Are you travelling with Top Deck?
Hey, I've just had a read of you last few posts and they sound a lot like the tour I'm taking with Top Deck in 2 weeks! Are you on the Mega European tour or something shorter?

Maybe a higher power is leading you in your life as it was mean\'t to be.......and you are letting it happen. Love you lots....

Its good that you found another path to go back upon, for some odd reason nothing grates with me more than when you walk a certain amount of hours in one direction and then have to turn around and walk back exactly the same way, not to sure why that bugs me, it just does!

Great pics. Beautiful.,.....

Taishakuten
Hi. I went there to Taishakuten Temple last weekend. The carvings there (showing the various tales associated to Buddhism) are marevelous, aren't they? I saw many parents bringing kids for 7-5-3. Had some snacks there too. Cheers.

Good News
Nice to know that things are going better for you..........sounds like you chose the right school to start your teaching even if it is so far away. Be careful walking in the dark .... pay attention to what you are doing........I know it is that old G/ma that worries too much. It is just because I love you. Sure enjoying your blogs......I have let Arlene read them too and she worried about you in the beginning when things were not going as well. Take good care of yourself and I will be looking forward to your next blog. LOVE YOU. G/ma Jo.

Hello, there. There is wi-fi in all McDonalds as well as in most Starbucks, as well as hundreds of locations throughout Japan, but they are just locked by codes for the use of virtually everyone in Japan who contracts for various wi-fi deals when buying a notebook. You can also contract for Yodobashi's Wireless Gate for some fee, or get a Pocket Wi-Fi. Starbucks is now freeing the use of wi-fi upon registration. Free wi-fi means management issue against internet related crimes in Japan. About ATMs - Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ has 24 hour open ATMs, if you have their account. As they are not my main bank I do end up with no cash with me at 21:01 on Sunday evenings, and have to use my credit card which I dislike because of the reasons you've mentioned.

Ganbare!
Considering you managed to get to their place by yourself after sleeping so little... YOU ARE DOING GREAT! And don't you JUST LOVE IT when "Get things done" mode comes over you? And hey, at least when you made minor mistakes you caught them very quickly and didn't just collapse in a heap of nonobservance on the train. I forgot about this travel blog but I'm so happy I subscribed back when you went to Germany ♥ can't wait to hear about your adventures (no matter how uneventful some may seem to you).

Whoops I forgot to put my name on that last one, EL OH EL.

I got it!
Hey, Kate, I have found your blog! It's great! I love your pictures and your writing, as usual, is very descriptive and entertaining. We did note there is a lot of beer being mentioned! :-) Sounds like you are having a great time with, of course, a few trying moments but that's part of traveling. Did I see Jin on your bed in one of the pictures? It looked like Gasper sitting there! Miss you! Love, Mom

Omg all the pictures are so pretty~ Also at some point you should totally say "Zurich Lake......WO?" to keep Nagase's legend of German fail going strong. 8Db
