Bikes outside the subway station! Lots of people ride them in Japan.... on the footpath! They ride right at you! The technique is to not look at them otherwise they think you've seen them and will jump out of the way!
Drew went nuts with my camera at these Japanese gardens we went to and took some nice shots.
This bus was used at the Aichi Expo near Drew's house. It doesn't require a driver, it finds it's way from some sort of discs that are placed on the road surface. Because it doesn't have a driver, the expo organisers put the mascots in the seats at the front. It would have looked quite funny in motion with 50 people on board being driven around by two green blobs!
Back to the day we were on tv! This was a group of the mascots.... there were about 3 times as many as you see here!
Poor old spermy was down on his luck!
This guy was cool.... I'm not sure what he's sposed to be... maybe an apple?

no idea!! They were interviewed on the tv show that Drew and I made a guest appearance on..... but they didn't say much cos they're mascots!!
sweet driverless bus! I was tellin Cam bout my idea maybe 2 years ago for the same thing on our freeways (he looked at me as if I had 2 heads, looks like he is the loser haha) only problem there is other cars out there! sonar to detect distance between vehicles that can control brakes and accelerator?? would make big trips easy! cruise control that doesn't require any human input :)
I have no hope of making such thing so I will dream on and wait till someone else does and makes a mint out of it! argh! :(
Anyways a quick question, what is the exact date you get back?
The only reason I say is that the slab of coldies will need to be chilled down and also Hogz (sares brother) is turning 18 and considering the fact that the condition he has he should be dead (oldest living with his condition as far as I know) and we are havin a massive party to celebrate.
It is on Saturday the 11th, as far as I know you should be back by then?
Take care on the final leg of your journy to Fiji, awesome place but be careful with all this coup shit goin on!

Hey Nath!! I will be back on the 7th.... which is a Tuesday I believe!
That sounds like a fantastic idea! I am very up for Hogz bday party! and the coldies as well!
I am writing from the Apple store in Ginza, Tokyo.... I just went to the Sony store and saw all the latest stuff from them and fell in love with sony noise cancelling headphones that we sell in Australia for 2.5times the price!
