LEE

I am so happy that you had a great time in Japan! I'm very glad that you decided to go, and now we'll have to reminisce about it for years to come. Who knows, perhaps we'll both end up in Japan in the future!!

I can't believe you met PJS, or that you found a table tennis club! The random crazy s*** that happens is always the best :P

Catch you soon, Lee-sama

Ryan-kun

Why hello Sir Ben, glad you and Gav made it back safely. I had to list you as a favourite as I thought you might read it, and don't worry I'll make sure you're my friend on facebook soon enough!

Mum, I want to bring some green tea home but surprisingly I haven't seen any! Maybe at the airport? Or the sachets in my hotel room?

Just uploaded the final blog, bye Japan!

Eyup Lee,

I just read your blog posts to help me get into my first day back at work after the trip. Good work, I like the writing style.

I'm glad to be listed as a 'favourite' and jealous of your chance encounter with one of my favourite all time footballers!

I searched for you on Facebook, to keep in touch, but in vain.

Safe journey back to blighty!

Ben

Thank you Hazel & Russ :) It's a no go on the girlfriend nobody wants me. I'll do my best regarding the cheap spares but I can't see it.

It was great to talk to you yesterday Mum, tell Dad I reread the Da Flop post and it cracked me up.

Hi Daryl, thanks, how are you? I hear food is one of the more difficult things to get through customs but I'll do my best, at least you're not as awkward as Mark wanting a katana! Bah! If you're forcing me out of my room I might as well stay out here!

Just uploading some photos/blogs for Kyoto, Hiroshima and Miyajima, I'm finally over the jetlag and have a bit more time so the blogs are better :) enjoy

Hi mate hope your having a great time, it sounds like you are! If you can, try to bring me back some fresh rice...it must be better than the crap they serve down new town! p.s our room = my room by the time you get back lol. take care

Arigatou　Ryan-kun, hai hai　Japan subarashi!

Mum,　otenki sugoi!　It's been HOT HOT HOT, too hot the last couple of days but today it's been cloudy and spitting rain,　though still pretty warm. I'm glad it was cooler today because　some of us just　climbed thousands of steps and then got lost in a forest, Ryan you　might　know it; Fushimi Inari in Kyoto where there's hundreds of Torii gates in a row. And yeah I have a couple of photos of the group, I'll upload soon. =) Miss Sam too <3
