I was quite excited on this flight as we were going to meet Gwen & Mike. Our flight was a little delayed but there they were at arrivals. Even holding a little name card which was funny! We headed down to the JR office to activate our rail passes & off we went onto the 1st train of the trip. The airport express was exactly that spee…

Just stumbled across your blog as I am preparing for my trip there in the summer. I have to say that your photos are beautiful and the blog entries were a joy to read :)

Yo Yo, just been reading your blog and checking out photos. How Jealous am I right now. In stark contrast to your awesome sounding cooking lesson I'm about to embark on a work equivalent of the great british bake off so not quite the same but I may have perfected a cake by your return (if I'm really good maybe even a mous bouch!!) hope you're having a great time (although it distinctly sounds like you are) and keep blogging so I can continue to practice the art of jealousy, maybe for the first time, but that's distictly what this feeling is, i"m sure of it.
Me love you long time!!

Great blogs, makes us feel as though we are there with you (at least in spirit). Please take care of the bodies and rest up occasionally to re-energise.

Glad you guys are having such an amazing time! Great to read about your travels (despite the lack of RSS feed on this site!).
Regarding laptop, I'm sure I'm teaching Sy to suck eggs, but even if the machine is dead you can almost certainly recover photos from the hard disk, so don't go chucking it away.
