Sporty weekend spice

So last weekend I had a decidely sporty weekend, but fortunatly I wasnt a spice girl (buh).


Saturday straight after work went to the driving range at Edamitsu where my driving game was absolutly on form thanks to coach Sam, hitting to 200-250 yards heaps alot! I made the mistake of not stretching and now my back still hurts 4 days later :(


Sunday night went to the Orio hood to Jenns house for some impromptue 'Texas Hold em' (thats poker for youse that dunno), after a few beers and a bit of tuition it was ready to pull out the big money. 5 yen bets were the norm with a maximum raise of 10 yen (oh shit damn we high rollers!!) and in no time I was rinsing Jenn and David of their 100yen, but alas it was not to be and eventually Jenn cleaned us out....... after that we went to the Orio Billiard hall, yes! I hadnt played pool since leaving NZ so I was well excited, twas great fun


Next day myself and Aqua-asian the motorbike riding extraordinaire went to this big ass multi sports plavce called Round 1, basically you go pay 1300 yen for 3 hours and they have two floors (the top one is outdoors) of sports and what not that you can do as much as you want! like pretty much EVERYTHING!!!! basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, tennis, soccer, frisbee, archery, shooting, FISHING (with real fish), rollerblading/skating, video games (infinite credits!!!!), billiards, baseball etc etc so it was pretty fun, probably my highlight was the baseball batting nets where the balls were pitched to you at 100 km/hr (or was it miles??) like woooooosh

from here..

to here...

the fishing hole was quite out of it, they had real fish in there, im not sure what they were but they looked like trout, you just went and baited up and sat and fished, anyone in NZ knows i hate fishing so i was outta there and went to the auotmated table tennis table and left David to it, he said he caught a fish but I reckon he's lyng, you know you cant trust Americans




prob the next weirdest thing was going on these little miniature motorbikes, so after a big rigmarole trying to get a go on them including signing a disclaimer/injury form written in Japanese (haha) and then getting suited up in enough safety gear to attack a gorilla safely with on we got on our bikes for a cruise which was especially amusing cos david had never ridden a motorbike before and started driving straight towards the wall.....

whats up ladies....

holy shit I'm hungry I gotta go get some food, laaaaaateeeeeeerrrrrrrr
