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.

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
Hi from Vancouver Hi Maddy, thanks for the great blog. the pictures are wonderful. I'm sending the link to Joanna because I'm sure she'll love them, too. I'm so proud of what a beautiful young woman you've become. Seems like just yesterday you were little. I love you, Gloria
This is crazy!! Hi,
I love all the pictures. It is so different to see and read about your experienc in Japan. I can't get over the different outfits.
Good luck at work. I am going back to work full time next week and i haven't been full time in a year and a half. Eric is staying home. I feel what you feel but no jet lag just mommy lag!
Good luck and have fun.
Jane
Wow, Great Pictures Maddy,
I love all of your pictures! Looks like you are having a very rich cultural experience in Japan. How wonderful that Connie and David could join you and enjoy their time with you.
Gavin is taking and loves karate and is really keen on anything Japanese. Keep those pictures coming. Wish we could join you.
Love to all.
Barbara, Gavin and Bill
Hi Maddy,
It sounds like you are having so much fun. It is interesting to read all your blogs and see how different life is over there.
Anyway i know you are busy
Love Jane
Steph and I enjoy reading your blog Hey Maddy and Colin, Steph and I have been enjoying your weblog. Sounds like all is well with your side of Japan. Thanks for adding us to your weblog. Take care and come visit us in Wajima.. :)

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. I'll send you some pictures of New year in Hawaii (: snorkelling, sufing swimming in warm water (got all sunburnt)
Would really like to get up to Mount Washington skate-skiing but it has been warm and raining and the mountain didn't open. 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
connections 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!
you are so cool so... i have no idea if this works, or if you see this comment after i write it... or if everyone sees it after i write it (ha), but thought to tell you that i am thoroughly enjoying your updates, and thinking about you as i sit at my job in winnipeg manitoba, and watch it get colder and colder outside. :) will write you an email update right away, but wanted to try this comment thing out. :) love you! glad you are doing well!
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
Thanks everyone,
Sorry Simon bad punctuation on that one--the yum comment was about dinner ;)
Thanks Mike, we`ll try rotating them on the blog because no one at the internet cafe knew how to on the desktop!
Jyelle, they`ll get sent to you when we get around to adding them...
Hugs, Maddy.
blogosphere! hey maddy,
great stuff. japan looks totally crazy.
mike
ps. you rotate pics after you add them but before you publish. when they appear at the bottom of the page there is a little "rotate" button below them.
hello !:) hey you guys! great pictures.
sounds like you guys are getting things figured out there!
I haven't use this blog thing before.. every time you update your adventures will I know about it or will I have to check for it?
all the best!
