Just a quick video compilation of the arcade in Narita I popped into and the Pachinko palour in Shibuya. One more video to come. I’ll likely post it tomorrow once I’ve got Windows 7 working, or figured out how to stop the Movie Maker in my XP from locking up all the time.

I didn’t get the chance to edit this before I uploaded the main post for the visit to the Pagoda. Again, if you go direct to the video’s page on YouTube, there’s a hi-def version available.

Small post and a few photos and videos, so they’re all at the bottom. I didn’t get to dive with the girls this morning as their dive boat was full. I took a walk across the road and found most of the other dive shops shut. One, Sabah Divers, had an open door but the [...]

We didn’t need too early a rise as Daniel said he operated on “elastic time” (flexible) and we should be at his for around 9:30. Ish. So we had a leisurely breakfast then carried our bags to the Corner, after our hoteliers said they would have the same room waiting for us when we got [...]
