This Is It

Yo fellas! guess who is that guy on the rock? ... uh? ... YEAH thats me par excellence!
at that time l was around 2~3 yrs old and l was already climbing in the mountains?! yes l'm a mountain boy and l love more the mountain than the sea ... l mean l love both for its different qualities but the mountain ... ... ... ... ... ... ok so l better finish with this trip and l feel this post is the last one, about the south japan odyssey of course, what will happen with this blog afterward l dunno ... lets see ... l'm also curious heheeee but l never thought that l would finishing it exactly at the end of the year! it is just too marvelous!!! ALAS read on:

So after my pizza and lunch and a good farewell to everyones, with a friend that was there with us, actually he was living down on the coast and so he offered to bring me to the station near by his place to catch the train and so we were gone!
You know, l told u that l had a special ticket and so l was planning to catch the night train but needed to reserve the seat and so l went to reserve the seat (yes at the last minute and l'm not ideot 'cos it had to happen like this) but the station master told me that it was full!!! what a fuck?
a did a little italian drama pleasing him to let me at least stand in the between the compartments ... nain, impossible ... and what to do? the friend that brought me to the station was telling me some suggestions and one was such as to go back to pizza people ... nonono gone is gone there is no going back ... and it was not possible to stop at his place and ok ... and what l did? l just took the train and went on anyway ... at the most l would stop somewhere in the middle in some hotel for the night, also because my special ticket had tha last 2 possible trip and therefore it was perfectly ok ... and so while traveling back and l saw that in just a mere 2 hours l would reach in Kobe and so like a flash it came to me to ask to one friend, that l met when l was in Kobe, if l could stop at her place just to sleep and that l would pay her a good dinner outside and then in the following morning l would take the first train ... and so l sent a mail on her cellular and for quite a good 1 hour l got no answer and l knew that she was working but was going to finish soon and funny thing is ... l was feeling sooooo in a letting go with the river of the train on the railroad bringing me on the right spot at the right time without any worries of any kind ... in fact she mailed me back just half an hour before l reached to the station that l had to change the train ... fiuuuuuuu just in time uh?! and YES she said ... cool!
We met around dinner time and she told me that she had a plan to meet a couple of sannyasins female friends to eat out and my sudden coming was just more than perfect for the situation and so we went to eat out with everyone in one restaurant in a nice corner outside on the "terrace" ... and wonder of wonders, just after then another 2 sannyasins came just next to our table and it was just a pure coincidence ... 'cos one of them was the one that rented to me the room when l was in Kobe ... WOOOW we never thought to meet in such situation and she was with a friend that we knew each other because of pune in ashram ... in fact she told me "l feel like to be in ashram LOL!!!!" ... yeah amazing.
But the most beautiful thing is yet to come ... hehe ... when everybody went home and it was time to go to sleep ... l asked to pass by to the JR station that was a little bit of walk to check about the next morning first train and so we went there and got the info ... before l go on l must tell u that when l went in the room of Purna, the one with the YES, her room was like my room ... l mean even worse ... just imagine u go in and as u close the door what u see is just a 70 cm of corridor and fat 50cm with the bathroom on the right (forget the kitchen ... almost inexistent) and then the bed (always on the right side) and so where l would sleep? of course on the floor but with nothing of nothing (l would have arranged with my things anyway) and it was already great that she allowed me to stay there and l was also happy to meet her again 'cos we could stay well together ... l mean we could understand each other and so what happened after we checked the time for the first train? while going back to her place going by the other way ... on the left we found a brand new mattress!!! the one that cost even 400$ and it was BRAND NEW!!! we could not believe ours eyes!!! and also with under mattress iron structure bed ... and it was garbage.
but we checked very very very good and without doubt it was really new and never used ...
WOW still now l cannot believe it!!!! can you? think about it: suddenly l ask to a friend to stop for an overnight sleep and she said YES knowing perfectly well that she had nothing to make me comfortable and in such small room (actually the smallest l ever saw) and ... l get the new mattress to sleep comfy? TELL ME IF IT IS TRUE!!!!
We looked around to understand how it was possible and we found that near by there was a model room show (the ones they build just to show to the potential clients what the replica of the building, house, rooms ect might be) and therefore they threw away this bed that wasn't needed anymore 'cos the show room was finished (but hey, they paid to throw it away ... meaning that they called the garbage people to pick it up the next day ...) and we got it before them LOLOLOL
... WOW and the funniest thing was that the mattress was fitting perfectly well on the floor (actually occupied all the space available) and l slept well! you bet!
Existence really take care if we are in a letting go ;)

Ok guys this is it.
ln the next morning l took the first train and l arrived in TYO back to home in the afternoon and oh, l forgot to tell u a thing ... l noticed an amazing thing: traveling in the trains wherever you are, it might give u a glimpse of how the local people are and l saw a very funny thing, literally true, coming from the south japan l could see that the southernmost place people were more relaxed and more in tune with nature and coming upper, lets say in between Kyushu and Tokyo, alias Osaka, l found people still with something of the south mixed with its original local behavior (wild) and something of the city ... and while l was approaching Tokyo ... amazing ... how easy to see the differences ... l found more and more stiff and serious people with nothing of the joy of the south and with nothing of the wilderness of Osaka ... aaaaaaahh aahh how l saw it so clear hahaaaaaaaa ... anyway ... thank you for enjoying my Odyssey ... l'm grateful to you, my beloved reader, for allowing me to share something that l never thought possible and that made me aware of many things that otherwise l could have missed and for the joy in making this blog and certainly l will go on with who know what hehe ... a special thanks to my Mama and Chamki for inviting me to share my south unforgettable story ... and thank you to all the fellows travelers that l met on the way as well in the web ... BOW TO YOU WITH LOVE!

Yes l was happily fat and Happy New Year! (^o^)/
