"Back"

Just a quick note to let you know I made it across the ocean and the government even let me back into the country! My first thoughts: I can't believe how big everything is here!
Everything seems a bit surreal right now, but I'm sure it will all come make sense to me eventually. I'm setting about doing research on getting new health insurance, a cell phone, and a new computer...so if anyone has any advice (or knows anyone who'd benefit from setting me up with any of these), please let me know!
OK - now to go find some food to stock my bachelor brother's kitchen...

Well, this is the last post I'm doing from Japan...thank you all for following my adventures here, and see you in the U.S.!

Ghibli Museum

I still can't believe I've left Nagasaki...
Even though the weather's been messy here in Tokyo, the Ghibli Museum was the perfect rainy day activity. WOW! What a fantastic museum. Can you see Totoro in the window there?
(I'm on my mobile phone typing these posts, so I'll elaborate later.)

One last time in Gosoin Garden at my school...
I'm in Tokyo now, and heading to Fuji after I visit the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka. Hope to be able to send you a view of Fujisanlater!
