Kamakura Beach and Public Bath

At first, my plan for the day was to go to a Free Consultation for a Foreigners in Yokohama, but TTki asked me if I wanted to go to the Beach with him and his brother and his brother's friends. I said yes, because I should go. So I went over to have lunch, then we were off to the beach in Kamakura. It's very famous for the beach as well as the Big Buddha, which I visited in November last year. Kamakura city isn't that far from my house since that's where I walk home from.

The beach is disgusting. I can't believe I walked into the water. Its not even comparable to San Diego. They had a pile of Trash right in front of where we were sitting. The water and sand weren't that great. But it was still fun. Even though I might die of disease later. I did cut my foot stepping on something in the Sand, but I think the Salt from the ocean cleaned that off great. It was more fun than I thought it would be. I'm glad that I went.

After that we went to a public bath. It's a very common occurance in Japan. I don't understand it to be honest with you. But they all like it. I'm not much for relaxing, but I'm on vacation so I agreed to go. Even on my vacation I'm still busy as hell. I still find it strange to go to those things. They have a variety of different baths. Hot water, Hotter Water, Sauna, Hotter Sauna, Water that makes you float, There was one that was brown, COLD water, electric water, and a regular jacuzzi. I couldn't tell you which one I enjoyed the most, because they were all kinda on the bad side. But I think it was just because it was overly hot. We stayed their for a few hours, and then went back home. It was good since we were really dirty from the beach then really clean because of the public bath.

We all had dinner together. I stayed over there for a few hours talking and watching TV. We saw the soccer game between Austrailia and Japan... Japan lost... again. Then we watched a boxing match between a comedian and a former boxer, that was quite interesting. The last thing we were watching was Air Force One. After that, I was getting tired so I came back here. And the only thing I've been doing since I've got back into my apartment is type xanga entries. I talked to my sister a little, which is always good. She's up early, I'm kinda surprised. I still feel kinda dirty, which isn't good at all, but I think I will sleep soon, since I can barely type and I'm tired as hell. Good Night.
