Hey, Maddy and Colin
Great photos! Looks like you are really living it up in Japan. Wish we were eating yummy sushi and soaking in hot tubs, too. What a priceless experience you are both enjoying. I haven't been to Japan before, but now I can travel vicariously there thanks to your journal logs. We really want to visit Japan now. Looking forward to your next journal entry. Take care.

Hey, Now I get all the details that Connie didn't tell me about. Looks like it was a fun visit - even though a bit chilly! It was great to see you when you were home, Madeline - you certainy surprised me!! Hope you are enjoying being back and your new job - and that spring is starting to happen. Gail

so lovely
Oh Maddy, what a lovely journal you are keeping! It's so nice to see how well you look and I'm tickled by your recounting of your adventures. There are frequently Japanese speakers here at Arcosanti - several are here now, one is Anglo, the others are native Japanese. And if you get to Fukuoka, it would be great if you call my family to intoduce yourself and say Hello! Warm regards and enjoy the Bay area!

I miss Japan!
Hi Maddy, I just checked this blog site. It was great talking to you on the phone from Qualicum Beach! Now I'm back in the Nelson snow belt and still skiing at Whitewater. Seeing all your pictures and comments makes me "homesick " for Japan and Japanese culture now that I don't work with my CIC students. Love, June

Happy New Year
Your blogs bring so much laughter -- great to see all the funny pictures and you having so much fun. All of us missed you at Christmas too. Had a very nice Christmas with Barb, Doug, Greg, Becky and Sean. Heard from Nolan by email the other day -- from somewhere in Africa-- small world hey.

Hope it improves for them -- they would love some of your snow. Love ya lots HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE would love to hear from everyone else on this too

Hi Maddy, your Mom sent me your blog spot.What an adventure you are having! I think I can understand your cultural dilemma. Even though I have Japanese family in Japan, and Japanese friends in Japan (whom I've met at Arcosanti http://www.arcosanti.org - where I am now) and Japanese Sandplay Therapy colleagues in Japan - I have not been there yet myself. I'm getting my Japanese immersion vicariously, through you! Thanks! Claire PS: I'll send you contact information for any or all of them if you like!

The N factor
Hey Team, Sorry looks like I didn`t edit enough, the N key on the computer I was using only worked part of the time and I didn`t catch all the words that were missing it. And really my English is deteriorating from lack of use and when I do use it I simplify everything. It is snowing hard today and feels like winter is settling in. The onsen was great, Kengi World. I got an email from the Prince school saying they hope I will be as happy to work for them as they are to have me. I will start full time in March, really the day I arrive in Japan. Looks like it will be a short visit home. It is great that they have been so flexible, also this way I don`t have to use up all my holiday time and Colin and I will still be able to travel in Japan. Love Maddy.

Scary Foods
You are so brave to try one gross looking thing every meal. Stef and I went to a traditional Chinese wedding last weekend and I passed on about 90% of the 10 course meal. I was grossed out purely by the visual, I didn't even ask what it was to know that I did not want to eat it. I love reading your blogs.Keep it up. Love Megan
