ah, so - Funny-san The pictures look beautiful and it looks wonderful. Funny-san fits you perfectly, maybe you should change your clown name when you get back. Eat a rice ball for me!!
I know that artifact! It used to be in theme parks and travellers' fairs in Spain in the 80s. I didn't know it had got to Japan!
And that white owl is SO cute!
Enjoy your trips, Funnybone

Mysterious Artifact This same original artifact in Rome was made famous in the film "3 Coins in the Fountain" Audrey Hepburn is tricked by Gregory Peck that his hand is stuck in the mouth.
Five minutes des! You're making me home sick for HTB! I was there with the Fire Pixie troupe last year and every word you write brings me right back there. Do you get to work with June, Okajima, Tatiama or Morikawa? They were our crew. They kept us alive and sane. I miss them all.
Life's good... Gee, 20 minute sets... you've got to be making quick stuff! Is there a big audience at each set? All that bike riding will have you dropping pounds fast! I won't recognize you when you get back! Keep it up, buddy!
Kewl Glad you arrived safe! How far is the internet cafe or the office from your dorm? If it's close enough, and if you can get permission, you could install a wireless hub at their location and pick it up at your dorm. At least you've got some connectivity! Hopefully I'll be able to contact you in June while I'm over there!
Mr. Sparkle Are you going to become famous when they think you ARE that clown?
Sounds like you are going to have great time over there! Thanks for sharing your blog, so we can follow your adventure.

Wow that was fast! Just as I was commenting on your arrival, your first day report showed up ;). I knew you'd make friends fast there, and he looks like one cool cat.
Happy Happy Arrival Glad to hear you got there safe and sound. That clown does look like you, weirder and weirder. I guess Scype won't work as well as you hopped with no wireless connection. At least we can keep in touch this way. Good luck on your first day!
