Before I get started, I have just made a Flickr Account so you can see some pictures to go along with what does and doesn't get put into the blog. Said Flickr account can be seen here:

So today started out with a group consensus in going out and seeing some of the neighbouring areas. We decided on and went to Kurashiki. A very nice old town, with some very beautiful temples and shrines. A fair bit of shops and food stores as well as some touristy things like museums and tours. A very very nice trip for my first day in Japan. The majority of the photos from that trip can be found again here.
The rest of the day included me taking photos of novel but interesting things... like my toilet seat, the vending machines that are scattered EVERYWHERE throughout Japan and some bikes, that they don't lock up here.
When it came to diner, we all went grocery shopping.... I bought Cup Noodles, spaghetti, and a corn dog. Woot woot!. Needless to say, I went to dinner at a nice small Japanese restaurant, where the owner/chef/waiter cooked fresh dumplins, and cooked real fresh food. It was nice.
We ended up at Karaoke that night, and that was a lot of fun. The place we went to has a all you can drink for the time you reserve, and you can't really get much better than that.. Oh wait you can, they serve beef soup from a nescafe vending machine, free! I thought that was awesome.
