Ok, ok, apparently the comment function isn't working for everyone but we've been sufficiently assured that we are not just talking to ourselves, so we'll go on. But not at the moment. Right now we are nursing a karaoke hang over on three hours of sleep before heading out to a baseball game for our last day in Japan. The tales of the last few days (which include herds of attack deer, cabbage obsessions, and prostitutes-- different stories) will be forthcoming when I regain higher brain function.

We get on a plane tonight for Gold Coast, Australia. Expect an update tomorrow evening (Oz time) with the full dish.
