Ahoy, matey! GGGRRRR!

We all live under one roof so trying to plan anything while keeping it a secret is almost impossible. Especially when we're trying to keep it from George, the All-Seeing, All-Knowing eye of the Ohmeikan. The theme for George's 2.1 was 'Pirates', so Emma kidnapped George, blindfolded him, dressed him in his pirates gear then handed him the first clue for his treasure hunt. Meanwhile, Sarah was heading around Nagoya sticking the tea-stained riddles and clues onto the destinations. A lot of preparation had gone into it, we had spent all night making pirates costume, sewing skulls and crossbones onto our t-shirts and making bandanas and eye patches. Sarah and I had even found a sail and mast for our 'boat'!

I was supposed to be meeting Sarah at the TV tower in Sakae but I got distracted by the most amazing dress, which just happened to be on sale at my favourite shop. I was rushing to the TV tower and who did I bump into while I was not in costume? The pirates crew, of course! There was much 'Grrrrrrr! 'Right me matey!'

Dinner was at 59s, a restaurant/bar in Sakae, where we attracted many a-curious glances. Gaijins dressed in strange get-ups brandishing swords...the Japanese were probably thinking 'it could only be gaijins!'
