our japan honeymoon

so im leaving fukuoka tonite for tokyo, sleeping in the airport and then making my way to bangkok the next morning. but before i leave, me and joolia are going to write a blog together.

were referring to our time together as our honeymoon because all we do is romantic date things. for example: watching the sunset at osaka harbour, strolling along the canal in fukuoka, romantic dinners with long drawn out conversation, massages in bed. theres a lot more because every single day was romantic, but we feel that we dont need to divulge any more information because its private.

were gonna do pointform from now on, because were hungover and lazy.

- things we love about japan:
- boys in kyoto
- japanese yogurt
- man bags
- japanese curry
- karaoke
- the shinkansen bullet train
- totoro stores
- street ramen noodles
- green tea and cherry blossom soft serve ice cream
- heated toilet seats
- train and bus conductor uniforms, complete with white gloves. and bowing.
- plum wine
- convinience stores. particularly family mart and lawsons station.
- being near the ocean, cause it reminds us of home
- the general landscape
- daiso! everything for \100
- fuzzy blankets. practically our hostels have had nice fuzzy warm blankets and we both loooove blankets.
- baskin robbins (particularly mint chocolate chip) and hagen dazs (i know weve listed a lot of food. we love food and have spent roughly half of our money in japan on food. thats kinda gross. weve gotten kinda fat).

so were in fukuoka and yesterday we spent the day in an entertainment complex comprised of 6 buildings and we just shopped our little hearts out. there was yet another totoro store and we tried to leave without buying anything, but we almost cried and had to go back. joolia bought a totoro apron.

yesterday was magical because, whenever we needed something, it would just appear. first being, i really wanted to try a mos burger and we had spent the previous evening wandering around in the cold in hiroshima looking for one, but failed to find one. then in fukuoka, we gave up, and it just appeared. (however, i never ate one.) and then we were looking for atom boy souveniers for my little cousin but couldnt find any. so we decided to give up, and whaddya know, an atom boy store appeared right then and there! (so louise, look forward to getting some shit in the mail soon.) and then we were looking for a place to go to celebrate the end of our honeymoon. wed heard of a place called dark room but couldnt find it. when we decided to give it up, it also just appeared! (it sucked though and we left) oh but most importantly! we wanted to find people to hang out with cause were lonely and the situation seemed dire. but then, we got picked up by the US navy!

so the sailors took us to a club called happy cock which was basically filled with nothing but us, locals and the us navy. sooo, whatever you may think of the us navy, you are right. every single sailor was a total character. for example, there was the black guy who thought he was usher and went gliding around the dance floor picking up skanky japanese girls.　there was the big white boy who went insane when eminem came on and brought it with his intense white boy rapping skills. there was the big brawny hispanic guy who didnt seem too bright up there but was lovely all the same. then there was the white boy who seemed like he came straight of king of the hill. he said stuff like, "one nite, i was stuck in an elevator with a couple of A-RABS who had towels on their heads and tried to kill me". or "russians are evil, a russian girl tried to kill my friend but i saved him by pressing the close button on the elevator". we were slightly appalled by this but really we found it more entertaining than anything. he himself was like "yeah, im a total hick. i hate americans!"

fortunately for me, my date for the nite was a nice boy named matt from missouri. hes very lovely, hated the navy, and took very good care of us for the evening. unfortunately for her, joolia had some boy named leo leached onto her for most of the nite; he was like a fourteen year old boy who said stuff like "in case you didnt notice, im interested in you" which caused joolia to laugh in his face.

by the way, i finally had a sausage mcmuffin. we didnt get home till 6 this morning so i finally was actually awake for mcdonalds breakfast. it was soooo good. i was actually supposed to check out at 11 this morning but it just couldnt happen. however, i managed to roll out of bed around 9 to go ask if i could pay for an extra half a day at the hostel and thankfully i was. we didnt get up till after 1 pm.

now joolia will type away: so this afternoon we wandered, zombie like, downtown to find food. we wanted one of two things. curry or mos burger. we ended up with curry and it sure hit the spot. as you can see, our days revolve around our meals. after we finish one meal, we plan for the next meal. anyway, after lunch, we bought a final souvenir and mailed out the last of our gifts. so now were back at the hostel recuperating. dee leaves for the airport in a couple hours so we will probably sleep (or at least i will sleep as she packs). but i will surely be dreaming about how i will miss her. awwwww....
actually, we have become strangely connected because our dreams always involve each other. every morning we wake up and recount our dreams to each other. i had one with a giant fish that dee insisted she could return to water. and dee had a dream involving antonio banderas, harrison ford, lucy lui as twins, and me of course. my theory is that our dreams always reflect something we saw or talked about that day.

we feel so sorry for whoever is reading this because it doesnt really make sense to anyone but us.

so thats all from us as we end our romantic honeymoon in japan. pictures to come later.
