I actually like Choushi, it feels, smells and looks like an old fashioned English Seaside Resort. This morning I was going to take the early train, but decided to hang around for a bit and walked down the long main street that leads to the sea. It was hot, but unlike most places in Japan, there was a really nice breeze which just felt so nice! So I hung around by the sea for a bit, then headed back to the oldy-worldy station and set off for Narita airport. Mind you Chiba seems to have the least frequent running train system in Japan! And if you ever have to fly to Chiba then I’d recommend Haneda as Narita is packed and if you have a non-Japanese looking face everyone tries to speak to you in the most unintelligible excuse for English you could imagine – and this is Japan’s major international airport. Right, gotta work harder to get everyone speaking better!

But anyway it was a good trip and I’m looking forward to an evening off watching the new Harry Potter movie!
