| 22nd September 2005 NanoDano | Kyoto Life - From: From tourist to resident of Kyoto Hey Iva! Totally lovin' the blog! Sounds like you are having quite the adventure. I too loved Kyoto but only got to see it as a tourtist. That's the disadvantage of traveling on business - little time to explore. The upside is that I don't have to worry about where I'm sleeping next. Everything you say about Kyoto is true! I love the photos...it brings back memories. Maybe if I swing through there next Feb we can get together and enjoy some shochu and saki. Nothing like hanging out with the locals! Oh, and by the way, Rita and I are expecting baby #2 around New Year's Day! Be safe, and we look forward to hearing about your next adventures! Dan |

| 25th July 2005 kelleY | Luv ya - From: Beyond Nagoya to Kyoto I was walking down 104st just north of Jasper and saw a lovely, stauesque blonde riding her bike and ... sigh, Iva. You are on my mind as of late. Thinking of the grand times you must be having. I have enjoyed the blog immensely; with its stunning photos and stories told in such a way that I can hear your voice and see your laughter. Enjoy, my friend. |
| 4th July 2005 vj clip | cultural tidbits - From: yum Hey my friend. If you have any more cultural rules, i.e. the chopstick rule, I would love to hear them (never know when one's going to take off to Japan on a whim). I am continuing the voyage of getting to know my own country this summer by going to Ottawa, Hull and T.O. as well will be going to Vernon to visit the folks for their 35th wedding anniversary. I've never been to T.O., Ottawa or Hull and am very much looking forward to it. How did Colleen describe Hull? Oh yes, French Canadian Headbangers ... enticing, no?! The video jam was a success. The Works festival liked our stuff, and looks like we'll be doing more work in the future. I'll send you pics. Gotta fly. kelleY |
| 30th June 2005 kristjan | classic iva - From: Takayama and beyond "There were two cool cat Japanese younguns in the bar and I asked them if there was a cool but affordable music festival or something around. It turned out that my timing was perfect because the next night at Nakao Onsen, a dude named Yoshi was having a music party at his lodge, which cost $3000 yen including accomodation. So I got invited and went the next day, and it was so lovely." classic. loving reading your journal iva, the pictures are amazing. im glad you're having such a great time :> |
| 28th June 2005 Melissa | Good Day Little Explorer! - From: Canadian Farm Hey Iva! Great adventures! Even though you had some rough times, aren't you happy you had those experiences? I missed my boat in Thailand and had to buy all new tickets and it felt like it was 100 degrees out and I almost cried-but it made for a good story! I'm glad your wwoofing is going great and that you've finally met some people-I was also very lonely at times when I travelled, I just wanted to meet someone who could speak some english so I could have some conversation. I know it can be a real problem for the likes of you and I-two chatterboxes! I miss you lot's and keep writing! :) Love you-hugs and sunshine, Mel |
