current happenings

Starting today: Current Happenings.

Small segments of everyday life. Not everything can come with pictures or a long story friends, but somethings are definitely worth sharing.

So it turns out that we missed the spectacular fireworks display at the dutch theme park. We were back in Sasebo eating ice cream cones and walking home when everyone else was back in the Netherlands livin' it up with fireworks! No wonder everyone was staring at us like we were crazy for leaving!! Granted our minds were slightly impaired for the 1,000ml carafe of red wine we polished off, I'm still not sure how we managed to miss FIREWORKS!!!

Oh, and not to mention we didn't know we were standing in one of Micheal Jackson's favorite places on earth. Go figure it would be a cheesy dutch fairytale land, but still, at one of the attractions they actually have his favorite seat engraved and people lay flowers on top!! I am so saddened at the fact that we can not read one bit of Kanji...stupid symbols. But, the good thing is a tribute show to him starts this weekend and lasts for a month. So, you can only bet that we will be heading back for MJ stalking, wine, pear & blue cheese pizza, and for goodness sake, FIREWORKS!
