World War III and some BBQ:ing

Yesterday was the hottest day in my entire life. Humid as hell, no wind... anyway, we had a BBQ near the Matsudo river!

There were well over 25 people there, mostly from our guesthouse. Besides being a food and drink party, it was also (as Alexander poetically calls it) the "Battle Royale of food". You see, when over twenty people of different nationalities are hungry and you have a grill that's roughly a third of a square metre, there's going to be bloodshed. With beers added into the picture, you get waterfights, chopsticks fights, guys jumping in the river... etc.

There were a bunch of japanese people there, but there was one who was one who is really worth mentioning; A girl named Aiko (pic below) who was studying SWEDISH. Why would anyone do that to oneself? Study a dying language that barely no one knows - even some of the swedes don't speak it very well. Kind of defeats the purpose of being an overall cool japanese person ^_^;

I deduct 50 cool points from Aiko and anyone else who dares to waste time on learning the Swedish language!

After the madness had calmed down for a bit, we all kind of just chilled in the weather(read: extremely agonizing heat). Also, Julia found some snake skin with a cigarette butt attached to it (Solid Snake?). Pictures of that and more below.

Chiizu!

We found a snake scale with a cigarette butt stuck to it... Solid Snake?

Shinya the party planner. A bit drunk.

Poor Malin didn't seem to get much to eat at the grill... er, I mean war.
