Its not the best for taller larger people. At least not in my opinion anyway.

I love both countries, but living back in Oz now. I too got the huge reverse culture shock upon return to oz as well. But after a while you adjust back in. I would get one going back to Japan again now (and love it).Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673548971752650566.post-604320904886462502012-01-14T15:57:03.562+09:002012-01-14T15:57:03.562+09:00Will mate! Great of you to stop by. Yeah man, the Airbusses kick ass - the A380 between Japan and Korea was HUGE. I mean, like we were in business (took no chances with the yung&#39;un) and had completely flat beds, with room to run around the end - like first class type space. Even the smaller Airbus down to Oz, the beds went flat, if not perfectly horizontal. Which was all good for me, as I had a tummy bug the whole flight there and wasn&#39;t much help to anyone, but the lad managed to sleep most of the flight and got there in better shape than any of us.Hiko Saemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09001094965634408490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673548971752650566.post-62975575653248754722012-01-14T15:54:57.126+09:002012-01-14T15:54:57.126+09:00Not only do I lose it when I see those guys (Hunstman spiders can get to be as big as your hand), but being the only man in the house back in the day, it was my job to chase the buggers down with the broom. Except they are fast, and jump, and bite... The house is the perfect place to recharge though, and yeah, the lad loved it there. Not a baby any more... :) See you in Feb mate!Hiko Saemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09001094965634408490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673548971752650566.post-36886619266534324612012-01-14T15:53:02.403+09:002012-01-14T15:53:02.403+09:00Haha, you could go to worse places - it sounds like you know Aussie slang for animals there better than I do, you GALAH! :)<br />All the best for the new year, and kotoshi mo yoroshiku ne.PeaceHiko Saemonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09001094965634408490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673548971752650566.post-11961063725518999352012-01-14T01:03:24.556+09:002012-01-14T01:03:24.556+09:00HUGE FKN SPIDER! I would lose it if I saw that thing :s<br />mum&#39;s house looks very chills and relaxed. Great place for a recharge for sure!<br />The little lad is growing up so quick, can&#39;t believe he is already two!

And I&#39;m at home!<br />Glad you had a great break - the photo of Leo and poodle speaks volumes to me. Big day, Big Snooze!<br />During summer, I manage to get home, smash dinner and get off to the beach or bay most afternoons. Can&#39;t beat it. To make it better, I get to work earlier and sneak out even earlier. No one cares. Everyone wants to do it!<br />Haven&#39;t been on an Airbus yet. Wonder what the big differences are? Size, I guess. Legroom? <br />Hope you can get back again soon - always welcome to hang out with me and the fam in Sydney!<br /><br />Much Love <br />AB - Aka WilliamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673548971752650566.post-60641978276784349132012-01-13T12:28:05.483+09:002012-01-13T12:28:05.483+09:00WOW! Lotsa good pics there, man. Gotta love the frangipani flower, the OZ-SOME delicous lamb and crrrrikey...I see a pic with a laughing jackass (OZ slang for kooky bird for you all nosy readers...Bah)!! Spectacular pics there, mate! Glad you had the time to enjoy abroad with Junior. Glad you got the time to be in a Home that you&#39;ve never known (Australia) and most importantly... get-aways make one feel refreshed, truly be alive, fully energized...and back on-line!<br /><br />cheers, Hiko. I need a vacation. Bah!<br /><br />So sayeth The Oldenyouth (now staying in his Home that he has never quite known ~ Japan).oldenyouthhttp://oldenyouth.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
