my knee says its going rain on thursday...

morning all.
quick note.
my mum and dad came and said a cheery hello over the last 10 days. we threw them on a plane out of Hiroshima airport on sunday after fun-filled days and sake-filled nights celebrating the best 30 years of their lives. i'll post piccies soon.
highlights included; beer, introducing them to my old host family for the first time, antique shopping binges, sake, strolling in the Japanese wilderness, backing into a wall, more sake, the mayor of my city giving them tickets to see kabuki at a 1600 year old stage on a sacred island shrine (!!), whipping them at rulos game, watching mum, dad and nic running across a national highway taking pictures of rice paddies because the light was "just right" and then backing into a wall, birthday goodtimes, hanging with the biggest wooden buddha dude in Japan and bunches of other stuff.
on a slightly odder note:
i was informed yesterday amid much giggling that one of the female workers in the city hall follows me when i walk past her because i "smell the best out of everyone in the building"...
...this scares me.

yours, smelling "stalker-tastic" and looking over his shoulder,

berin.
