Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Soz for the break in transmission. My phone don't work in Korea. Now..where were we?

The Japanese leg finished up with a bang. Great show. Was still feeling wiped out. Don't really think they seen us at our best this time. Does that make any sense? It does to me.

Talking of not making sense, tell me what you make of this. Y'know how them Japanese have a unique take on things? Well I was strutting 'round Shibuya (in Tokyo) the other day and I spotted something that made me laugh. Found myself on a street full of themed bars. Get on these.

An Irish bar (naturally).
An English bar.
A BRITISH bar (can't leave the Scots and the Welsh out - sweet really).
A Victorian bar?!

And this is the killer - a lads bar!? The sign in the window (in very laddish pink neon) read: LADS BAR (FOR CASUAL DRINKING). I had to have a look in. Y'never know, Mr al-Fayed's shoes might've been at the bar. There was a few boys in there with fresh NME/Shockwaves hairdooz. Looking about as casual as Franz Ferdinand putting on eyeliner!

Remember "The Sign"? Well the kids had them in Korea. Except these ones said "Noel Or Death"!! There was one at the airport today. In Taipei!! Madness.

That gig in Seoul was truly amazing. The stand-out gig of the whole tour so far. Who'd have thought it? Not me, that's for sure. God bless them South Korean kids.

Gotta go. It's taken me nearly 2 hours to write this. Bit too much to drink last night, etc.

In a bit.

GD.
