Tadaima!!!
wow...that was an awesome weekend! ( I really gotta stop saying awesome...). A bunch of us all went to Hakone for the weekend to celebrate Amy's birthday. Ross (her slave/boyfriend :p ), organised this entire thing as a surprise 2 months beforehand. It was really sweet. So we all set off at 9 in the morning on saturday. There was 16 of us in total. It was quite a bit colder in Hakone and also quite grey...we took some pictures on the viewing platforms. There was this great fake pirate ship!! We then went to this reconstructed Edo period outdoor museum. It was actually where the original checkpoint was for japanese citizens citizens to cross over to Tokyo. They had some damn cruel punishments for people that tried to avoid the checkpoint. The men would be crucified and beheaded and the women would have their heads shaved and sold in to slavery. It was rather scary. We then went in to a few other museums, and made various photostops. After that we got on to the pirate ship to sail to the otherside of the town where our hostel was. It was sooo cold! But really great! Our hostel was a sweet little traditional place. We all slept on futons and had to be girl/boy separated. The owners were very nice to us and tried their best to speak english too. We all decided to go off for food in this yakitor place. I felt a little sorry for the little old couple that ran the restaurant. As there was basically this attack of 16 loud /drunk gaijins and there was also a karaoke machine there. So it was singing/drinking/eating (when food eventually would come.....). We continued these shenanigens till roughly 5 in the morning in the hostel.....but in the hostel it was more about throwing a sticky ear around and throwing balloons at each other. At around 11 at night we all sang happy birthday to Amy and had strawberry cake. Then it was present opening time. It was a very cool night.
