Kobe

So here l am after a very simple japanese style dinner, half boiled broccoli and carrot with somen (very thin noodles that u eat with tsuyu ... allright, when u'll come here u'll see) and some mayonnaise with tarako and ... ok but what happend after Arashiyama?
Nothing much, just had a meeting with a sweet woman in kobe area and l slept with her ... l mean l slept in her house ... and she was sweet because when we were having great conversations we weren't getting each other much ... LOL ... my english for her was funny and her english for me was even more funny!!! so for about 80% af the talking was like exchanging gibberish!!! and the most amazing thing for me was: just arrived at her station we went immediately to some restaurant and we weren't hungry in the first place, and the restaurant was small and full and l had a BIG bag ... the owner came out and said that we had to wait for about 30 minutes and if we had to eat there, the bag might have been better if l was to leave it outside because no space for it ...
AOH???
So l asked to Y "your home is close by?" ... "yeah" ... "then lets go there to put my bag away and come back since we have 30 min..." "nooo we better wait" "but l dont wanna leave my bag outside the shop while we eat ..." "no problem, we are in japan, nobody will steal ur bag" "l know l know ... it is not the stealing point. lt is just that l cannot eat relaxed knowing that an unobserved bag is outside ... u can eat with joy because u dont give a shit about my bag.
otherwise we go some other restaurant u recommend..." "l'm recommending this one"

well guys the story goes on and as ya all know very well, when a woman say a thing ... end of story! but l managed to convince her to bring the bag at home!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!!!
Then we had a nice dinner, a nice gibberish time and then the next morning first thing was to leave again, yeah just one night in one place ... l like the saying "just 1 night and then move on".
ln that morning l bought the famous 18KIPPU to travel on, it was cheap and didn't have any hurry and moreover it was a chance to see different places with its local peoples ... certainly each place has its own flavor.
But l had to book a seat for the night train, MOONLIGHT KYUSHU. so guess what?
didn't see any beautiful flavored places from SANNOMIYA to KYUSHU!!!
because from where l was staying to go to south kyushu to the friends place ... was a looong way to do it in a day ... had no choice but to travel at the night.
l PUT the ticket in the pocket because it was no time to use and went in another area of kobe for 2 night and 3 days. l finally cooked spaghetti in the house where l was staying but couldn't cook more than twice because the kitchen was unbilievable dirty!!! lets not talk about this and don't dare to ask me how dirty it was uh!!! ...REALLY DIRTY!!!
2 days and sho` sho` chalom baba.
Had an interesting meeting with another friend that was living near by and visited sannomiya city and the port of kobe ... now, sannomiya, l loved it.
Usually l dont like much the city (HELLO! l'm living in tokyo) but sannomiya had a beauty of its own ... yeah l could live there ... just a cool place.
