British Lobster

i-Pod Mini: green. Digi-cam: silver. Japanese textbook: pink. Lonely Planet guide: blue. Me: red, red, red.

Spot the British tourist at the beach!

Shirahama; a beautiful white beach only 3 hours from the frantic pace of Tokyo but a whole world away. Lovely. Time for some serious sunbathing.

It was hot, but early in the day, a pretty strong breeze, pretty cloudy, so not too hot. Hence, one was not quite so careful as one should've been. After swimming in the sea, sleeping on the beach, swimming in the sea, reading on the beach, swimming in the sea, and studying on the beach, I'd turned quite a nice shade of red. But, of course, only on one side (it's easier to read laying on your stomach, you know?)! And of course I have a snowy-white arse and bow shape on my back where my bikini had been tied. Nice.

Lesson learned. For now...
