MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!

Last day in Japan

Unbelievable that more than 2 years has passed since I first time stepped on this strange island. Time did past fast. First of all I have to thank you all readers of this blog for your interest during these years. And this is not the goodbye - not yet. Still want to share few more postings. Though, most probably they will come from Finland, as I have 1 hour and 5 minutes time to take shover, eat breakfast, get this laptop stuffed into the pack-bag and walk to the station.  That being said, I really need to get moving now. 

Matane.

ps. visited today the Big Buddha (daibutsu). Always time for last moment sightseeing. (^_^)/

Phone working again

Hehe, forgot to pay the phone bill and the shut my phone. Naturally mr. Murphy had everything in control and my credit card stopped giving me cash from atm. Phone company accepts only cash. Nice. At least I had nicely quiet weekend as no one called or sent any mails. :D

Now it's working again for next 7 days. Then this phone will be silenced forever.

Wow. That really means that I have 7 days left here in Japan.

やったー！

The day which I have been waiting for 8 months is now here. Today was the last check up for my operated knee. The doctor gave green light for ALL sports. Right now I'm walking towards the Machida judo club's dojo. 10 more minutes and finally I can wear my judogi. Something which I've dreamed doing more than few times in past months.

Phooooooh. The whole body from end of each hair all the way to the tip of toes is tinckeling funnily. Small things can make man so happy. :D

K1 one more time

One last chance to see the K1-finals while I'm still here. Out of 3 last year's tournaments this was the best by far. So much electricity in most of the fights! Bet that every body got what they asked for their money. Excellent tournament!

Only minus was that in the final match Badr Hari "the Golden Boy" totally lost himself and kicked to the head his opponent who was already down. So unatheletic move that he was disqualified. It was a shame 'cause he had good chances to win the fight and become a champion. And everybody wanted to see these really skilled guys fight for the title. Hope he learnt his lesson and fights for the championship belt next year.

This years champion is Remy Bojansky.

Fire alarm practice

I was expecting this to be a BIG thing with sirens, smoke, firefighters and etc. as the posters announcing it appeared in elevator 2 months ago. But no.

The noon was the start for this and my heart was beating a bit faster at 11:58 -soon there will be some action in this peacefull day. No alarm went off, no smoke, no firefighters rushing to save us...hehe, why would they bother. We took an elevator to first floor, walked out of the front door, dropped our "safety cards" in to an basket and were back to our work in few minutes later.

Cranes

Japanese style of construction site. Wonder how big the new building will be..? At least it took ages to smash the old buildings from that spot.
