I really enjoyed your Torriealba post! Reminded me of my own time there, and how amazing it was! My blog is looking for travel photos, reviews, etc, to share (like maybe of a good river rafting guide!). If you have the time, check it out dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. We're also giving away a free night in Peru or Bolivia, if you're headed down that way, or know anyone who is. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Subway
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!

Ferris Wheel
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.

I really enjoyed your trip notes and felt almost like I was there part of the time. GREAT JOB!!!!

Pink Bubbles
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 --

Could never keep up with you
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?)

Travel writing?
Awesome post! Encapsulates what I love and dread about travelling. Rachel, you are a great writer. Have you considered travel writing.....?

Hi
Hi, Am enjoying your running comments and pictures. Wish I was there, but will have fun hearing all about it this fall.

Ahh...Japanese tv...
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

3 LOL
Three laugh out louds for this entry -- pretty good for disrupting Level 11!

Woo hoo!
Thank you for starting up your travel blog! I am super excited to see your pictures and follow along with you on your trip. Alan, Mark, and I are at IDC today (Friday) being jealous of you. Have a great time and be safe!
