+
+I was in Japan, playing a [Takeshi's Castle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi%27s_Castle) type game with 50 other westerners from all over Europe and northern America against 50 Japanese people.
+
+We were sat in groups of 5 and being asked to answer general knowledge questions in Japanese that we had no idea about and were hopelessly guessing. After a total of 50 questions were asked there was an intermission, during which I boarded the plane that had brought the western group to Japan.
+
+Aboard this plane there was a Japanese air hostess wearing a purple swimsuit who couldn't speak English and I was asking for a pencil and paper to write down the questions so I could look them up later.
+
+I eventually got some writing materials but my writing was incredibly disjointed and fragmented, with just a few words per sentence and the writing being oriented all over the page.
+
+For the second half of us show we all competed individually doing the usual Takeshi's Castle games and I managed to make it through to the final round where you drive around a small car, but instead of attempting the objective I just drive away from the competition with the air hostess.
