If I ever need another netbook, I know where I'll get it. One of the staff at the hostel on the side customises laptops/netbooks. This one is half the size of mine, has a touch screen, over-clocked atom processer and 4GB of RAM. It can run Crisis. He also showed me the cool slide out two screen laptops he makes. The price for these is very reasonable too...
Also found out that he plays go. As I was leaving...
After my ride to Nagasaki I arrived just in time to go for a free walk with locals. A nice service for the hostel to provide. They took us to a nearby temple and for once I had an explanation for all the different statues and shrines. I believe now that Shinto exists soley to aid in the aquisition of wealth. Every god it seems has two purposes and one of them is always related to money.
One of the more artistic prayers.
Back at the hostel I taught another two people how to play go (you can probably just assume I do this wherever I go) one of whom has been travelling for 14 years, which I found quite impressive. He studies music in the countries he visits, and has been doing so in Japan for four years. He makes enough money to live on from making traditional Japanese flutes. He has obtained an odd skill set in his time... Of course being a traveller meant that he had a missed a lot of things, including Toy Story which we were able to remedy thanks to the hostels DVD collection.
