BBQ by the river

Saturday 19th July Emi and I joined one of Emi's friends Yuki and her palls for a BBQ by a river. I can't remember exactly where it was but it is about half way from where I live to Mt.Fuji.



As you can see from the pictures the view was was good. Also the Japanese were like the Borg - they just set everything up without more than a few words said ebtween them. Also they were very good at preparing the food and getting it all cooked, much better than us Brits!
It was a really nice day in the sun.
The funiest part was when another Nissan guy came over the speak to me. He worked on the GTR engine and had driven a GTR for the first time earlier in the week. He was also very drunk. The conversaion went like this:
"You know GTR"
"Yes"
"It has best acceleration, it has best...cornering, it is the best car in the world"
"Really?"
"have to driven one?"
"No"
"It has the best acceleration...cornering, it is the best in the world"
"Realy?"
"have you driven one"...
Sunday Emi was visiting her mother again so I met up with Jamie and went to Yokohama.
In the Red Brick building (I believe it was an amour store used in WW2) there are various shops and resturants. One of the resturants is a Burger chain whose other 3 resterants are in Santa Cruz (USA), and 2 in Hawai. The choice was very good - you could pick different bread/rolls and cheese plus get extras like bacon - and the taste was very good also. I'm not sure if it was better than MOS Burger but it was very good. Only way to tell would be with a Burger-off!
In the evening I was on my own so rented Death Proof from Tsutaya. Strange film, not realy sure if I like it or not. It might be one of those that had hidden elements to get behind, maybe a second viewing is required.
