Jan. 18th, 2009 11:41 pmKanazawa was awesome, but I'm too tired to write about it. Besides which, I still have last weekend in Shizuoka to write about, don't I?
So for now, I'll just leave you with a few travel tips:
- If you walk around town with a giant umbrella, it's pretty much guaranteed that the rain will stop within twenty minutes.
- JR overheats its trains like crazy, so layer as much as possible so that you can take things off when (not if, when!) you start to melt.
- When you have a ten-hour train ride, a great way to pass the time with a friend is to make up a story.
More specifically, Becca and I... birthed an entire tennis team. We're both of the opinion that the north doesn't get enough love (and also we were maybe still high from running around in ACTUAL SNOW last night), so we decided that what Prince of Tennis needs is a team from Hokkaido! We spent the last four hours or so on the train -- seriously, what else were we going to do?! -- making up our team, complete with names, birthdays, families, favourite subjects and foods, and of course their super sparkly (winter sports/snow-related) moves! We may or may not have scared our fellow passengers with our crazy giggling. *the very picture of innocence*
So, because every team needs a gay doubles pair, our D1 are a pair of figure skaters. They're my babies, andI'm busy making I've already made up a whole backstory for them. <3 Maybe they were already living in my mind somewhere, because I was way too inspired about them:
Becca: So, what's Kazuya's favourite f--
Me: ORANGE SMOOTHIES!
Becca: ... O_O
Me: He loves orange smoothies! 8D
Becca: *writes it down, looking kind of scared*
Me: He wants to be a fashion designer. He decorates jeans and t-shirts and makes Shingo wear them! And Shingo does, even though they're all sparkly and Be-Dazzled, just because Kazuya asked him to. ^_^
Oh, and Doubles 2? Are a bobsled team. XDDD
