had a delightlful meal last night of bread, french cheese and sosi… saucisson! absolutely scrumptious. Mayumi is still in desbelief that it tastes so good in comparison to the bilge cheese we get here. she says thank you all so much for the nice gifts!

  1. Presumably they taste all the better for being rare commodities? I remember Mamie snaffling a small Brie triangle we had saved from the plane and using slivers of it to ‘arrange’ her mouth on several successive evenings.

a jolly few days back in tokyo. thanks Tan and Geoff, i had an epic time! here are some photos.

i am currently in Korea, where it is a delightful minus 6.5 degrees. i think i have lost a good deal of my face to frostbight. its still rather nice here as the food is fantastic and in general its very cheap. there was some suggestion at the airport that i would need an outgoing ticket on my return to japan but i have printed out my statement and am hopeing for the best. that said could you let me know a likely date i should book a ticket home in case i have to by one in narita or something unpleasent.

Sounds deeply hellish! it brought to mind this tarot card.
