3 September 2007 - 境港

We went to 境港 (sakaiminato). the hometown of 水木しげる, author げげげ鬼太朗.

We spent almost one day here! Walking along the street, going to the temple, museum. The streets was filled with the statues created by 水木しげ る. It was quiet but interesting. The weather was cloudy and raining, though only certain times is sunny. Quite relax but we really walked alot!

We bought alot of stuff too! Especially me! Though I am not really a fan of げげげ鬼太朗. But I really admire 水木しげる talent and his will to continue the life of a comic creator. He is now 80 plus years old!

While on way back, I spotted a cool guy on the train. He resembles Oguri Shun. I wanted to ask him if I can take a pic of him but he walked so fast and went to the next platform. Too far for my camera to focus on him!

Ate at a Izagaya. Chatted with the chief coz we sat at counter (I requested for it). It was nice! He knows where is Singapore and said this town is countryside. I asked him if they speak a certain 弁 here and he said they speak 米子弁. It is like 鳥取弁, which is different from 島根弁. But luckily I understand his Japanese. He was really surprised that I can speak Japanese.

We had a sumptous meal at the izagaya and it only cost us 4260yen! Wah! We then went to Santy again to buy stuff and came back to watch Hey Hey Hey. I missed the Arashi part (nevermind! haha, but sorry Leo, I cannot update you on this!) but I caught Kinki`s part.

I have been checking website and writing diary for almost 2 hours now. Got to rest and take shower. Tomorrow got to go to sand dune. Oh god, please give me sunny weather! Please please please!
