Recently Johnny's have a little trend, the Power Balance bracelet.
At first Shige was timid and said "I'm not a sporty type..." but then he purchased it too.
He didn't know there were of any size and he bought a XS, now after the tan he has a clear sign of it and it hurted too.
Then a boy from the staff told him "I paid it 1000 yen less than you", Shige felt down: "I know he didn't mean anything bad but I would have preferred to not know that...".
But it seems that the effects were great, expecially on the boat, look, this polaroid don't know shakes (just a bit).
("Suuu" - Look. The balance.)
One of my friend decided to take the fascinating path of coming back to his place to become a potter, I carefree thought "It seems interesting! I'll come too!" and I took a plane towards Wakayama. It turned into a pretty active trip. Of course I tried pottery, I fished, I visited a lot of places, I was always moving. In Wakayama there are many power spots to visit, 1 night trip wouldn't be enought to see everything so I didn't have many choices. The main ones were 2. The mount Koya famous for the monk Koubou Daishi (Kukai) and the Kumano Sanzan that includes the famous Nachi waterfalls. Both of them are World Heritage sites. I had to see one of them for sure but the directions were different...good...let's go to the waterfalls!! I went there with my friend and we arrived near to them. If you walk for around 1 hour from there you can arrive to the waterfalls. Ok, let's walk. I walked excited to see them. Still 15 minutes to the arrival...this is when I took this picture. Do you understand? That thing there. Yes. You can see it...just behing the idling stop sign you can see those important waterfalls...somehow. Be fair. You can't just see them like that. What surprised me more...seeing them like this after that long walk, you can't really help but stop to idle a little.
Looking to this waterfall so near was obviously moving. It wasn't that near in reality though.
After you watched the waterfalls, as said before,it uses to pay a visit to Kumano Sanzan, the sanctuary of Kumano Honguu, Kumano Kaido, Kumano tachi, so I went there too. There in a shrine there was a curtain to pray for the World Cup victory...why? ...Then some of those shrine was sacred to the crow of the picture. By the way, you can't see it but this crow has 3 legs. I guess you already understood. This crow is the "Yatagarasu", the symbol of Japanese soccer team!! See, there is a 3 legged crow also on the emblem of the uniforms. I went for accident in that shrine in Kumano Sanzan and even if I don't have any interest in soccer I paid it a visit. Anyway the crow is really cool. While I'm writing this, Japan just won against Camerun. Uhuhuh. It's thank to me...saying this I'm surely gaining antipathy but please, let me get excited too.
Japan, ganbare!
