Looky looky,...tickets to a live show at Zepp Nagoya, one of the city's medium to small sized live venues,...who would be playing such a pokey small joint? Obviously no one famous,...
With some new friends, Matsumoto san, Tama Chan, and Mori San,..Tama Chan and I share the exact same birthdate, while Mori san shares the same birthday. We met via twitter and decided to get together to celebrate our days!
The March 16 edition of Tokai Walker magazine is out now...
Inside, I get a few pages to wander about the castle town of Kiyosu, just north west of Nagoya in my Samurai Armour and check out a few historical spots....
One of Nagoya's top Voice Talents, Ueda San also puts on stage shows a few times each year. His latest production, Prison Kitchen, is a comedy about 2 guys who work in the prison kitchen, and involves real cooking as part of the show. Ueda San also teaches at the PPF Radio DJ School, holding training sessions once a month there.
In Japan, the girls give the guys choccies on Valentines day, and in reciprocation, the guys give
After a high speed open jeep drive from Club Med to a secret jungle location (ie, I don't remember where) ....
Where we did some Thai jungle survival cooking,...which sounds more exciting than saying we learned the most simple of Thai salads to make...
Anyway, I put a bit of muscle into squashing some strange looking vegetables together,...
...before mounting an elephant for a trek thru the jungle! The jungle was great, everything was green, the air was clear, the sky was blue, the sun was hot and bright...just hope my companion doesn't get elephant sick...
The elephant trek was fun, and I reckon if I'd thought ahead and filled a bottle with milk, by the end of the trip, with the heat and the swaying back and forth, we would have had a nice piece of cheese.
We then pulled into an elephant stop and ran the ptachyderms thru' the elephant wash
At the end of the elephant trek was a monkey show and an elephant show too.... this clever monkey has learned to ride a bike. I wish I had learned that skill too....
The elephant show was interesting too
Volunteering to take part in these shows always provides a rewarding experience. Getting an elephant foot massage was fun, and surprisingly, the elephants foot was softer than i would have imagined.....
Then I found a great reason never to volunteer..."Roll over," they said, and once I did, they stuffed a couple of bananas up my shorts....
And then I was groped by a hungry elephant looking for bananas up my shorts.....
Now there's a trunk shaped elephant snot mark in an embarassing place on my shorts....
Club Med offers all sorts of activities,...thought I'd try a few out, including Circus Acrobat...
Next morning I took a look around Phukett's Club Med,...the main area pool was huge...this is only half of it!!
The grounds were beautiful,...this is the view from my room...
Opening towards the pool, the bar was huge, and open all day, and free too!!
Behind it all was this great beach,...the water was quite warm and refreshing,...
...and the staff were really friendly! This is the boss, Ryan being interviewed for the special program March 22!
