Its great to see photos. It helps me visualize you there and having a great time. You do a good job with pictures. They convey to sense of the experience.

The Olympic park looks like a great place for walking and I do agree that the boullion will last you a full year.

Great photos, Sara!!

I loved the "Land of the Morning Calm" photo....and really, the mountains in the background! Wow.

Can't wait to go there...
I will go to Japan in March. Any chance you can visit? If not, maybe I can visit after all my concerts are done. I will e-mail you soon! Let me know when your PC get's going, and please get Skype! That's one of my best discoveries of the year 2005! Keith and I were talking to my parents in front of our PC for free! We didn't even need a headset because of the internal mic. and speakers. It's like we're in the same room. Waycool. We will get a webcam soon, too...
Love,
momo

OH OH OH I WANT PIG SLIPPERS!

Label fun is so awesome. I didn't really get to play that game in Australia, or Europe. I think that Asian labels are hysterical, too, all full of happyhappyjoyjoy. :)

Hooray for digital cameras! Hugs to you!
