things i like about japan (redux)

[adelaidesean]

Given the relative imminence of Japan's first worldcon, I thought I'd dust off my old weblog of the time I spent in Nagoya for anyone curious about what might be in store for them. I've trimmed it a little, to reflect changed circumstances, but it's much as I originally wrote it. Brought back memories, too. I am hungry now for cake.

Bean kit kats? No way! I have to try me one of those. (I thought I was safe with a kit kat in America. I was very badly mistaken.)

And godzilla fish! Do you remember the name of the place at all? I think I'd go out of my way for godzilla fish.

Sadly I can't remember the name of the place. I could probably take you there, though. Shall we arrange to meet up in Nagoya some time next year? :-)

And yes, the bean Kit Kats were real. They might even have been green, although my memory on that point is a little hazy now, over a year later. I wish I'd taken a photo. And of the Godzilla fish sculpture. D'oh!

Yes please! Nagoya slots in perfectly with the loop from Tokyo to Naruto and back to Kamakura. Feel like climbing Mt Fuji with me? ;] Though the Godzilla fish sculpture sounds worrying.

Mt Fuji? Absolutely! I'll be in touch as soon as I've decided whether I can go or not. I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed.

You have decided you can go. *old jedi mind trick*
