almost sappy. and PHOTOS are up.

Hello boys and girls... for those of you still around reading i have a little treat. this one is going to be longer. much like the posts of old. Let me start by saying that I'm doing all of this on my new computer. wireless, dell laptop. i love this thing! the real question is... why didnt i get one sooner? oh the possibilities... well, coulda woulda shoulda. no problem, i have it now.

so i have been here in the land of the rising sun since september 9, 2004. (i did go home for two weeks over the summer) i have so much to say, but As much as i would like to put it all into words, it would be completely impossible to do so. I have met so many amazing people, said goodbye to many of them, that its hard to put everything in chronological order. so... I think that I'll keep most of it to myself, but i will say this...
This country is amazing. its not a dog eating, non-potable water place. The people are generally very friendly, the water is clean, the beer is tasty.......


And i've just realized that being sentimental here is pointless. I'm going to stop now.

Dan left sunday morning in a whirlwind. we woke up over an hour an a half late. basically because of a night of crazy partying japan style. we went to a party around 7. around 2 we went to karaoke. hmmm. i know that dan sang 'daniel' by elton john, and somewhere in there was 'piano man'. i sang.... ummm..... some maroon 5 song, and many others with the group. we staggered out at about 515. went to mcdonalds and bought ... something. crashed into my bed around 6. and slept through the 8 o clock alarm. nice. i have sworn off drinking for awhile.

overall we had a great time. it was definitely a more relaxing trip. we ate pizza, made our own japanese cabbage pancakes, shopped, and walked quite a bit. we averaged over 20000 steps a day. i dont know how far that is distance wise... but it was far.

dan was also able to meet kiyoe, ben, erica, and tier at greater lengths. i'd be willing to say that he liked all of them quite a bit. And for those of you not able to come over here, kiyoe will be coming to visit during the new year holiday. and there is a rumour of dan having a nice shin dig at his house on new years eve. but dont quote me on that.

ok folks... back to work. i'll email many of you soon. and check IM. i'll be there more often.
