Hot Spring Waterpark 2009

Since the day I got to Japan, I have been wanting to go to this place . Yesterday, I did not go to work and went with Eko to the Hot Spring water park in Hakone, Japan. Although I had my camera, I did not take any pictures. Here is the link to where I went: www.yunessun.com/english/yunessun.html. Anyway, I met her around 11 AM and we took a three hour train ride to Hakone, which is in the Mt. Fuji area. It was beautiful to see space. I had not realized I missed seeing land, the sky, buildings not being on top of one another until I was out of that environment. We got to the water park and went into the Dead Sea spa. It was fun for like 3 seconds and then everything starts to burn and feels like something is biting you. Poor Eko did not know what kind of spa it was and put her face in the water which when we got out I was able to hose her down with water. We proceeded to go outside (it was freezing) where they had coffee, red wine, sake, green tea, charcoal spas. Also, we got to put our feet in the water where there were fish that would eat all the dead skin off. It was weird. After a couple of hours, we left the spa and made the long trek back to Yokosuka. Hot spas make me sleepy. We got back and ate at this restaurant I had been wanting to go to with a salad bar. It was great and I was so surprised that Japan actually had a good salad bar. Today, I am back at work with nothing to do. My weekend was pretty uneventful went out with Angela and Eko to the New Texas bar, Sat did not make capsule hotel, and Sun helped Angela clean her house where I scored I new purse. This week there is work, but at least I have something to do as I am going to Taiwain, Vietnam, and maybe Cambodia from the 12-16th!!!!
