Nutz: Chasing a Noodle

I used to be indecisive... now I'm not so sure.

Sayonara And Thanks For All The Fish

This will be my last blog from within Japan. I still have a few experiences to blog about (Japanese Archery, Onsens, funny photos and my overall reflections of a great experience), which I will do from back home. I am sitting here typing this blog post in a hotel just outside Narita Airport. I've had my last Japanese meal. Not wanting to go out with a whimper, I made sure I ate something a bit usual - shark fin roll - to go along with my noodles. Early in the morning, I leave for the airport.

So, what will happen tomorrow? Will the fortune given to me by the 'wooden lion dancing robot mask thing' come true? There is actually a little update on this story. I now have two things in my favour, to counteract the bowing wooden lion's fortune of "something bad will happen on your way home":

1) Two days ago we visited a burger shop in Kobe and Sayaka was given a 'fortune stirrer' (honestly, what next? Fortune pants?) to go with her coffee. The message on the stirrer was exactly this: "he might be wrong."

2) Fearing my bad fortune might come true, Sayaka bought me a tiny frog, which is supposed to be a good luck charm. Frogs obviously out-trump dragons in the same way that rock beats scissors (I'm not going to go into the 'paper beats rock' point right now). The frog is pictured below. Will it work or won't it? In the words of the Channel 4 Japanese Show, Banzai, - "place your bets…"
