So life in Japan has been swell for me. I had a nice day trip to a mountain village with a 1200 year old tradition. Where men jostle and shove each other in a special kind of underwear to be the first to pray to a god of wealth and war. While there I got to see people carry large candles where if you got close you could see the wax on their skin. Ouch, yet also quite nice on the skin. I like to put wax on my skin cause it always felt nice after. But back to the festivities, I ate some wonderful food, some seafood, some flavored potatoes and even some deep fried cheese sticks. All delicious foods to have. I enjoyed the sites too, some swell looking guys too. hehe, I guess that's the gay side of me. looking at guys hairless chest haha. ^^ Sorry, I know im taken. I hope my friends and others enjoy these journals of my exploits in Japan. I hope to post more as I travel around.
