| 19th November 2008 Olivia | Subway - From: Super Sunday: Sumo, Sake & Sugar-Daddies The subway sounds kinda like the beltway (basically goes around in a circle covering the heart of Tokyo. It stops at all the central neighborhoods and stations) but sooo much better! |
| 19th November 2008 Olivia | Sleep... - From: Buddhism or Shintoism? Why not both? We are still the same in the morning...I can do without it thank you very much, but such is life. |
| 19th November 2008 Olivia | Ferris Wheel - From: Lazy day in Tokyo. At first glance I thought hell no I wouldn't get on that giant thing, but the pictures from the top are so amazing that I wouldn't want to miss it! Glad you got to do so many fun things. |
| 19th November 2008 Olivia | Awesome! - From: RaeRae's Top Ten - Japan Worthy of Dave Letterman, this entry would make anyone want to visit Japan. |
| 18th September 2008 Dad | - From: Do you love the smell of sulphur? Hakone is for you! I really enjoyed your trip notes and felt almost like I was there part of the time. GREAT JOB!!!! |
| 16th September 2008 Aunt Mary | - From: Super Sunday: Sumo, Sake & Sugar-Daddies What a great experience at the Sumo show! Sounds like you and they enjoyed the interaction tremendously and how generous of them to share their food and drinks. Their reaction to you both having the same name is so funny and reminds me of having a roommate named Mary for a few years after I graduated from NIU. Made for some interesting interactions! Love u, Aunt Mary |
| 15th September 2008 Erica | Pink Bubbles - From: Kyoto to Tokyo...the last move! A friend of mine who was dealing with family "issues" while being treated for cancer shared an exercise that her therapist taught her. When she needed to not get drained by mother's hyper-critical overbearingness she would mentally blow a big PINK bubble and put her mom inside -- her mom could just keep going in that bubble, but it no longer affected my friend. Might work on Pomerainians -- |
| 15th September 2008 mom | - From: Super Sunday: Sumo, Sake & Sugar-Daddies What a fabulous set of experences! I just read them all at one time and I feel as if I've been there with you. Save a little of your enthusiasmj for our vacation; I'm counting on having a good time then alsol Pictures were great, too. Love, mom and dad. |
| 12th September 2008 Erica | Could never keep up with you - From: When the 2nd largest Buddha just isn't good enough... Ok, I'm taking a day off, but had to keep up with your postings -- they are that good. Good thing I'm NOT at work, since I completely cracked up -- the deer that nuzzled someone to death. Oh God! That is so funny! Additional comments: LOVE the cute girls that you took pics with. Lovely. You MUST have ginormous feet -- bigger than size 8 -- Please, how is that possible?! Oh, lastly -- Work related. Sorry. But good news. I just this minute found out that we HAVE gotten the Media Mash Up grant -- so you and Mahina will be wisked off to Minneapolis in November or December for training. (Minneapolis in December... Yay?)

| 11th September 2008 Amy | Good Times! - From: I was good touristo today because... Hey you! Glad you're having a good time. Lots of fun pix, too! Saw on the news this morning that there was an earthquake in Hokkaido, which jogged my memory that you were there--hoping you weren't in Hokkaido just yet. Anyhow, beer? Popular? See: this is why I would've LOVED to be in your luggage! Don't forget to come back, dear! |

| 9th September 2008 Andy | Ahh...Japanese tv... - From: Oiy! Migraines suck! Even in Asia... Don't you just love the commercials and game shows? They are so bizarre that I'm pretty sure understanding the language wouldn't help you much in understanding the content. SNL had it spot-on when they did the Chris Farley/Mike Myers sketch... -a |
