wicked Hey guys! Once again another awesome blog by t-bone and maam. That dog is really scary....its looks like it has puppy anarexia. I feel sorry for it... Im glad in one picture trav is see through because sometimes, hes really not a pretty sight. HAHA! Love you both, Kev
Cool Cool. so thats why everyone who got called that got upset. Thanks for the comment! As soon as i walked into the door with my toilet paper roll and costume, the teacher was laughing so hard i thought she was going to die! I'm glad to see you guys are having so much fun. Love you both, Kev
Gaijin hey Kev! great to hear from you. Haha sorry we didn't explain the meaning of the word - gaijin is the japanese word for foreigner.
also loved your halloween costume! well done!
love Michelle and Trav
Sweet! Hey guys! I cant believe trav went into the kiddie maze. Sounds like a travis thing to do though. Ive watched the movie Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, and they said the word gaijin a couple times and it really ticked me off not knowing what it meant. Could you guys tell me? This is really late but, Happy halloween! Loved travis's costume. keep on rockin' Japan!
Awesome Loved the stats of Canada versus Japan - fascinating even to non-nerds! Travis's bread head costume - hilarious.
How would you two feel about having your blogs posted on yorkregion.com? It truly is so interesting and I imagine that a lot of people would feel the same. Let me know.
Love Sheila

Whats with all the love things? Is it a tradition or something to have all those? looks like you guys are having loads of fun. KEEP IT UP! Love, Kev
WOW! Whoa. I neevr knew that the people in tokyo actually walked in the very middle of the road. It must be hard to get around but with trav in the car it wont be boring for long... Your guys room looks very cool. it looks like its all from ikea...Wish I was there with you both! :D love kevin
Happy Birthday Happy Birthday Michelle - thought of you on Sunday. Looks like you guys are going to be busy, although housework should be a snap. My question - are there no cars on those streets, all I see are people walking down the centre.
HB! Happy Birthday Michelle!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time! Good luck with the teaching! I know you guys will be great!!! Your new home looks good too!
Farm question Re the flower farm, do the flowers get harvested or something or are they just there for tourists etc.? Sooooooo pretty! I can't believe it!! Love the comments on your pics too! Miss you guys!
Better than Lainey Hey guys, this is my new "take a break from work" read so keep up the good work! Sounds so fun out there!! Michelle, I think you should eat fish heads!! Sick :P !!
HI! Hey guys,
Great you hear you got there safe and sound, that's so awesome that you've already made friends. Send me some food, it sounds awesome!! Take care!!!
green with envy! squishy eyeballs - way to go travis. Michelle i'm so jealous. Sounds like you guys are seizing the day BIG TIME. i love that you've made such a good friend of Yoko simply from sharing a drink with her - talk about making the world seem smaller.
Hello from Canada! It is so nice to see photos from Japan. You both look so happy!
You both know how to have fun!!!
We are going to Chicago this weekend for Sheila's 50th celebration.
I will write again next week.

We got married in June of 2007 and figured our backpack through Asia trip had to happen now or never, so we quit our jobs, sold our cars, rented our condo, and booked our plane tickets. Now it's time to teach in Japan and then travel through Southeast Asia!
May, 2008
We arrived safely back in Toronto, and we have to get back to real life! We're trying to get the last few entries of our travels posted so please bear with us!
March, 2009
We have continued our travels with a short visit to South America: Chile and Argentina!... full info
