No-one I know got shot in South-Central LA.

Shimizu must be the place most like San Jose, California, in Japan. Saturday was one of the best days I've had in ages. Originally intended for cycling, the possibility of poor weather led to a much more relaxing day. Breakfast at McDonalds - who knew! A rotenburo before 11. Sitting nekid in the sun in public without being arrested or abused is something I'll definitely miss.
Then the world-renowned Kusanagi-ramen - all meat, no beefs baby. An afternoon nap. Then a BBQ; all thrown together on a bicycle much too small in borrowed hip-hop gear and pretty girls.
It was the first sunny day in three weeks - as such the skies were unbelievable - first glimpse of Mr. Fuji since April. REAL CLOUDS.
Thanks Pin.
It was a good day.
