Heated toilet seat!

Yes they have it all in Japan...it's weird and totally usless (a waste of electricity too) but if you haven't experienced it you know not the pleasure of putting your bum down on a warm toilet seat. Especially when it's a bit nippy outside as it has been here. The seat can also wash your bum and play songs, so that all important first time back at your new beau's house they can only hear the sweet,sweet music and not you doing your business.

Nicola's dream

Suzi sitting on her own at the front of a plane with a big straw hat, a mouse in a cage, a big cake and a huge bouquet of flowers...any ideas what any of this means?

Cakes that taste like grass!

Maybe not grass, maybe peas and brocolli made into a cake.

Japanese food is amazing, Shin is such a good cook and so far I've had gyoza, yaki soba, ramen noodles which were all fantastic. I should also give credit to Col's sandwiches, mashed pots and pasta...but a country without sugar make cakes out of beans! and that's exactly what they taste like with a flavour of grass, brocolli and peas.

So with all the delicious food experince I have also been having fun at the many parks in Kofu with Naoki and brushing up on my football skills.
