Lazy freelanced pig

Yep that is me.
My am enjoying life way to much out here. I just eat and sleep and do minimal work. Brain is on stanby and I was so shocked about this after I decided to go to bed at 5pm this afternoon and now wide awake at 1am in the morning! haha...

So, after the intensive week in Taiwan I am once again back on Japanese earth, with my new Toshiba cheap-bargain computer. Let us see how long this one lasts, considering i worn out my IBM hard drive in just over 2 years. The technician very very reluctantly signed the form to let me have a brand new one for free ^_^v

I carried on my daily exploration of Japan yesterday. We went to the Kabukiza in Ginza and watched two acts. Kabuki is a form of Japanese theatre, with flamboyantly and colourfully-dressed casts on a large stage. The make up on the major actors were elaborately done as a replacement of Noh masks, an alternative austere and powerful theatrical form.

Even with the occasional random (permitted)shouting from the 3rd floor of the audiences, the actors all seem to be able to remain focused and continue the flow of the act. I don't know how exactly they don't get distracted with what sounded like verbal abuse to me but I guess that is why they are Kabuki actors and I am not! The entire theatrical play seemed rather passive, with minimal movement...after 3 hours of staring what is on stage the most fequent movement is probably presented by the set change! Otherwise all of them just seem to kneel on this huge stage and talk and talk and talk...and so most people reach their critical point and go to sleep...
