* Win or Loose / how much I should pay for a Taxi

I had a mistake, then I was so taking easy. As soon as I got off the bus, several taxi drivers talked to me. As I knew well the place I arrived, I easily believed the taxi driver. I had thought that the taxi fee was 5 dollars and I did not ask the driver anything about the fee. Approximately in 20 minutes he got me to the cabana, Lo Cosmico -the Cosmos-...

I asked him ¨Cuanto?¨ This means ¨how much?¨. He said to me ¨20 dollars¨ Uhhh,,, I don´t worry the price itself and I don´t want to loose the game of fee negotiation even though it is the place where I am strange.

I came back to him, ¨it is too expensive and it should be 5 dollars¨, right then he replied 15 dollars. I lost the game but hit some back to him...

Be brave to win the negotiation at the place you visit for the first time!!!

* at Internet cafe far away from Japan

Hola, como este? It took over 20 hours to arrive this place from Narita airport. People next to me are enjoying internet. I am not sure what country they are from. Languages look Spanish and German... I am only peson who comes to this shop alone and we hear the music outside of this.

This place I am visiting is not so rural as I expected. I had heard that it was the central of the local, native culture in this country but I who have been surprised with several experience could not be so impressed. The place further west from here which was in the state which was suffered from hurricane is more rural and makes visiters exciting with native atomosphere.

Yesterday I enjoyed the tour to the ancient building, but it does´t mean that I like the archtecture like the world heritage. I am not interested in that and what I would like to enjoy is the communication with people, who are local and come here from overseas. One married couple is from New York and they are lowyers. Wife has already retired, and husband seemed younger than she and looked like Richard Gear. They are successful guys, very friendly and like talking.

Other two married couples are from the same country. One is around 60s and the other is 33rs&30rs olds honey mooner!! This young couple are working a same large TV company, and Bride is TV reporter. She is very beautiful, when she asked me to push the shoter button of camera we became friendly. Husband is behind her for the job. Both couples, New Yorkers and Honey mooners are "Office lovers" ! At the late lunch time we enjoyed the beer and strong spirit....

Tommorrow I am going to the small village. This is the second time and I will try to find out the glasses I lost there a few years ago...
