Australia’s First Soccer World Cup in 36years, and I happened to be in Germany for it :) This is a video from my time there, much of it spent watching the games and drinking Weisbeer with Tim and Gabby! Unfortunately the Ref’s were constantly against us as we had some of the worst decisions and lop-sided calls made in the entire competition, notably ital’ys DIVE obtaining a free kick to steal the match, and the biggest foul difference ever against brazil. Still, Australia made the 2nd round and proved many doubters wrong. GO AUSTRALIA!

I spent the first 5 months of ’06 Living near Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan. Working 3 of those months in a large Japanese company let me see the real Japan and have lots of fun! This is a “home movie” of that time.

Hot Springs, Saunas and Ice Candy. What a great way to escape the cold.

Hajime’s friend Matsu (a drifter) picked us up in his VR4 wagon and drove to Odaiba’s Ooedo Onsen – Kind of a hot spring theme park – doing 160 on the bridge. Nice.
Numerous indoor and outdoor hot springs (natural water dug from way down), alcohol and food on sale, saunas, games and options for massage etc. You couldn’t possibly go back to work after visiting here, its too relaxing. Followed by Kakigori (like a snow cone) and you won’t want to move. I guess thats why they also offer accommodation – And i think it even has Traditional Style rooms, so you can walk through the walls Simpsons’ style!
Odd to think that Sydney was actually hotter on New Year’s Day than the water was! HAH!
U can Keep your 45 degrees!
