COOL STUFF IN JAPAN 23 - “BRIDGE TO TERIYAKIBITHIA” At one point during our Japan adventure we took a five hour train ride from Kochi to Kyoto. As the train chugged along we passed through several breathtaking wintery landscapes, yet I only took two pictures due to the wretched motion sickness that has cursed me since birth (thanks mom). Anyway, as soon as I took this picture I felt like I was for sure going to vomit, so I dropped my head down between my knees and prayed for mercy. At some point I passed out and had the following dream nightmare… We were driving past this bridge in slow motion and I asked Vicki’s dad to translate the sign. He told me that it read “Chicken Teriyaki is on the other side of this bridge”. I screamed for the train to stop but it just kept chugging along as I watched my one chance at Chicken Teriyaki slowly fade away. Once I could no longer see the bridge I looked down and goldfish started floating out of my backpack and I wondered how they were breathing. I then realized that the train was full of water and thus wondered how I was breathing. I suddenly began gasping for air and woke up. Anyway, that dream bothered me the rest of my trip. While the drowning aspect was indeed terrifying, it was missing out on the Chicken Teriyaki that truly haunted the depths of my soul.

PEOPLE OF AMERICA IN JAPAN 02 - “VICKI STOLE MY COZY WINTER CAP” As I mentioned in an earlier post, Kochi Castle was basically a freezing popsicle stand in the form of a castle. As I was hopping around in my frozen tube socks attempting to avoid a sure case of hypothermia, Vicki somehow mustered up the nerve to ask me to let her borrow my cozy winter cap. Obviously I responded with a firm “Hell no woman, get your own damn cozy winter cap!”. She quickly retaliated with her own version of the sad panda face and my heart immediately melted. During this fleeting moment of warmth I was bamboozled into giving up my cozy winter cap. Damn you Vicki and your “sad panda face” trickery! Also, I do indeed realize that this shot is a bit crooked, likely due to my frost bitten fingers. I guess I could fix it in post but who has time for that when you have to write a stupid story about every single picture you post.
