You know you're on the way to Tokyo when...

Sitting in the JAL Sakura Lounge at the Bangkok Airport at 6:15am heading for Tokyo.  In the background, as I sip my coffee and eat my morning cake, I hear from every direction a sound synonymous only with Japan.  The sound of slurping Japanese men while they eat their way through hot morning instant ramen noodles.

Ahhhhh

Monday - time for Tokyo update

Dear All

The state that the Internet cannot be connected in the guest room floor is sometimes being generated now.

In the cause, the case for man who doesn't have the precise knowledge to touch LAN wiring and to have damaged the system is most. Therefore, Please never touch the computer and LAN wiring, etc. other than the system manager or engineering.

As for wiring in the hotel, domestic wiring and the system are different. When man who doesn't have the precise knowledge touches wiring, the system is destroyed.

Very Confucius don't you think? When Man doesn't have knowledge, the system is destroyed. Doesn't that just say it all.

Update from Tokyo

I know I keep referring to Tokyo here but it just keeps giving me good material. I really can't wait to get back there in two weeks time to see friends and of course a big bowl of spicy ramen at Raku Raku.

So here is the Monday update, which I have to say threw me:

"It was said that the broiled fish of the dish of the dinner was hard, and had a new thing immediately though it ate in the place where it was about 13:45, it was Japanese restaurant Miyuki, and Mr and Mrs Dany of Ms who reserved it was a table seat. It was very high-spirited, and moreover, the child of Dany's next table very got angry about it, and put away today on the way of the meal of the shop..it was possible to go out.. coming to a store of a lot of guests of the child. The Miyuki Mori ran after soon, it apologized, and it apologized to staying manager's Kunimi manager in the lobby.

It apologized to section chief Kobayashi again in Jardin, and afterwards, coffee and the fruit were eaten and consented. By the way, I did not get the meal fee in Miyuki."

Translation:

The child next to M/M Dany's table was noisey and they complained.
Also, it took 3 attempts to charge the credit card as it would not go through.

Credit card?? I thought this was about the fish and screaming child?

Spirituality

I have someone I would like to recommend to the world. How often do you hear this?  John lives in Bali with his wife and wonderful family of three gorgeous daughters.  He is one of the most spiritual people I have ever encountered through the many places I have lived and the trips I have taken around the world. His insight into life and his views and approach to the energies that surround all of us, guide each of us, reach to places I only wish I could go.

I have attached his link to his poems, his art and his journeys through Nepal and Bhutan for you to explore and enjoy.  Feel free to contact him in Bali and let him know your thoughts and opinions on his website and his specifically his arts.

I guarantee you will see things differently.
