Mantenbo Hot springs

Getting up so early in the morning for Hot springs is pretty hard esp when your sleepy and u want to sleep more. Driving takes about 20mins to get there but once ur inside ur happy that u went. I always meet Hiroyuki there he works about 20mins from there but he has to pass there to get to his home.
Its a good Hot springs since it opens at 6am and only cost 400yen. You can stay in as long as u like. We tend to hit the sauna for 25-30mins. Thats if we get in at 6am its still only warm while it gets heated up if its after 6.30 then its only 12mins.
Recently I head for the cider bath and he heads for the electrictly bath. I have never been in that Im too much of a chicken to enter it

My cycling boom

I'm back into cycling again. I just have to get rid of the fear of riding with and getting a sore bottom. Im having troubles still with that hard saddle.
Tim, a guy that lives in Seto (from Manchester, man city fan) is now a semi pro cyclist. His bike cost of a 100man yen, I dont know how much it is in English pounds but I guess nearly 8000 pounds I think. I just think but if he wins a race he gets that much in return. Thats what I heard anyhow
I and him have been writting messages alot on facebook and offered to go out with my one a cycle ride next week. The foolish thing I said was I promise I will. So now I have to train my sorry ass and go for a ride!
I plan to head up to Kaze fun bike shop and ask him to have a look at the light or just buy a new front set also I want to buy a pump for my bike.
I plan to ride my bike in the spring vacation everyother day.

Supporting Chubu Basketball

First time this season I went to support Chubu basketball.
I heard that the first game was going to be the hardest out of the two games that they were playing.

The first team basketball clothes they wore pink >.< and had a very tall black guy from Senegal but he was really skinny.
The game went into extra time and they won by steals 5 points
They had another 2hours for a rest b4 they played the 2nd game which were a much easier team but in the first quarter they were behind 15points and never really caught up.
Lee (chinese boy) very tall, but he travelled too much causing the other team to overturn the ball. I think he has to be more cleverer in future games.

I also saw a lack of consecration when returning back to defense.

Rebounds seemed very weak

Movement to create more opportunities

Even thou we had alot of support the crowd where very quiet when losing, this is where they should be loud but I wonder does supporting from the fans really have an effect on the players?

In the evening I had a slight fever 37.4 my throat was sore, my voice was rough and my desire to eat anything was thrown out the window

Buying a home

We have been searching for the last 9 months for a new place to live, land over here is expensive alot more expensive
We saw some land which has a very old house on it. My wife and MIL decided to neg a price for it, after a week the agency got back to us and told us that the son wants to sell it to us but the mother cant make up her mind. She dont want to sell it to a gaiijin (foreigner).
Bloody stupid. Japanese so prejudice and racist esp old people hopefully she will come round otherwise we still be looking
