Will's tour diary - What? Why? When? Where? - Shows - Seminars
Tuesday Nov 21st 2000
I am embarassed to admit it, but we went
back to Friendly family restaurant! We needed
a place to work on our computers, they have
a drink bar, and we didn't fancy driving
around forever in Kyoto traffic (note to
tourists - DO NOT visit Kyoto by car if you
actually plan on seeing anything more than
the taillights of other cars). Coincidentally
there was an all-you-can-eat lunch bar too.
Mid way through the afternoon we set out for Osaka, to meet with an Australia teacher called Steve, and to meet my old girlfriend Junko so as to claim back my snowboard, which has languished in her house since we parted ways back in February.
We met in Senrichuo, in the north of Osaka,
in a fantastic shopping mall (we are from
rural Ehime remember). Steve was waiting
for us in.....Mr Donuts. A friendly Australian
(aren't we all?) He amused us immensely by
asking if Richard and I were gay, to which
Richard replied that in the Daily Yomiuri
the word "business" should have
preceeded the word "partner". Steve
pointed out that the fact we were running
around the country together, teaching in
a flamboyant fashion whilst wearing bright
yellow t-shirts had also made him wonder.
He checked out the Genki English CDs and
immediately bought both of them!
My snowboard? No answer on Junko's phone despite speaking to her the previous day. Not very impressed.
Dinner. "Tekonochin" okinomiyaki
restaurant, on Route 17 in Mino City. While
we waited to be seated we were given a menu,
and ordered. Then we were directed to a table
where we waited more than 30 minutes for
our okinomiyaki. I could have forgiven the
time delay had the okinomiyaki been of gargantuan
proportions, but it was more along the lines
of barely adequate. Delicious, but in the
time we had waited my appetite had grown.
We found another Mr Donuts. It was 10.15 so I sent Richard inside to see what time it was open until. He returned grinning - 1am! Fortune had smiled on us again.
Stayed until closing, then we found a parking lot to crash for the night.
