Hi M & M, I'm really enjoying your blog and the pictures make it all the more realistic. Sounds like there was quite a difference between Russia and Japan. I'm very proud of Mare for trying all those exotic fish foods in Japan. Looks like she's made some new friends as well. I'm looking forward to hear what you have to say about Borneo and the rest of the sites you visit. Until next time, Fran
