Japan part 3

This Japan post will have a disjointed timeline so please forgive me, next up I will talk about a pleasant meeting. Thanks to the wonders of blogging I met a very lovely lady, I won't mention her real name but she runs several blogs under the name Obachan. My wife and I had arranged to meet Obachan after reading her blog for several months, her blog always keeps us in touch of the things going on in and around the city of Kochi which just happens to be my wifes home town. Anyway we met on our first full day in Kochi after arriving the day before from England. We had a pleasant conversation and then went to a cafe for a drink before Obachan had to go to work. It was quite a pleasant cafe and I was enjoying the company very much. I was sat on what is best described as a long bench seat against a wall, the seat was about 3 metres long and at the far end of the seat was a young lady sitting on her own enjoying her drink. I leant forward on the seat which at that point proved not to be attatched to the wall and nearly tipped the unfortunate young lady onto the floor, much to the amusement to my new found friend and my wife... I apologise deeply to that lady. The next time I saw Obachan I was quite abrupt in my departure, she must of thought me ignorant at the time (and I have explained the incident to her since then) what happened was, I bumped into Obachan in the town centre, she stopped to talk with me but I was a bit distracted and made my excuses and left, the real reason I left so quickly was that I was desperate for the toilet but was to embaressed to tell her so, I only just made it in time otherwise I would of been a very wet Englishman indeed. If you get a chance please visit Obachan's site, and congratulate her on passing some important exams that she wanted to do:) CONGRATULATIONS OBACHAN I knew you would pass:)

Hi! Sorry I didn't come here for such a long time. Thank you so much for all the nice things you wrote about me here. And I'll never forget that long bench seat. ;)
