Kufsa non-Futsal Tournament

Of course that’s not tghe original torunament’s name, but, anyway, I don’t even know if it has a name… We played this tournament organized by KUFSA (Kagoshima University Foreign Students Association), which happens to be a funny association when it comes to this kind of events.







From the album KUFSA Non-Futsal Tournament (October 19, 2008).

Believe me when I tell you that the pics don’t reflect at all what he have experienced today! Talking about details, we (Europe: Alexander-RU, Tom-UK, Pedro-ES, Nik-BU, Chris-GR, Tim-GR, and me) played the 1/4 finals against South America, which happens to be the team with less percentage of Kadai students in it OMG! Of course we lost because we played like ass but that is not the point.

The most irregular grass!! field!!! ever!!!! + no lines + no off-sides + 2 meters-wide gates… EXCELLENT!

De camino a Kagoshima, Ichiran (20 de Agosto)

Continuando con las aventurillas que pasamos este verano com mis padres, y Lucia y mi hermano en Japón, vistos Kyoto y Nara, nos decidimos a continuar del tiron hasta Kagoshima para descansar de hoteles en mi casa y visitar mas lugares durante el retorno a Tokyo, que todavía teníamos JR Pass para rato.

Pero claro, estando de camino Fukuoka, había que hacer una paradida por corta que fuera. Y, aunque como muchos sabreis, en Fukuoka se encuentra la residencia del aclamado Pepino y la Pepina (con todas las de la ley, enhorabuena!), el motivo de nuestra parada era degustar el que creo que es el mejor ramen (fideos chinos) de Japón, el de Ichiran.







From the album Fukuoka On The Way To Kagoshima (August 20, 2008).

Ichiran es un restaurante que solamente tiene un plato, y bebidas, eso si, puedes elegir la cantidad de cada ingrediente quieres que te pongan, la dureza de los fideos, las grasas, … y un sinfin de cosas. El caso es que todos disfrutaron y comimos genial los 5.

Más tarde continuamos el viaje hasta Kagoshima donde nos encontramos con Hyang Sun. Eso si, molidos a la piltra! Mañana más!!

El EURO tocando fondo

Poco que decir, la verdad es que el tema esta jodidillo para los bancos y esto se ha notado y mucho en las divisas, en menos de un mes, el EURO a bajado mas de un 20% en 1 mes o asi. Es para flipar! Y para que os hagais una idea, cuando mi famlia estubo en Japon (Agosto) el Yen valia mas o menos como la peseta y 60 EUROS venian a ser 10000 YEN. Que pasa, que ahora estamos en que 60 EUROS son solo 8200 YEN!!

Al menos parece que esta semana nos estamos viniendo arriba.

It’s time to let Snake go

As you may have seen, I haven’t been the active blogger I use to be. The reason? No, I haven’t been thinking about user interfaces like a regular salaryman from Tokyo will do, no… I have been saving the world from the malefic hands of Liquid Ocelot.

Of course, I’ve been attending daily needs like eating, attending lessons and reports, other duties and going to the toilet (eventually). Look a it as a part-time job saving the world which at some rate meant defending what the Patriots protected. I got to meet lots of surprising new friends, and old fellers like: Big Boss (my dad), Eva (my mum), Solidus (my uncle), Liquid Ocelot (10% of my twin brother), and even Psycho-mantis 10 years after he died!!

Obviously, I’m talking about Metal Gear Solid 4 which I finished yesterday night. Statistically speaking, it took me 23 hours of game play and I was awarded as EAGLE for having accumulated a high number of shoots in the head.

Once again, an amazing epilogue for an amazing game of an amazing saga. I’ve been there since Metal Gear Solid 1, and If you ever happen to play it, I recommend you to feel the story, because it will catch more that the game play itself.
