In my usual fashion, just a quick one...
We got in to japan this evening after almost 12 hours of flying time...
My butt is shockingly sore... even with all the padding...
Weighed myself before we left for the airport... let's just say "Heavy Evvy"...
But by the time we've finished with europe, i'll be slimmer ... well i hope so anyway!!

sorry to all about not having a bit of a fling before we left, but time was a bitch on the lead up to departure so didn't happen... :(

we just had some of the best ramen in my life...
probably cos i haven't had decent ramen in the last three years, but all i craved was a good steaming bowl as soon as we landed...
had to wait till midnight... but it was DAMN WORTH IT!!!!

It was a garlic ramen shop and they had cloves of garlic on the counter with a garlic crusher (a good solid stainless steel one that I'd be proud to sell at Cookaholics!) and you could add as much or little as you wanted! Three cloves later with some sesame seeds and a bit of pickled ginger and i was in ramen heaven!! if you ever find yourself on the keio line get off at horinouchi station and look for Ramen Ninnikuya...

well this is getting longer and longer and we have to hit the sack so i'll say Oyasumi Nasai!!
