Kobe at night. Yeah, night. Notice the dark sky and lack of sunlight, genius. 

Kayo's so shy. To be honest, I had just poked her in the eye with one of my chopsticks while attempting a really cool trick. Actually it wasn't really a trick. I just wanted to see if I really had the guts to, well, poke someone in the eye with one of my chopsticks. 

I know what you're thinking. It's just a picture of me eating using chopsticks. Although any picture with me in it is awesome in and of itself, there's something else to this. That's right. I am eating raw HORSE meat right there. I guess I was so hungry that I could have eaten a horse. And, I did! I also had Whale for the first time last night. Take that, Greenpeace! 

A view from the observation deck of Kobe Port Tower. The mist surrounding the mountains in the background are great. Whoever thought that up is a genius. 

Yours truly at the top of Kobe Port Tower. There's really not much else to say about this. Sorry, I tried. 

Kayo and I in front of a temple near Sannomiya in Kobe. I actually got a good fortune this time around, so finally there's no need for me to cry myself to sleep tonight. Well, at least one less reason to...

It's nice to know that when things go wrong with your socks, or if you just need someone to talk to when your sock life goes awry, that there are people out there who can help. 

Today I visited Kobe for the first time. The chick to the immediate front is my friend Kayo. Kobe is a lot like Osaka, but somewhat cleaner and more elegant. Also, apparently it's a hotbed for Yakuza activity. I'll save infiltrating one of their warehouses for my next visit.
