Kamikaze ghosts
Spent the weekend on the southwest coast of the island. This place just gets gorgeouser and gorgeouser(sic). I spent part of Saturday wandering around an old Japanese airfield that is now a series of potato fields. This was an airfield that Kamikaze attacks were apparently launched from, so it felt creepy to walk around the hangars, which are now used by farmers to store stuff. Plowshares perhaps. Reminded me of the end of Empire of the Sun (watch it today). Can you spot the Blue Rock Thrush perched on a hangar? His name is Waldo. For those in the UK, his name is Wally. Also went to Mara-do. I'm sunburned. Nose.

Yeah! Your prize is a phosphorescent phantom Blue Rock Thrush spirit guide, that will only appear to you when you are battered, and whisper things in your ear that will lead you to make bad decisions.
