye. In this picture you can see that most of the dolls have two eyes, this means that their owners wish came true and so they have been returned to the temple to await ceremonial burning. This Wikipedia article has more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daruma

9pm - Yokkaichi, it's tofu chan the Christmas elf, how festive.

2.30 pm Men's World , on a main street in Yokkaichi - there seems to be a quite different attitude to porn here than there is at home. It makes me furious and also makes ne wish that women here would get more angry about feminist issues.
