That story was just starting to break as I left Australia. Looks like those tough times have galvanised the team.<br />You are right about Aussie Rules in Japan. The Tokyo club is called the Tokyo Goannas: http://www.tokyogoannas.com/<br />Looks like it is the off season at the moment.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-76106931059057836652013-04-08T12:41:43.823+10:002013-04-08T12:41:43.823+10:00Konnichiwa Jason.I have barracked for the Bombers ...Konnichiwa Jason.I have barracked for the Bombers since my high school days at Rostevor and have followed them closely ever since.I like to see the 2 south aust. teams do well,but my loyalty remains with the red and blacks in the afl.Their massive win against Melbourne on Sat. will give them a fantastic percentage boost and I am tipping them to win a close one against Freo in Perth this week.I have heard that in some parts of Nihon there are some aussie rules teams,but exactly where I have no idea.Sayounara.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-85688536346115811112013-04-08T01:59:37.970+10:002013-04-08T01:59:37.970+10:00Hi Noel,

I remember bringing one of my brothers for a visit one time, and he definitely saw the wonderful things that I love about Japan. <br />Not heading over to visit Korea or China was one of my biggest regrets last time I was living here. I have promised myself that I will definitely visit both countries now that I am back here. I actually share a house with a few Japanese people and a few Koreans as well, so a nice multi-cultural household!<br />I have been keeping an eye on AFL results and noticed both teams won, and that my Bombers won too!<br />Mata ne.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-6394870280822058362013-04-08T01:48:17.378+10:002013-04-08T01:48:17.378+10:00It would get their attention for sure, but would t...It would get their attention for sure, but would they get much work (apart from drawing Pandas) done?jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-57037407442117501502013-04-07T01:06:20.351+11:002013-04-07T01:06:20.351+11:00Hi Jason,another interesting blog and a really goo...Hi Jason,another interesting blog and a really good photo of you and the little girl.I went to harajuku and was expecting a lot of crazy makeup/clothing etc.I did see a little of it,but nowhere near what I had anticipated.Unfortunately, did not get to yoyogi-koen.As a matter of interest,there is quite a nice eatery in Swanston St. called "yoyogi" and it is cheap.My sister arrives in Tokyo for an organised tour on April 8 and will head south to Shikoku and Kyushu and depart from Fukuoka on the 26th.She will fly Korean Air via Seoul.By the way have you been to Seoul by any chance.From whatI have heard,many Nihon-jin go there for a long weekend.With the current warnings from North Korea,I can imagine trips to South Korea will be few and far between until things settle down.Melissa and baby are doing well.The baby "amber" had her first vaccines a few days ago.Nice autumn weather here at the moment.Crows and Power won this weekend!Dewa mata,Noel.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-76573338250605801282013-04-06T21:52:57.290+11:002013-04-06T21:52:57.290+11:00Well as I am currently an Arts teacher, I think th...Well as I am currently an Arts teacher, I think that could give me more flexibility in school attire...Would get the kids attention, that's for sure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870141899949359987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-34297332149457637902013-04-04T04:42:46.330+11:002013-04-04T04:42:46.330+11:00Hi Natalie.

I know exactly what you mean!<br />I think the clothes in the panda shop might be a hit in Cummins right?!!jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-31392154367271431332013-04-03T23:17:39.312+11:002013-04-03T23:17:39.312+11:00The sea of umbrellas looks really cool.

I can remember seeing something similar in The Netherlands and had never seen so many different types, styles and designs on umbrellas before. <br /> It's great to see things that you would have never have thought about before, until you see it. Then it's like,wow, I've never seen that before and I've discovered something new! Does that make sense? <br />I love the hat shop. Could have some fun in there! Any tips for up and coming fashions to look forward to in Australia? Some of the window displays are um....interesting!!
