Spiders! A guitar! Linux!
Went out to walk around Izu, by around I mean like a block and a half. I came across a bunch of spiders, the same spider species, but huge. Red, black and yellow. I took some pics and I have been assured that these are peaceful spiders. That’s cool.
As I mentioned previously there is a guitar here. I have played it now. People were diggin it. The guitar is somewhere between ten and thirty years old by the looks of it and oddly made in Korea not Japan.
Now we are in the workshop and we are installing the CentOS linux distro. I could pretty much do this at 4am while drunk driving the length of the 110 with a laptop on my dashboard but it’s still fun to do it with a guy telling you how to in a language you don’t understand. Their presentation is very detailed so I can follow it mainly. That and English pops up every now and then such as ‘root password’ and ‘time zone’.
The bento lunch was awesome. Breaded pork cutlet with some worchestershire sauce. That w word is simply pronounced uster in Japanese. Not to be confused with oyster sauce.
In closing Izu iz rad. There’s a jacuzzi, hot indoor pool thing, pool tables, a karaoke room and as mentioned a guitar and crazy spiders (outside). You can see the ocean or bay or whatnot and it looks gorgeous. This is the most vacation I think I’ve ever had. And mainly I’m not running around playing tourist. Yay!
