Earthquake in Japan today. 7 on the Richter scale, so pretty big. Not in Tokyo! Seen it on TV looked pretty bad until they cut to a supermarket where they had a couple of broken jars on the floor which suspiciously looked like they had been set up for the camera.


Went to a French bakery, we made a deal to buy the weirdest thing they had. I won obviously. The winner was a flat bread, pink and filleted fish shape, it was also fish flavoured. Never again, ate it though. You only live once.

Watched this sick japans kid toy car building race thing. They build these little cars and the race them on a fixed track, the kids took it so serious had little tool boxes for tuning their “wheels” up.

Baseball is huge. Went to a computerised batting/pitching cage. Quit amazing. A pitcher appears on the screen troughs the ball and wherever his hand is is were the ball comes from (bad explanation I know).

Finished training today.
Got some Japanese snacks, was feeling adventurous after the fish bread. So I got a bag of nuts and tinny dried fish mixed up. Marie nearly vomited, they tasted ok actually; didn’t finish the whole bag though.
